Our Centre’s are working hard rescuing, caring for and rehoming animals in need.

We want our customers to know we are responsive, effective and provide accurate information and most importantly, that we care about them and their animals.

You will process animal adoptions including discussions with potential adopters to match the right animals with the right person. You will triage animal ambulance calls, schedule foster pick up and return appointments and induct our new foster parents. You will work with community stakeholders and veterinary partners, to provide a positive physical and visible presence representing the SPCA in local communities.

About You

    • Our Benefits

  • To be a part of the greater good – to have the privilege of making a difference to the welfare of animals across New Zealand
  • Consistent support and an opportunity to continue to learn
