Purrfessional Cat Whisperer

Be the hero our cats deserve: pat them, play with them and show them how to trust again while they look for their furever homes. The only skills needed to be a Purrfessional Cat Whisperer are patience, understanding and the ability to hit that perfect spot behind the ears 😻

This role involves social interaction and planned enrichment time with cats, preparing of enrichment tools, cleaning equipment and condos and maintaining a high standard of hygiene and infection control.

Please note, we are currently at capacity for this role and are not currently taking applications.


Pawfessional Pooch Playmate

Pawfessional Pooch Playmates distribute treats, play with toys and ensure the dogs get their daily exercise and enrichment. The main 'key pawformance indicator' for this role is daily tail wags. Keep them above 50 wags per day and we won't have any problems 🐶

This role involves providing dogs with social interaction, mental and physical enrichment and playtime according to their individual exercise plans, observing and responding to dog body language, the use of positive reinforcement to encourage appropriate behaviours and maintaining a high level of hygiene and infection control.

Please note, we are currently at capacity for this role and are not currently taking applications.

Foster Care and Rescue Group Suppawt Volunteer

Our pawsome Foster Care team despurrately needs someone to help them clean and keep track of supplies, put together foster care packs, maintain storage areas and provide general suppawt to our amazing foster carers!

Please note, we are currently at capacity for this role. Your application will be added to a waitlist and our team will contact you as soon as we have space.

Business Purrtner - Laundry and Manchester

Our dogs, cats and rabbits always need people to wash their bedding because they're far too impawtant to do it themselves. They have extremely high expectations when it comes to the cleanliness of their bedding, so they've requested that we ask you the following question: have you ever done laundry? If the answer is yes, you're qualified!

This role involves collecting and washing food dishes, litter trays, toys and bedding, maintaining and cleaning enrichment tools and food preparation areas, and maintaining a high standard of hygiene and infection control.

Apply now!


Gardening Meownager

Do you have a green paw? Use your skills and knowledge to help keep our gardens neat and tidy! We tried to enlist the dogs to help with this one, but all they wanted to do was dig holes 🤷‍♂️

This role involves weeding and spraying of gardens, assisting with planting and trimming trees and shrubs, unsupervised gardening work, cleaning outside areas of leafy debris, and assisting with outdoor preventative maintenance.

Apply now!


Pawfessional Concierge

Here at AWL, we have an amazing group of compassionate suppawters who make it their mission to save the lives of animals in need. When they visit us, we love engaging with them and making sure they know how their suppawt helps animals - that's where you come in!

This role involves greeting customers, helping with their enquiries, engaging customers in the waiting area, cleaning and tidying customer facing areas, assisting with adoptions, providing water for any visiting animals.
