Volunteer positions
Adoption and administration volunteer
Palmerston North Centre
If you would like to help the animals but don’t want to play a hand-on role, becoming an administration volunteer might be for you.
We are looking for people who can help us out with basic administration support, calling supporters to assist with adoptions, administration, update address details, printing, stuffing envelopes for mailouts.
Tasks may include:
- Greeting customers coming in the door
- Explaining the adoption process to potential adoptees
- Showing members of the public through the adoption units
- Collecting animals from the adoption units
- Putting together adoption packs
- Taking and sorting donations
- Tidying the retail space and storeroom
- Other admin tasks our team may need.
If you have any questions, please call us on 06 357 2516 or email palmerstonnorth.info@spca.nz.
