Volunteer Vacancies
All of the volunteer positions that are currently available are listed below.
Please note that we are only able to accept applications for volunteer roles when they are advertised here – we are unable to accept speculative CV's, and we do not maintain a waiting list. The only exception to this is if you are contacting us regarding a specific skill that you may be able to offer us (e.g. photography), please contact us if you would like to discuss a specific way in which you may be able to help us.
Please check back regularly for new volunteer opportunities which will be advertised when they become available. All our volunteer roles require volunteers to be aged 18+. But there are plenty of ways that our younger supporters can help the animals in our care – check out our Get Inspired page for more information – or contact our Fundraising team today!

Current vacancies
We are very excited to announce that we will have new volunteer roles within our Animal Care Team.
This brand new evening role will support our Animal Care Team with looking after our animals at the end of the day, providing feeds, exercise, enrichment and walks as needed, as well as giving the animals some one-on-one time before bed to help settle them in for the night.
This will involve working with our team to care for our dogs, cats and other smaller residents like rabbits, guinea pigs and ferrets – ensuring that they have everything they need before they get tucked in for the night.
The role requires a minimum commitment of at least one evening per week from 5 pm until 10 pm, with full training provided.
Roles are available 5 pm – 10 pm, Monday – Sunday.
Due to a high level of interest we've now paused applications for this role.
