On any given day, we can be looking after 150+ animals, each one getting the love, attention and rehabilitation they deserve.
Working hours: 35 hours per week on a shift basis between 08:30 – 17:00, including weekends and Bank Holidays. The contract will end in June 2027.
Location: Southridge Animal Centre, Packhorse Lane, Potters Bar, EN6 3LZ
This is an incredibly exciting to join the team at Southridge with it being one of the RSPCA's largest centres caring for a significant number of dogs, cats and small animals along with taking a lead in holding and rehoming our farm animals in need of rehabilitation and rehoming.
