More than just a job

Life at the RSPCA is about more than a job. It’s about using your skills to protect animals, support people, and be part of an organisation driven by compassion, professionalism and purpose.

Making a difference

The charity sector attracts people who care deeply about creating positive change, and the RSPCA is no exception. Our team is driven by compassion, integrity and a strong sense of responsibility to animals and society.

Whether working directly with animals or supporting the organisation behind the scenes, everyone plays a vital role in protecting animals from harm, improving welfare standards and helping to prevent cruelty before it happens. The work can be challenging, but it is also deeply rewarding. You will truly get to see the real-world impact of your expertise.

An organisation working across England and Wales with local impact

The RSPCA operates across England and Wales, with a network of animal centres, hospitals and community-based branches. This wide reach allows us to respond where animals need us most, while remaining closely connected to local communities.

From urban centres to more rural locations, our workplaces reflect the breadth of our mission - combining professional environments with a strong sense of shared purpose.

Working with animals and for animals

For many roles, working at the RSPCA means being close to animals who rely on us for care, protection and advocacy. From rescue and rehabilitation to veterinary care and rehoming, our teams work tirelessly to give animals a second chance.

For others, the impact is less visible but just as vital. Our corporate, digital, policy, finance, fundraising and leadership teams ensure the charity remains effective, sustainable and influential. This collaborative spirit enables our frontline work to thrive.

Working with committed, values-driven people

Life at the RSPCA is shaped by the people who work here. You’ll find teams who support one another, share knowledge and are proud to be part of an organisation with such a long and respected history.

We value professionalism, diversity and inclusion. We are committed to creating a respectful working environment where people feel empowered to do their best work. Many colleagues stay with the RSPCA for years, drawn by the opportunity to grow, develop and contribute to a cause they truly believe in.

Supporting our people

We recognise the dedication our people bring to their roles and offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support wellbeing, development and work–life balance.

Most importantly, we offer the opportunity to build a career with meaning - where your skills, experience and ideas help shape a kinder future for animals.
