About the Scottish SPCA
As Scotland’s animal welfare charity, we have been on-hand to protect animals and prevent cruelty since 1839 – that’s over 184 years of creating a better world for all animals. We’ve grown to become a national charity which celebrates the strength of the human-animal bond and enriches the lives of animals and people. We are Scotland’s animal champions.
What does an Assistant Manager do?
Our Assistant Managers work alongside the Centre Manager providing a professional management team at the centre, welcoming visitors to the centre, succession planning and staff and volunteer training and development.
Working with many different types of animals, no day will ever look the same.
The role also requires wide-ranging animal care including feeding, grooming and exercising the animals, clearing out their accommodation and ensuring each animal gets the appropriate exercise and socialisation they need for rehoming. The Assistant Manager will also provide management cover for the Centre Manager as required with duties such as daily banking, purchasing supplies & recruitment support.
Many of the animals in our care also need routine health checks completed including administering relevant medicines, and this is the role of the Assistant Manager to provide this action when required.
