Rehoming & Welfare Coordinator (Dog Rehoming)

At Battersea, we aim to never turn away a dog or cat in need of help. We give each one lots of love and expert care and get to know their characters and quirks so we can find them a new home that's just right for them.

Our Dog Operations Team is responsible for delivering the highest standards of animal welfare and care for every dog in their journey through Battersea, from intake, to their care and assessments and then to rehoming.

We are looking for an individual to join this team as a Dog Rehomer to provide the highest level of customer service to customers whilst ensuring the best outcomes for the dogs in Battersea's care. They will do this by engaging with customers looking to rehome a dog and identifying potential matching dogs, ensuring positive outcomes for both the dogs & customers. They will also support with daily management of dogs and identify suitable rehoming criteria for dogs once they have completed their assessments and create their rehoming profiles.

In return for your commitment to our cause and to recognise the value of our employees, Battersea offers a range of benefits to support the wellbeing of our employees. These include:

Working with our animals:

Working with our rescues is a very rewarding experience. Your work plays a vital role in giving our dogs and cats a chance at finding their forever home. Everyday will be different and will come with its own unique challenges. We are looking for people with the resilience and adaptability to handle all aspects of this role. It is important to note that the role does involve a lot of physical tasks which are required to provide the exceptional standards of care to our animals.

Equality, diversity and inclusion:

At Battersea, we are committed to providing equal opportunities and developing a diverse workforce and inclusive culture in all aspects of our organisation. We aim to ensure that this pledge, reinforced by our values, is embedded in our day-to-day working practices and our work together.
