Volunteer education co-ordinator (dog training)

Support Dogs is going through a period of exceptional growth including the development of a new centre of excellence in Sheffield. To truly be able to take the next step in our development, we are looking to further support our vital volunteers to ensure they receive the guidance and training they need to provide a safe and nurturing environment for assistance dogs. This is a fantastic opportunity. We are facing an overwhelming demand for our services and this role will enable us to continue to grow and make an increasing impact in the lives of adults and children affected by epilepsy, autism, and physical disabilities.

About the Role

We are looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic Volunteer Education Coordinator (Dog Training) to join our team. This role is essential in assessing, educating, and supporting volunteers before they receive an assistance dog placement. You will work closely with the training team to ensure volunteers are well-prepared, and their home environment and lifestyle are suitably matched to the needs of the dog.

This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a dynamic and passionate team, making a meaningful impact on the lives of assistance dogs and the people who rely on them.

This role will be on a 30 hours per week contract and will require flexibility in working hours, as some evenings and occasional weekend work will be required.
