Overview of the Branch Trustee - HR & Employee Relations
As a HR & Employee Relations expert you would be supporting the branch by helping them maintain and develop staff throughout the organisation. You would play a key role in advising Trustees on the long-term and strategic direction of human resources and contributing towards policy setting.
Founded in 1824 we have been saving animals for almost 200 years and are proud to be the oldest welfare charity around. It has always been our vision to live in a world where all animals are respected and treated with compassion, so our volunteers and employees work tirelessly to ensure that all animals can live free from pain and suffering.
Through our numerous campaigns, we seek to raise standards of care, and awareness of issues, affecting animals today. We rely heavily on our volunteers who play a significant role in enabling us to carry out this important animal welfare work every day
The Finchley, Golders Green, Hendon & District Branch is one of the branches of RSPCA, but we are also a separately registered charity looking after animals in our local area. Much of the animal welfare work of RSPCA is carried out through local branches, which is run by volunteers who have the support of the National Society of RSPCA.
The branch runs a veterinary clinic, employs an Animal Welfare Officers and operates two charity shops to generate income.
Primary responsibilities of the Branch Trustee – HR & Employee Relations

We are committed to creating a Board which is representative of our society and in particular, our community and surrounding areas so encourage people from any background to apply for any of our opportunities.
Alongside Human Resources experience, including a CIPD membership, we are looking for someone who is committed to the RSPCA’s charitable objectives and shares our passion for animal welfare. You would be creative, innovative, bring a fresh perspective, and can put ideas into action.
What we can offer you as a volunteer Branch Trustee – HR & Employee Relations
We will provide you with a comprehensive trustee training course which will provide you will everything you need to carry out the role.
Ongoing support is also provided by regional and national RSPCA staff in addition to any additional training provided by the relevant branch.
The platform to utilise your skills and experience to oversee the charity and make decisions that have a direct impact on local animal welfare.
The opportunity to gain new skills and develop existing ones, whilst making a real difference to the lives of animals.
A way to expand your professional and personal network through working with like-minded people.
