We are asking volunteers to complete the application form with the days and times they are available so we can rota them in to help in the various work that we do.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We have had to take precautions at the GSPCA to ensure our team are safe and continue to do so inline with the States of Guernsey advice.”
“That sadly meant putting a hold on many events and activities we would normally undertake pre-covid.”
“With the Shelter so busy and the risks from covid very different we are after 18 months looking to recruit new volunteers.”
“At this time we are looking at volunteers 18 and over and asking those interested to complete an application form to start the process.”
“At this time we aren’t holding our induction evenings like we use to, instead once applications have been received we will contact each keen new volunteer to discuss what interests them and what availability they and we have to help the many animals at the Shelter and our events.”
“We have a huge array of roles and opportunities and especially keen to hear from those wanting to walk and help in our kennels whether it be for a few hours or full days each week.”
“Volunteering is an amazing experience which has so many benefits from helping the animals and our work to improving your CV, meeting new people to learning new skills.”
“For more information you can call 257261 or email me [email protected] .”
“Without our team and volunteers we couldn’t do so much for the animals of Guernsey and our community.”
"We also love to hear from those thatcan offer specific skills or their team at their group or business."
“There are many ways to get involved and to find out just a few ideas check out this link http://www.gspca.org.gg/about/how-your-business-can-help-gspca-corporate-sponsorship or as mentioned contact me [email protected] .”
"We also have casual vacancies for those looking for employment and to apply here is an application pack http://www.gspca.org.gg/sites/default/files/application_ACA_pack_Aug%202021%20.pdf ."
