“We have been celebrating our 151 year history and we are excited to announce we have a number of vacancies become available at the GSPCA including a new role as an Animal Care and Welfare Assistant role,” said GSPCA Manager, Steve Byrne.
“In our 151 years we have seen many incredible team members and sadly we wave off Sarah Langlois very soon to the UK who is off on a new chapter in her life and after 17 years we wave off Lorna Chadwick at the end of the month as she starts after 17 years at the GSPCA a new role as Animal Welfare Officer with eh States of Guernsey.
“With this sad loss of two incredible team members it does open exciting new opportunities at the GSPCA and with new animal welfare legislation passed earlier this year and exciting time as we have created a new role as an Animal Care and Welfare Assistant.”
Mr Byrne said new recruits are needed to ‘ensure the care and rescue of animals in need’.
“Many welfare calls can be resolved with a bit of advice but each year we deal with very serious concerns that involves working with many organisations and States departments,” he said.
“From rabbits kept in awful conditions to 25 puppies being illegally transported we deal with very investigations that lead to court cases to those that can be resolved with help and advice.
“You do need to be caring and sympathetic to carry out this role with a strong sense of understanding while being able to be resilient and adaptable to what can be every changing circumstances.
“For over 150 years the GSPCA have investigated cruelty and neglect to animals and supported our community and education has been a big part in this as it will be in this role.”
