Looking to make a real difference to the lives of dogs and people?

As a Rehoming Coordinator at Dogs Trust, you'll play a key role in finding loving homes for our dogs, supporting adopters and helping reduce the time dogs spend in our care.

• Champion the rehoming journey by providing excellent customer service, matching dogs to adopters, and arranging safe introductions, including occasional home visits.
• Maintain oversight of dog status across kennels, foster and home‑stay sites, responding to enquiries and proactively seeking rehoming opportunities.
• Promote dogs ready for adoption by creating engaging online profiles and images, working closely with the Media Coordinator.
• Support the rehoming of long‑term and complex dogs by liaising with the Behaviour and Welfare teams to communicate specific needs.
• Welcome and assist visitors during public opening hours, complete adoption paperwork, and contribute to kennel care as part of the wider team.

Our ideal candidate has experience working in a rehoming environment, excellent customer service and communication skills, and the ability to match dogs with suitable adopters. Knowledgeable about dogs and their welfare, strong organisational and time‑management skills, and the capacity to juggle multiple priorities are essential.

We love dogs. That’s why we do whatever we can to make sure every four‑legged friend gets the love they deserve. We’ll never put a healthy dog down, so our work is focused on helping dogs in need, supporting owners every step of the walk, and creating a better world for dogs in the future. It’s what we’ve been doing since 1891 and how we’ve grown to become the UK’s leading dog charity, helping 12,000 loyal friends find their forever homes every year.

Dogs Trust values diversity and is committed to fostering an inclusive culture. We actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, abilities, and cultures. Our colleague networks give our people a voice, acting as vehicles for real and meaningful change.
