Capital Campaign Lead

The Role

The York Animal Home was built in 1980 and no longer meets modern welfare, licensing or operational requirements. Demand for our services is rising sharply, while the complexity and scale of cases continues to grow. We are at the point where our current animal facilities do meet our needs and have been working to redevelop the site and build new modern facilities. We have received planning permission and are in the process of finalising the designs prior to construction beginning this year.
