Love being out in the community and meeting new dogs? We are looking for friendly and organised volunteers to run fun dog shows at local events, helping to raise funds for our animals.
This is a flexible role, great if you’re not able to volunteer regularly. Most events are on weekends or bank holidays over the spring and summer.
Here’s a quote from one of our recent volunteer recruits:
“I recently helped run a dog show for the first time. I was a bit nervous to begin with, but it was brilliant fun and so much easier than I thought.
You don’t need to have any judging experience, and you get to meet and play with loads of different dogs.
As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t get much better than that.
Try it and see for yourself!” – Rich
What you’ll be doing
- Working in a small team to run a fun dog show. Preparing for the event and driving to the venue in our van.
- Setting up the ring, registering dogs, judging classes and chatting to people about our work.
What you’ll need
- Comfortable being around all kinds of dogs and reading their behaviour
- Confident and engaging, able to announce to groups and talk to people individually
- Good level of fitness and mobility, happy being on your feet for long periods
What’s in it for you
- An induction, ongoing support, and full training
- An opportunity to meet new people (and dogs!), and be a part of the community
- Gain experience, learn new skills, and make a difference to animals
- A reference for studying or employment
