Due to the nature of cat rescue and the cyclical nature of 'seasons' we are generally busier during the summer months, with a lull in winter.
The role is key to the future success of Lonely Miaow and will require a reason investment of time, approx. 10 hours a week initially. This is likely to reduce once teams have been fully built and processes implemented.
