A bit about this role

At Cats Protection we passionately believe that neutering cats before they can breed is an essential part of cat ownership, and without neutering the UK’s cat population would quickly get out of control. Our neutering volunteers help spread positive neutering messages and make it easier for owners on low incomes to get their cats neutered. They help raise awareness of the benefits of neutering, promote our neutering schemes and respond to enquiries from members of the public.

What can you expect to be doing?

Promoting the benefits of neutering and our neutering schemes
Responding to enquiries about neutering
Completing relevant neutering paperwork and distributing neutering vouchers
Following up with cat owners to make sure that vouchers are used
Ensuring all cats and kittens are neutered in line with Cats Protection policies and procedures

A bit more information about this role and the team

Come and join our passionate, friendly and dedicated team here in Macclesfield, as a neutering volunteer! This volunteering opportunity is a key role within our branch, ensuring the distribution of our neutering vouchers in line with our branch processes.

Our neutering vouchers can be in incredibly high demand and so volunteers moving into this role usually spend a minimum of 2 hours per week within the role. This is likely to be spread across the week to ensure we respond to enquiries in a timely manner.

A volunteer moving into this role would need access to a computer/laptop at home and have experience of office 365. Full training will be given and the successful volunteer would have a brilliant support network both locally within the branch and regionally from the wider team.

Helping with our voucher scheme typically involves ensuring owners coming forward to access the scheme are eligible for support and if so, writing out their vouchers ready for distribution.

What are the benefits to you and the cats?

You will develop new skills, expand your knowledge and make a significant contribution to improving the lives of cats and kittens by promoting our neutering scheme. You will also meet new people, make new friends and be part of a dedicated team of volunteers.

We’re looking for someone with

Interpersonal and communication skills
Good record keeping and administration skills
Good organisational skills
Willingness to be part of a team

Time expectation

Our neutering volunteers usually spend between two to four hours a week in this role, which is flexible and can be shared by more than one volunteer if needed.

Support, guidance and keeping you safe

At Cats Protection we believe our volunteers should be happy and confident in their roles. We provide support and guidance from our National Cat Centre and through our regional and local volunteer groups and teams. We offer engaging online and face-to-face training, expenses and have policies and processes to help volunteers get the most out of their time with us.

The wellbeing of our people is important and at Cats Protection we are committed to safeguarding children, adults at risk and all those that we come into contact with as part of our activities.
