Our media support volunteers use their excellent eye and knowledge of film and photography to capture the character and cuteness of our four-legged residents.  

What will you be doing? 

  • Taking stunning shots and engaging videos that showcase the charm of our canine companions – we’ll provide the camera equipment 
  • Editing and polishing up existing photos and videos of our dogs 
  • Creating and developing on-brand campaigns to promote our dogs, especially our long-term residents 

We’re looking for someone with:

  • Experience of animal photography 
  • A creative spark for developing new promotional ideas 
  • A love of dogs, passion for their welfare and experience handling them 
  • A patient and calm approach to working with dogs (some of our canine residents can be a little nervous around new people!) 
  • Excellent interpersonal skills 
  • Ability to work comfortably in a close-knit team or alone 
  • Conscientious with a can-do attitude 

What this role will offer you: 

We will provide you with a main contact who will manage your tasks, answer any questions you might have and help you with the volunteer rota. You’ll also receive ongoing role-specific training, guidance and support as well as an opportunity to gain and develop new skills.

We will provide a Dogs trust volunteer uniform, and will recognise the work you are kindly undertaking by enrolling you in our Volunteer Merits Scheme.
