Assistant Manager – Client Servicesto help lead our work supporting people and pets across our Manchester rehoming, advice and behaviour unit. If you have a flair for client care and a love of animal welfare, this is your chance to make a real difference.More about the role
Our Radcliffe-based centre is at the heart of Blue Cross’s work in Greater Manchester, providing vital services in a creative, community-focused way. We don’t have kennels or catteries on site, so we think differently to help pets and their people, from running a busy food bank to delivering rehoming and support services for a variety of animals.
As Assistant Manager – Client Services, you’ll be at the forefront of this work. You’ll:
- Lead the client services team to deliver exceptional care from first enquiry through to adoption or other support
- Work closely with the team to assess and admit pets, match them with the right adopters, and guide clients through every step of their journey
- Use data and insights to shape services and continuously improve client experience
- Collaborate with the local leadership team to meet targets and drive pet welfare outcomes
- Be hands-on with day-to-day operations including managing enquiries, prioritising admissions and promoting pets in our care
This is a permanent, full-time role, working full time at 37.5 hours per week on a rota that includes 1 in 3 weekends and bank holidays. The working day is from 8.30am to 5.00pm.
About you
You understand what it takes to match pets with new homes and are passionate about delivering an outstanding client experience. With a sharp eye for detail and a drive for improvement, you know how to assess what’s working – and what’s not.
A natural leader, you bring out the best in your team, supporting and coaching them to grow. You're calm under pressure, thrive in busy environments, and communicate clearly with people from all walks of life.
Your resilience and empathy shine through in emotional situations, helping you build trust, handle challenges with care, and create a compassionate, high-performing team.
Knowledge, skills, and experience
- Experience of working in a rescue welfare environment.
- Significant experience of managing a team.
- Experience in delivering high level client service.
- Experience of working in a fast-paced environment.
- High standard of verbal and written communication.
- Proven decision-making ability.
- Current full driving licence.
- The ability to demonstrate, understand and apply our Blue Cross Values
It would be great (but not essential) if you also had:
- Performance management and improvement experience.
- Understanding of safeguarding issues.
- Experience of admission and adoption processes in a rescue environment.
