The Scottish SPCA, Scotland’s animal welfare charity, is seeking to recruit an Education Officer/Animal Rescue Officer covering Inverness and the surrounding areas.

This is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of the thousands of abused, abandoned and injured animals rescued by the Scottish SPCA each year.

The successful applicant will have practical experience of working with animals, a keen interest in animal welfare and excellent customer care skills. You will also need a full UK manual driving licence.

The role will require you to conduct educational duties, and will involve visiting schools, and other community bodies, on a daily basis throughout the school year. Thus part of this job is termed as a “childcare” position, which will require you to join the Disclosure Scotland PVG Scheme.
