Our people

We are proud that our team here at the RSPCA is made-up of such a hardworking, diverse and talented bunch of people.
 

Out and about

We’re best known for our frontline work – carried out by hard-working inspectors, animal welfare officers (AWOs), veterinary staff and animal care assistants. They face daily challenges working with animals and members of the public.

In our 170 branches, staff and countless volunteers work with endless energy and dedication to look after the tens of thousands of animals that come into our care every year. 

Behind the scenes

Our national office is a hive of activity. It’s where our animal welfare scientists, press officers, campaigners, fundraisers, chief executive and many others all work together to support our mission.
