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

The role: As a Maintenance Assistant, you will play an important role in maintaining our facilities, supporting our team, and ensuring a clean, secure, and welcoming environment for both animals and employees. Your role will involve supporting the 3 Battersea sites with general maintenance tasks to allow the site to meet its operational needs.

These include 28 days of annual leave (plus 8 days paid public holidays) per year, discounted gym memberships and cycle to work schemes, Employee Assistance Programme and access to Wellbeing Resources, generous pension contributions - up to 10% employer contribution, and a free healthcare cash plan. We are also committed to providing learning and development to our employees, including access to digital and in-person training programmes, leadership and management training, mentoring and much more.
