Established almost 60 years ago, Margaret Green Animal Rescue rescues and rehomes a diverse number of animals each year from its 3 centres (2 located in Dorset and 1 in Devon), including 250 cats and 350 dogs, as well as equines, field animals and small companion animals.

As part of our vision to help more animals and people over the next 10 years, we want to provide extensive knowledge, skills, and experience, both internally and to the communities into which we rehome our animals.

Dogs and cats will be the main focus for this role, but input with other species, when appropriate, will also be relevant to increase our behaviour expertise across the charity.

You will raise the bar even higher alongside our skilled Animal Rescue Carers (ARCs), in providing support through in-house training, evaluation and thought leadership. This is an exciting time for MGAR, as we seek to increase our reach and impact throughout Dorset and Devon.

The position will be pivotal and enable a suitably qualified and ambitious Animal Behaviourist to make a real difference to the way we care for animals, both in our centres and our wider communities.

This new role will suit someone who is confident in their abilities and thrives on improving the human-animal bond, and wants to shout loudly & proudly about it!

As Clinical Animal Behavourist, you would report to the Operations Manager within the Animal Care Department, based at MGAR HQ, which is located in the village of Church Knowle, Dorset.

This is a full-time, hybrid role, with home-working available and weekend availability required, at 37.5 hours per week.

Salary: £30,000 – £35,000, depending on experience.

Do you love being at the heart of the charity retail community? Are you a real ‘people person,’ who also has an artistic flair for creativity? If so, then we may just have the perfect role for you!

In December, we were very proud to have opened our first ever Wareham charity shop, right in the heart of the community in this beautiful & historic town.

By having such a great shop, in a fantastic location, our aim is to raise funds for the rescue animals who need us, and to promote our work to wonderful, local supporters.

We are now on the lookout for a positive team member, who is experienced in Retail and has a real passion for showcasing new and pre-loved items in an inviting way.

Our ideal candidate would also have knowledge of managing and / or being a volunteer, and recognise the importance and value of nurturing this relationship.

This person does not necessarily need to have direct charity retail experience, although this would be an advantage, but a love of animals is a real must, as all of our 7 charity shops are proud to be very dog-friendly.
