About Dogs for Good

Inspired by the way her own dogs instinctively wanted to help, our founder, Frances Hay set up the charity in 1986. France’s vision was to help disabled people by training assistance dogs to make daily life easier. In 2015 we changed our name from Dogs for the Disabled to Dogs for Good to reflect the wider community that we support.

Our groundbreaking work has shown us how dogs and the bond we share with them can lead to happier, healthier lives. Our work is bringing the best out of a person and dog relationship and we achieve this in many ways- some of these are: · matching people with our highly skilled assistance dogs

· helping families make the most of the relationship with their own dog

· providing community-based support for groups of people who can benefit from a connection with our dogs

· working with research partners to advance our work and advocate for the wellbeing and inclusion of people and dogs who support them
 

About Our Workplace

Dogs for Good is dedicated to advancing the boundless possibilities of what a connection between people and dogs can enable – in making everyday life fuller, healthier and happier for everyone involved. We want to support more people to benefit from these connections and we have an exciting new strategy to expand our reach and impact.  As Dogs for Good moves towards establishing a community-led way of working by 2028, planning for the growth of our existing network of community-based services and volunteers is part of our new Hub Development programme.

· creating and nurturing a welcoming and supportive community for everyone connected to Dogs for Good in that locality – our staff, our dogs, our volunteers and the people we support (potential, new and existing)

· being part of a pilot project team; objectively testing what works and what doesn’t, providing feedback and evidence on the best structures, tools and processes we want to keep and repeat

· Getting stuck in and hands on – and equally enjoys looking at ‘the big picture’ and helping shape future organisational plans

· Volunteer Management: Actively recruit, support, and manage volunteers, leveraging best practices we've piloted

· Fundraising: Seek and prepare responses to local funding opportunities and collaborate with central teams to support existing projects and develop new community fundraising initiatives

· Service Integration: Work with the Dogs for Good team to integrate our services within the Hub for maximum impact, ensuring we have the necessary processes, tools, and materials

· Evaluation and Reporting: Engage in evaluation and reporting to assess the pilot's impact, providing objective feedback and ideas for improvement. Ensure data collection aligns with our Data Protection policy and partner agreements

· Service Support: Assist our service delivery team, for example by finding and coordinating suitable venues for safe and effective service delivery

· Safeguarding: Monitor and take appropriate steps to safeguard clients, including vulnerable children and adults, in line with our Safeguarding Policy

· Additional Tasks: Perform any other tasks as agreed with your line manager
