Battersea Dogs & Cats Home

Who we are

At Battersea, we aim to never turn away a dog or cat in need of help. We give each one lots of love and expert care and get to know their characters and quirks so we can find them a new home that’s just right for them.

All the knowledge we gather in our centres helps us to improve the lives of the animals we’ll never meet, through our work with other rescue organisations and charities. We also help people make informed choices when getting a pet, we provide training and welfare advice, and we campaign for changes in the law when we see that dogs and cats or their owners deserve better.

Join us and help us be here for every dog and cat, wherever they are, for as long as they need us.
 

Our culture and values

• CARE - We care wholeheartedly about our mission to be here for every dog and cat, and the work we do to achieve this.
• EXCELLENCE - We are experts at what we do, focusing on continual improvement, learning and growing our expertise, so we can all be the best we can be.
• DETERMINATION - We stay focused and solve problems to achieve our foals and our mission to be here for every dog and cat.
• RESPECT - We treat one another with respect, just as treat every dog and cat with respect.
• INCLUSION - We champion diversity in all its forms, so that everyone can be themselves and feel valued and included.
• COLLABORATION - We understand that by working together across teams and with our partners, we achieve more for dogs and cats.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

At Battersea, we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse workforce and inclusive culture in all aspects of our organisation. We aim to ensure that this pledge, reinforced by our values, is embedded in our day-to-day working practices and our work together.

By hearing from and valuing different experiences, perspectives, and contributions, we know we can provide the best expert care for every dog and cat who needs us. We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, particularly those from diverse ethnic communities and people with disabilities, who we know are currently underrepresented in our workforce.

As a Disability Confident Committed Employer we will ask about any adjustments you may need at application and/or interview stage, and if you are offered a role with us, we’ll talk to you about any workplace adjustments you may need to help you perform at your best. If you would like to talk more about this, please contact [email protected] or call us on 020 3887 8341.
