Tonight we hold our 11th Volunteer Induction of 2019 having inducted 111 volunteers through this years events.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We cannot achieve so much without the incredible volunteers and team we have here at the GSPCA.”
“We love to meet new volunteers and our next induction is tonight at 630pm.”
“You can come along no matter your age or interest and you can find out how you can get involved and help support and be involved with the work of the GSPCA.”
This week GSPCA Honey has gone on sale at the GSPCA for £6 a jar.
On site at the GSPCA the Guernsey Beekeepers Association have a training apiary and have been on site with us since the 16th May 2017.
There are a number of hives and the Guernsey Beekeepers use the GSPCA for training their members and those interested and they hold a number of events at the GSPCA each year.
At the GSPCA Animal Shelter in St Andrews we have two permanent and a casual post which we are currently looking to recruit individuals with excellent customer and animal care skills.
Working for the GSPCA is a diverse and often challenging position with great rewards from the 3000 animals we help through the doors 24/7 each year to the community we serve here in Guernsey.
The posts currently advertised are –
Full Time Animal Care Assistant Post (with Animal Ambulance Collection Officer, Reception & Night duties) Post – Primarily Kennels
For over 40 years the GSPCA has operated a 24/7 Ambulance Service thanks to our amazing team.
Without volunteers we could not operate 24/7 365 days a year and we are currently looking to recruit additional volunteers that can help us cover this essential service that helps 1000’s of animals every year.
Volunteers need to have a full clean driving licence and a passion for heling animals and the Guernsey community.
This weekend we are extremely busy at the GSPCA and we are calling any of our amazing volunteers with any time to help.
From helping with our busy ambulance service to walking dogs, our full cattery to our packed rabbit and small animal department, over 100 hedgehogs to over 30 reptiles, gardening to helping on reception.
All trained volunteers need to do is pop in and the team will have plenty for you to do and a huge thanks in advance.

The GSPCA are currently looking for additional casual staff members to help with our increasingly busy front desk, the animals, guided tours, cleaning and to continue to develop our charity shop area.
Casual positions help cover the 7 day a week work, especially on weekends and bank holidays when the GSPCA is often extremely busy and very much with cover for holidays or illness.
