More about the role:

Based in our high street location since 2018, we are perfectly placed to support our local community and surrounding areas. Our foster-based care and Home Direct scheme ensures animals find loving homes without the stress of kennels. This means that we do not usually have pets staying onsite overnight and our roles may not include daily pet care, but no two days are ever the same. 

This is a wonderful opportunity to join Blue Cross to lead an incredible team to ensure the delivery of high-quality rehoming services that includes exceptional care for our pets and clients and efficient, connected decisions making in relation to pet welfare.

On a day-to-day basis you will have responsibility for the smooth running of the home-based pet operations, and the overall responsibility, as a subject matter expert, for practical animal handling and assessment so that pets are prepared for adoption in the quickest amount of time. This will see you working closely with your team and colleagues to make sure that any pet assessment, behaviour, or training is delivered in a timely and efficient way and that any foster carers are fully supported.

You will be an excellent manager of people, having skills which are finely honed by working in a similar, animal related environment with expert knowledge and application of pet welfare and care.  

As an accomplished, positive, and innovative manager, you will know how to inspire, motivate, and drive continuous improvement. You will be able to lead a team of Pet Care Specialists, developing and empowering them through effective management and coaching. 

With your excellent communication skills, you will have the ability to adapt your approach to suit different audiences. As there are always many ‘plates spinning,’ you will be naturally calm and organised, and be prepared to make decisions in a high-pressure environment. 

You will bring strong analytical skills and have the ability to rigorously monitor, assess and evaluate in order to deliver improvements. You will not ‘rest on your laurels,’ you will have an appetite to continually improve onsite facilities and services, ensuring your team and others involved are engaged. 

You will know what it is like to work in an emotionally charged environment and have excellent ‘bounce back ability’ and resilience. In addition, you will be emotionally intelligent, showing empathy and knowing how to support your team and members of the public.
