About Us:
Established in 1985, the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH) is the leading representative charity for dog and cat rescue and rehoming organisations across the UK, Ireland, Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands. ADCH promotes the safeguarding of welfare standards for dogs and cats needing new homes and supports those working and volunteering in the sector
At the heart of ADCH is a strong collaborative ethos. With over 160 member organisations, all of which are registered charities, we unite organisations of all sizes – large and small; embracing over 50,000 staff and volunteers, all dedicated to working together for Dogs and Cats. A key part of this ethos is the peer network ADCH nurtures, where members connect, exchange ideas, share knowledge and resources, and offer mutual support. Through this network, organisations are able to address common challenges, collaborate on solutions, and strengthen their collective impact on animal welfare.
Who We Are Looking For:
We are looking for an organised and proactive Administrator & Bookkeeper to join our small, collaborative team. This is a varied role at the heart of the organisation, providing pragmatic administrative support across membership services, communications, finance, governance and events.
You’ll be confident managing multiple priorities, maintaining accurate records and using a range of digital systems. From supporting our members and maintaining our CRM to producing communications, updating website content and assisting with day-to-day bookkeeping, you’ll play an important role in helping ADCH deliver an efficient and professional service.
As part of a small team, you’ll need to be adaptable, self-motivated and happy to take ownership of your work while supporting colleagues across a wide range of activities. You’ll be equally comfortable working independently from home and collaborating with the team, with travel across the UK and occasional overnight stays required.
