Public Affairs Coordinator

We are seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented Public Affairs Assistant to support our team in ensuring policy makers consider dog welfare in their decision making.

• Administrative Support: Maintain engagement spreadsheets, collate and submit returns to political registers, and assist the team with expense claims.
• Meeting and Event Support: Book meeting rooms, draft agendas, and take minutes for internal and external meetings.
• Messaging and Reporting: Contribute to membership newsletters and analyze reporting information to provide insight into the team's work.
• Travel and Logistics: Organize travel and materials required by the team.

This role requires the ability to remain calm under pressure, with a flexible but methodical approach and the ability to change direction quickly and prioritize tasks accordingly. You will work as part of a team, but also be able to work unsupervised and use your own initiative as appropriate. An interest and commitment to the aims of Dogs Trust is essential, and you must be comfortable around dogs.

We are a leading dog welfare charity, dedicated to helping dogs in need and supporting owners every step of the way. Our mission is to create a better world for dogs, and we work tirelessly to achieve this goal. As a Public Affairs Assistant, you will play a critical role in supporting our team in achieving this mission.

The Public Affairs Team works across Westminster, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the EU to ensure the health and welfare of dogs is always taken into consideration by policy makers. We are a dynamic and dedicated team, and we are looking for someone who shares our passion for dog welfare and our commitment to making a difference.
