Our Rehoming Support Advisors, volunteering from their own home, will be our point of contact for rabbit owners who find themselves in a position where they need help to rehome their rabbits. Owners have varied needs and reasons for rehoming, and our Rehoming Support Team will provide a wide range of options to ensure that owners can confidently and safely consider options that best meet their needs, and of course ensure the ongoing rabbit welfare needs are met too. As a team member, you will be responsible for contacting owners through email, telephone and/or social media channels to discuss their rehoming requirements and manage their "case" until we have successfully secured the rabbits' needs. In some cases, this may be advising owners or ways that may be able to make adjustments to allow the rabbits to stay at home - whether that's through bonding advice, housing advice or signposting to appropriate health and behaviours services. In other cases, it will support the owners through our various rehoming options and keep them updated until a successful alternative home has been identified. Full training and support will be given, including regular team catch-ups via online and face-to-face meetings. We are looking for individuals who can spare approx. 5-7 hours per week, which can easily and flexibly be fitted around any other work or family commitments. Volunteers will be required to have access to their own computer/laptop to access online services and software needed to support the activity. Ongoing Support You will report directly to one of the charity's volunteer managers, as well as regularly contact with our charity director. You will also be invited to regular team meetings for important updates and training on an ongoing basis. As with all our volunteers, you will also be invited to our volunteer collaboration system online to engage and chat about your role and rabbit welfare with the whole team.
