• Are you a passionate and experienced people manager with a love for animals? Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where your management skills can truly make a difference?

  We are seeking a professional and experienced Team Leader to join our Dog Team, responsible for the care and support of around 50 on-site dogs and a smaller number in foster homes for a 9 month fixed term contract.

  As a Team Leader, Dogs you will oversee the entire pet journey from admission to rehoming whilst also having a specific area of focus and specialism. You will supervise day-to-day operations as point of contact whilst ensuring adherence to relevant policies, procedures, risk and safety assessments. Through a clear understanding of the pet's journey, you will focus on maximising throughput, resolving issues, and collaborating across departments.

  As someone with strong problem-solving and coaching skills you will inspire and develop the team, managing and motivating your direct reports and the wider team to deliver on departmental goals. This will include working alongside other Team Leaders with recruitment, development and performance management to build a positive team culture.

  This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with the right skills to make a significant impact in helping pets in need; last year Woodgreen provided safe shelter, specialist care, and a brighter future for hundreds of dogs.

  This is a full time, 9 month fixed term contract opportunity. In return you will receive a salary of £28,873 per annum which will be complemented by;

  • Pro rata equivalent of 36 days annual leave per year (inclusive of bank holidays)
  • Up to 8% employer pension contributions
  • Support towards healthcare costs (cashplan)
  • Employee wellbeing package to include free access to Headspace
  • Life assurance (4x salary)
  • Benefits hub – exclusive discounts on popular brands
  • 25% discount in our charity shops

  Please note that you will need to have existing Right to Work in the UK to apply for this opportunity as we are unable to provide visa sponsorship.

  Woodgreen is committed to making our recruitment processes accessible to all and, as part of this, we are flexible in the ways we give and receive information. If you would like to apply using a different format, please contact the Recruitment Team and we will do our best to put any reasonable adjustments in place.

  Early application is encouraged as this position may close sooner than the stated deadline if a suitable candidate is found. Interviews may commence prior to the closing date.

  Woodgreen is committed to safeguarding children and adults at risk and protecting anyone that comes into contact with us from harm. We expect all employees and volunteers to share this commitment.
