Are you a passionate and experienced operations leader with a commitment to animal welfare? This is a unique opportunity to join our senior leadership team as the Head of Rehoming and Foster Service Operations and make a real difference in the lives of animals.

More about the role

As our Head of Rehoming and Fostering Service Operations, you'll oversee our national network of 12 rehoming facilities and foster services, managing a dedicated team committed to finding loving homes for pets in need. This is your opportunity to lead, innovate, and drive continuous improvement in our crucial services.
 
In 2023, we helped nearly 6,000 pets find loving homes, but thousands more need our help. That’s why we’ve invested £1 million in our Rehoming and Fostering directorate, with the ambitious goal of rehoming over 10,000 pets annually by 2026. In this pivotal leadership role, you'll witness the impact of your efforts every day, knowing you're directly improving the lives of animals.
 
You'll collaborate with a supportive senior leadership team and receive ongoing professional development to refine your skills. This role allows you to thrive in a positive work culture where you can build strong relationships with colleagues and drive our mission forward.
 
What You’ll Be Doing

At Blue Cross, we understand a fulfilling career matters. We offer the chance to play a key role in animal welfare by leading innovative rehoming and fostering services. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Leading our national network of rehoming facilities and fostering services, managing a team of Operations Managers.
  • Championing collaboration within the Rehoming and Fostering leadership team, ensuring smooth transitions for new services across our centres.
  • Driving continuous improvement in operational practices, focusing on efficiency, income generation, and cost management.
  • Building and maintaining a strong reputation for Blue Cross rehoming and fostering services.
  • Developing and analysing data to benchmark practices and demonstrate their effectiveness.
  • Fostering a healthy and positive culture within the Rehoming and Fostering team.
  • Contributing to the wider Blue Cross leadership team with a collaborative spirit and willingness to share expertise.
  • Networking with key stakeholders to foster collaboration and support for our rehoming and fostering initiatives, both internally and externally.

Want to know more? We've attached a detailed job description that outlines the role and responsibilities in greater depth.
 
About You

You will be a passionate leader who can navigate complexity with ease. While extensive experience within the animal welfare sector remains important, the primary focus for this role is on operational leadership with a strong emphasis on collaboration and inclusivity. 

Your experience in the animal welfare sector, ideally multispecies, will be invaluable. You'll leverage your proven track record to optimise operational efficiency and effectiveness. 

You'll foster a collaborative and supportive environment, empowering your team members to reach their full potential. This aligns perfectly with your experience as a sector leader, influencing and delivering strategic initiatives. 

Open communication is key, and you excel at using data analysis to make informed decisions that benefit both the team and the organisation.

Building strong relationships comes naturally to you. You'll create a positive and inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels valued and heard. You're a skilled communicator who inspires and motivates your team, fostering a sense of ownership and accountability. Your strong networking skills will be essential in fostering collaboration with key stakeholders in support of our rehoming and fostering initiatives. 

Your experience in performance improvement management and delivering animal welfare services within a complex organisation will be instrumental in achieving this.

In essence, you're a change champion with a passion for animal welfare who thrives on building and nurturing a high-performing team.

To effectively fulfil this role, you will be required to travel to various sites. A full driving license is therefore essential.

Desirable Animal Welfare Experience

  • Animal welfare qualification 
  • Leadership/lean qualification or equivalent experience 
  • Leading in a commercial environment, delivering sustainable services or profit-making services
  • Working in cross sector animal welfare working groups and forums 
  • Media and public speaking

  • Managing multi-million-pound operational budgets
