StreetVet is a multi-award winning charity delivering free essential veterinary care and services to the pets of people experiencing homelessness in multiple locations around the UK. Our volunteers provide a vital role in helping us to deliver our support. We are starting a new outreach location in Torquay, could you help?
What does the role involve? The Outreach Support Volunteer role varies for each outreach clinic location. Most locations have more then one support volunteer who each look after specific tasks. Here are some examples of what the role may involve:
Administrative:
- Monitoring the location email inbox
- Ensuring all internal communication is shared to other volunteers
- Assisting with the onboarding of new volunteers
- Adding clinical notes on StreetVet’s PMS
- Helping to organise vet appointments with the Central Clinical team
- Chasing patient’s clinical histories
- Ordering supplies and equipment
- Liaising with the outreach team to provide the Central team with social media content
- Managing the outreach location’s Amazon Wishlist
- Ensuring outreaches have enough volunteers signed up to attend each outreach
- Practical: Supporting with managing stock and undertaking stocktakes
- Keeping the StreetVet outreach backpack fully stocked
- Organising pet food deliveries
- Placing orders with Pets at Home
StreetVet are looking to find volunteers that are able to sign up on a longer term basis. This enables you to get to know our patients and built up trust with their owners. We ask that all support volunteers commit to 2 hours of volunteering a minimum of once every 3 months. Ideally, our support volunteers would be able to volunteer on a monthly basis. We are looking for people who enjoy team work, collaboration and are good communicators with strong organisational skills, compassion and empathy. If you think you match this description, we'd love to hear from you.
