We have an exciting new strategy with the ambition to transform the way we work to ensure every dog lives life to the full. We want to be there to help even more dogs and their owners, but at the heart of what we do is our commitment to never put a healthy dog to sleep and that together we never have to let any dog down..

The Customer Support Centre also receives calls for several dedicated hotlines in the organisation along with making outbound post adoption support calls. The role will involve delivering exceptional customer service on every interaction for all sorts of queries coming into the organisation.
