Borders Pet Rescue is a small but vital animal welfare charity in the Scottish Borders. Our Rescue Centre at Craigsford, Earlston is run by staff and 30 volunteers. The charity also has 4 shops in Galashiels, Kelso, Hawick and Duns, which are run by dedicated teams of staff and volunteers. These shops are the main source of regular income for the charity. Demand for our services has never been higher with an increasing number of animals coming into our care. Our charity has, therefore, embarked upon a period of growth and development and this new post has been created to support the development of the charity.

Reporting to the Charity Manager, an experienced, well-motivated and organised Business Administrator is now sought to provide effective and efficient business support for a range of BPR activities covering finance, administration and IT systems.

This is a new role which is likely to evolve and may include other duties as required by the Board of Trustees, not yet specified below.
