We're looking for an Employee Experience Advisor to play a key role in creating a culture where colleagues and volunteers feel valued, supported, and empowered to make a difference.

This is more than a HR role - it's an opportunity to influence meaningful change, champion inclusion, and help build an organisation where everyone can do their best work.

As part of our People & Culture team, you'll work in partnership with leaders, colleagues, and volunteers to bring our Employee Experience, Engagement, and Diversity & Inclusion ambitions to life.

You'll help embed initiatives that strengthen our culture, support our people through change, and enhance our Employee Value Proposition.

Working hours: 35 hours / Monday – Friday
Location: Homebased
Hybrid role: Flexibility around you and the needs of the operation, travel into our London Hub may potentially be once per month or less for in person catch ups and connection.

It's important to us that you feel part of our team from the start. We like to keep in touch with regular check-ins and team meetings.

Successful candidates for certain RSPCA roles will need to undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.

Applicants must have the legal right to work in the UK - We are unable to sponsor visas at RSPCA

We want to ensure we do all we can to give you a positive candidate experience through our recruitment. Whilst we do try to give feedback where we can, sometimes due to receiving high levels of applications, this may not always be possible

We are building the future of a diverse Society, and our priority is to support animal welfare by finding people from all backgrounds who are committed  to our mission.  For this reason we actively encourage a wide diversity of applications - in particular from members of minority ethnic groups, and people with disabilities - as these candidates are currently under-represented at the RSPCA. Your transferable skills & lived experiences could make you a valuable addition to our RSPCA Family! 

We're here to support you and encourage you to let us know if you need any adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process. Please feel free to contact us at resourcingteam@rspca.org.uk or 0300 123 0685 so we can ensure the process works for you.
