The lead volunteer will be responsible for admissions & homings in co-ordination with the admissions and homing volunteer. They will also be responsible for overseeing that the scheduled daily tasks such as feeding, cleaning, interaction and socialisation and organising supplies is carried out satisfactorily.

Most importantly, the lead volunteer will be responsible for security at the Ark and should ensure that all doors are kept closed when not in use, especially the front door. The lead volunteer should co-ordinate the daily tasks of all volunteers on the premises and ensure that all chores are done.

The role of the assisting volunteers is to support the Lead Volunteer in ensuring that all cats are fed and watered, all litter trays are kept clean, and that all rooms are clean and tidy.

Socialising and interacting is a main part of the role here, as often the lead volunteer may be too busy with homings, admissions visitors and other tasks to give the 1 to 1 quality time that the cats benefit from.

Assisting volunteers should work under the direction of the lead volunteer of the day and may be asked to help in a wide variety of tasks.

We would like to try to get a team of two assisting volunteers in most of the day, but can't accommodate more as our building is small.
