About Dogs Trust:

We love dogs. That’s why we do whatever we can to make sure every four-legged friend gets the love they deserve. We’ll never put a healthy dog down, so our work is focused on helping dogs in need, supporting owners every step of the walk, and creating a better world for dogs in the future. It’s what we’ve been doing since 1891 and how we’ve grown to become the UK’s leading dog charity, helping 12,000 loyal friends find their forever homes every year.

What does this team do?
Dogs Trust are reliant on voluntary donations to continue our work. As part of this, we build corporate partnerships with businesses that help the organisation to generate income, save on core costs and achieve organisational objectives. Whilst we already generate significant income through our existing partnerships with businesses, we have big ambitions to increase our income from companies to support our work to help dogs in the UK and around the world.

In return for all of this, we have an enticing benefits package, which includes excellent annual leave, pension allowances, Perkbox and you will you join a team of highly professional and driven colleagues in a brilliant upbeat and collaborative environment, all with a genuine passion for dogs!
