Our vision for volunteeringVolunteering is and always will be at the heart of Cats Protection. It is joyful and inclusive. As a charity, working in partnership, together we transform the lives of cats, people and communities.The difference you will make to cats and peopleWithout the passionate and committed teams of volunteers across Cats Protection we wouldn’t be able to help the thousands of cats and kittens each year that rely on us for help. Life in a rescue environment is never ideal for any cat compared to a loving home. Our cat adoption team leaders support cat homing and as part of this they may lead a team of volunteer home visitors who collectively play an important part in matching our feline friends with their new families. Our cat adoption team leaders support their team of volunteers in all aspects of their roles, making sure our volunteers are happy, confident and supported.You can expect us toMake you feel welcome, included and respected in line with our values and behavioursSupport you in having a positive and impactful experience at Cats ProtectionCover agreed out-of-pocket expenses in line with our Expenses PolicyProvide you with access to learning, development and engagement opportunitiesWhat we need from youYou’ll be:Acting as the main point of contact within the team for cat adoption enquiries via email/telephone and social mediaSupporting the adoption process through either homefinder questionnaires or a small team of home visitorsLiaising closely with other volunteers to ensure information on cats being helped is correct and up to dateFollowing up on any post-adoption queriesPlay an active part in the volunteer committee, being part of the team leading on cat adoption information and updatesCollaborating with the cat welfare team leader to ensure the highest standards of cat care are applied in line with Cats Protection policy and proceduresTime expectationThe cat adoption team leader role is vital within our busy volunteer teams.
