Job description

Created by a team of passionate dog lovers from the animal welfare group IAPWA, the I Love Hiking and Dogs UK Facebook community is a space to explore new walking routes, connect with like-minded dog owners, and take part in dog-friendly hiking meet-ups across the UK. While our group is designed for dog lovers, you don’t need to own a dog to get involved, everyone is welcome to join our community, share experiences, and take part in our group walks. Our meet-ups also offer an opportunity to support animal welfare causes, helping to improve the lives of dogs around the world.


About the Role
We are looking for enthusiastic, friendly volunteers to help coordinate and host local Wag & Walks in their area. These walks are casual, community-led dog walks where members of our Facebook group can meet up, enjoy nature, and connect with fellow dog lovers.

 

As a Wag & Walk Coordinator, you will:

  • Organise and promote dog-friendly walks in your local area.
  • Create Facebook events within the group, including key details about the walk (date, location, distance, difficulty).
  • Encourage local participation by sharing the event in the group and inviting members.
  • Welcome attendees on the day of the walk and ensure a friendly, inclusive atmosphere.
  • Share photos and highlights from the walks to inspire others to join in.

This is a flexible volunteer role - you can organise walks as often or as little as you like, depending on your availability.


We’d love to hear from you if you are:

  • A dog lover who enjoys walking and meeting new people.
  • Organised and able to coordinate group walks in your area.
  • Enthusiastic about bringing your local dog-friendly community together.
  • Comfortable promoting events in the Facebook group and engaging with members.

 

Important Considerations

  • Wag & Walk are peer-led walks, not official guided hikes. You will simply be organising a community walk rather than leading an event in any formal capacity.
  • Each attendee is responsible for themselves and their dog. Your role is to coordinate, not supervise.
  • You must clearly communicate walk details, including difficulty level and accessibility, so that attendees can make informed decisions.

 

Why Get Involved:

  • A great way to meet fellow dog lovers and explore new walking routes.
  • Contribute to building a supportive, dog-friendly community.
  • Enjoy the outdoors while helping others connect through shared experiences.
  • Have the opportunity to support animal welfare initiatives through our group activities.
