Join our small, friendly office team and help make a difference to rescued animals.
Due to being short-staffed in our office, we’re looking for a friendly, organised and proactive Temp Office Assistant who is available to start immediately.
This is a varied and rewarding role at the heart of Hopefield Animal Sanctuary. You’ll help keep our day-to-day operations running smoothly, support our visitors and supporters, and assist with important campaigns, events and administration- all of which directly contribute to the care of our rescued animals.

What you’ll be doing:
- Managing bookings and enquiries for Hopefield Boarding for Small Animals
- Preparing and sending animal sponsorship packs and supporter mail-outs
- Helping to manage stock for our gift shop
- Managing administration for our Save a Life Campaign
- Responding to visitor enquiries and sending booking confirmations
- Carrying out general office duties, including filing, data entry and communications
- Supporting the planning, administration and promotion of sanctuary events and fundraisers
- Helping the wider team with other day-to-day tasks when needed
We’d love to hear from you if you are:
- Available to start immediately
- Happy and able to work every Saturday and Sunday, plus three weekdays
- Friendly, approachable and confident communicating with the public
- Organised, reliable and hardworking
- Comfortable managing several tasks in a busy environment
- Self-motivated, proactive and willing to get stuck in
- Confident using computers and social media platforms
- Experienced in administration or a similar office-based role
- Passionate about animal welfare and supportive of Hopefield’s values
