Our vision for volunteering
Volunteering is and always will be at the heart of Cats Protection. It is joyful and inclusive. As a charity, working in partnership, together we transform the lives of cats, people and communities.
The difference you will make to cats and people
Without the passionate and committed teams of volunteers across Cats Protection we wouldn’t be able to help the thousands of cats and kittens each year that rely on us for help. The purpose of this role is to support the organisation with communications and administration at a local level. You’ll play an active part in the branch committee and support the branch with record keeping and planning, thus enabling more cats to be helped.

· Make you feel welcome, included and respected in line with our values and behaviours
· Support you in having a positive and impactful experience at Cats Protection
· Cover agreed out-of-pocket expenses in line with our Expenses Policy
· Provide you with access to learning, development and engagement opportunities
What we need from you
You’ll be:
· Disseminating relevant organisation-wide information and updates to the branch volunteers
· Supporting engagement and communication between the branch and wider organisation
· Drafting committee meeting agendas and taking and sharing meeting minutes
· Supporting the efficient running of the branch by ensuring administration processes are carried out effectively
· Supporting the administration and update of the branch annual plan
· Sign-posting queries from members of the public
· Keeping branch records and information up to date and secure, using Cats Protection systems – training will be provided
· Optional bullet point for extra information – please delete if not required
Time expectation
Our support volunteers usually spend 2-5 hours per week in this role, which is flexible and can be shared by more than one volunteer if needed.
You may be just the volunteer we’ve been looking for!
