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 passionate individuals to join this team as Dog Rehomers 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, working closely with the Rehoming & Welfare Assistants and Rehoming & Welfare Coordinators in both the public kennels and all other associated areas.

We offer a range of benefits to support the wellbeing of our employees. 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, free healthcare cash plan, where you can claim for a range of treatment including dental, optical, physiotherapy, chiropody and acupuncture every year, annual interest-free season ticket loans.

We aim to ensure that this pledge, reinforced by our values, is embedded in our day-to-day working practices and our work together. By hearing from and valuing different experiences, perspectives, and contributions, we know we can provide the best expert care for every dog and cat who needs us.
