More about the role

At Blue Cross, our ambition drives us, and our Sheffield rehoming, advice, and behaviour unit in South Yorkshire, just a short drive from the beautiful Peak District, plays a vital role in helping us achieve our goals and support more pets in need. Our proactive team is dedicated to assisting the local community in various ways, from helping people and pets in need through our food bank to providing rehoming services for a wide range of pets. Without cattery or kennel facilities, we must be innovative as a team to ensure we can address the most urgent cases. 

This is an exciting opportunity to join Blue Cross as the Assistant Manager – Client Services, where you'll lead a dynamic team committed to providing exceptional client care. You'll make informed decisions that prioritise pet welfare and deliver outstanding rehoming services. 

In this role, you'll actively enhance our clients' experiences, ensuring every interaction is positive, efficient, and upholds our high standards. You’ll play a key part in helping the centre meet its targets for pet-related income, adopter and admitter satisfaction, and supporter engagement.

As a positive and innovative manager, you know how to inspire and motivate your team, fostering a culture of continuous improvement. You’ll lead a team of Pet Welfare Assistants, empowering them through effective management and coaching to reach their full potential. 

With excellent communication skills, you adapt your approach to resonate with different audiences. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, staying calm and organised while juggling multiple tasks and making sound decisions under pressure. 

Having worked in emotionally charged settings, you understand the importance of resilience and possess excellent “bounce-back ability.” Your emotional intelligence and empathy enable you to support both your team and members of the public, creating a compassionate and effective workplace.
