Scotland's only all-animal rescue service
185+ years of protecting animals
Purpose-driven work
Real community impact
A place where you can make a real difference.
The Scottish SPCA is more than an animal welfare charity, it’s a values-driven organisation with a clear purpose: to make Scotland the best place in the world for an animal to call home. With a legacy spanning over 185 years, we are constantly evolving to meet the needs of both people and animals in modern Scotland.
What sets us apart.
Our supportive and collaborative culture, where every colleague plays a part in delivering real, tangible impact. Our ambitious 10-year vision shows we’re planning for a sustainable and compassionate future. We offer the chance to be part of an organisation that doesn’t just react to problems, but proactively seeks to create lasting change within communities across Scotland.
Build your muscles. Then flex them.
We're a national charity with a serious mission, and we invest in the people who carry it out. Whether you're starting out in animal care or stepping into a leadership role, we're committed to giving you the skills, knowledge and confidence to grow. We support professional development through training, hands-on experience and the kind of exposure that comes from working across one of Scotland's most varied and complex animal welfare organisations.
What’s in it for you?
We offer 31 days of annual leave, increasing to 38 with service, along with two wellbeing days each year and a day off to celebrate your birthday. Our package also includes company sick pay and enhanced family leave policies to support you during life’s important moments.
Our team benefits from a life assurance scheme worth four times your basic salary, as well as access to Medicash, which includes an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) and cover for up to four dependent children. We also contribute to your financial future through a company pension scheme.
We also support a healthy and balanced lifestyle with retail and gym membership discounts and in some locations, you can even bring your dog to work. We also invest in your professional growth through on-the-job training and development opportunities.
