KSPCA is the only animal welfare charity in Kenya protecting animals from neglect and abuse. We rely on the help of volunteers, voluntary fundraising and donations to carry out our important work, so your support is invaluable to us! Since the society’s formation one hundred years ago, KSPCA has grown and is well known for animal rescue and rehabilitation. Our headquarters on Langata Road, Karen were established in 1983 when land was purchased and kennels and a small cattery were built. With a focus on domestic animals, KSPCA is currently home to around 150 dogs, 90 cats as well as donkeys and goats and we rehome around 45-50 dogs and 20 cats per month. KSPCA also has offices providing relief to animals in Naivasha and Mombasa. We firmly believe that educating younger generations is the best way to raise standards of animal care in the future and encourage school children to visit the shelter and learn about animal welfare. In the last twenty years we have seen an encouraging change in attitudes to animals, though there is still a long way to go. View more View less

Job Description

Nairobi-based; full-time, fixed-term contract

Our team at KSPCA is looking for a dedicated and thoughtful Rehoming Officer to help our rescued animals find safe, loving, and suitable forever homes. In this role, you'll play a key part in the adoption journey-supporting potential adopters, assessing suitability, and ensuring that every match is made with the animal's long-term well-being in mind.

You'll engage with members of the public daily, guiding them through the adoption process, asking the right questions, and providing honest, practical advice. You'll work closely with our animal care and veterinary teams to understand each animal's needs, personality, and history, helping to create the best possible matches. You'll also follow up on adoptions where needed, ensuring animals continue to thrive in their new homes.

We're looking for someone who is empathetic, confident, and able to balance compassion with sound judgment. You should be comfortable making decisions, including difficult ones, always putting the animal first. Strong communication and organisational skills are essential, as is the ability to manage multiple cases and interactions simultaneously. Experience in animal welfare, customer service, or community engagement is an added advantage, but a genuine love for animals, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn are essential.

If you're passionate about giving animals a second chance and helping create meaningful, lasting bonds between people and pets, we'd love to hear from you. Come be part of KSPCA Nairobi.

At KSPCA, we value integrity, professionalism, and respect for both people and animals. We're looking for someone who shares these values and is committed to supporting our mission to protect and care for animals across Kenya.
