Careers

Meaningful work in animal welfare takes many kinds of people and expertise.

Some GHS roles involve working directly with animals. Others support animal services, community programs, education, fundraising, communications, administration and operations. Every role helps advance animal welfare and strengthen the care and support available to animals and people in our community.

Working in animal welfare can be rewarding, busy and complex. We look for people who bring relevant skills, a commitment to learning and a collaborative approach to their work.

If that sounds like you, explore our current employment opportunities below.
