We aim to do this by providing with advice and support to  people who are struggling with their dogs and cats so that animals can stay where they are loved and cared for - reducing the need for animals to come into our care for preventable reasons.

Battersea’s new organisational strategy comprises three core pillars: Prevent, Support and Care.

The postholder should have a background in information and support, advice or content development and have led on the development of a strategic programme within a not-for-profit setting that delivers social impact. The role requires excellent stakeholder engagement both internally and externally, and experience in collaboration and partnership working to deliver shared benefit.
