Do you love animals and people? You can make a difference by recruiting, mobilising, and supporting our volunteers to rescue and rehome the vulnerable animals of the Hunter.
About Hunter Animal Rescue
Hunter Animal Rescue (HAR) is a not-for-profit organisation run by volunteers who dedicate their time to finding new homes for abandoned pets facing euthanasia in the greater Hunter Region. We don’t have a shelter – our rescue cats and dogs stay with foster carers for the best quality of life and to help with adjustment to home living. We rehome over 700 animals every year, and we are advocates for responsible pet ownership including mandatory companion animal vaccination and desexing.
About the Volunteer Coordinator role
In this long term volunteer role you’ll tee up existing volunteers to transport animals into care from pounds or between carers. Being a Volunteer Outreach Champion, you’ll take the lead on recruiting and welcoming new volunteers to the HAR family throughout the year. You’ll also work closely with the Event Coordinator to organise HAR volunteers for events like our annual Picnic Day, Kitten Adoption Days, and Bunnings BBQs.
While you’ll have individual duties in this role, volunteering with HAR is a team effort so you’ll always have help nearby if you need it. You’ll have the opportunity to learn new skills, make lasting organisational change, and see the impact of your contribution with each animal adopted into a loving forever home.
