Are you passionate about dog welfare and building supportive communities?
We’re looking for a Fostering Coordinator to play a vital role in helping dogs thrive outside the kennel environment, by recruiting and supporting volunteer foster carers.
What does this role do?
As Fostering Coordinator, you will:
identify and place suitable dogs into foster care, including temporary placements for long-stay dogs needing respite from kennels, and carry out necessary intake assessments,
recruit, assess, and induct new foster carers, promoting the scheme through events, conversations, and collaboration with colleagues across Dogs Trust,
support foster carers with regular check-ins, arrange veterinary appointments, and provide access to behaviour or training support when needed,
deliver training to foster carers, either one-to-one or through organised group sessions,
promote dogs in foster or Home Stay settings by preparing profiles, contacting potential adopters, organising matching meetings, and completing all adoption paperwork.
Could this be you?
To be successful in this role, you’ll understand the importance of fostering, and the positive impact it can have on a dogs journey to their forever home. With experience of working with volunteers, you will have excellent communication and organisational skills, and ability to support fosterers as they provide temporary care to our dogs. You’ll need some dog handling experience, as well as excellent customer service skills.
