Volunteer Area-Rehoming Co-ordinators (VACs)
Our VACs are at the forefront of the charity. They are at the receiving end of calls from the public who wish to surrender their pugs to the PDWRA. VACs guide and counsel them through the process and ultimately oversee the rehoming of their surrendered pug.
The positions are held across the UK and support is always needed to take in more needy pugs.
You will be dedicated to a specified area of the country, working remotely, coordinating all activities and other volunteers, required to support the rehoming of surrendered pugs from your area.
This includes:
- Being available to receive or return calls as a matter of urgency, to advise and reassure the public surrendering their pugs
- Managing adoption, foster and volunteer applications for your region, providing support once onboard
- Working with all other resources within PDWRA according to PDWRA guidelines and legal requirements
- Organising the demands of the role, with commitment, responsibility and flexibility
- Helping to promote pug rescue work and achievements of the PDWRA
A demanding, yet highly rewarding role where full training and support will be given
Reviews, will ensure you will be confident and knowledgeable to perform this vital role.
Most work is carried out remotely, so you do not have to live in the region that you will be managing.
If you feel you have the skills and the time to contribute to rehoming pugs in need in this way, please email: secretary@nullpugwelfare-rescue.org.uk
Full Job Descriptions & Application Forms will be sent for all of the Vacancies above. Thank You!
