Positions Vacant

At POOPS WA (Pets of Older Persons WA), we believe that pets are family and no one should have to give them up because they’re unable to walk them or get them to the vet or groomer.

Our volunteers are the heart of what we do, supporting older pet owners, and those in palliative care across Perth & Busselton to stay connected with their beloved animals. While most of our volunteers are out pounding the pavement with pups, we also rely on people with professional skills to help behind the scenes.

If you’re passionate about pets and community, and you want to make a meaningful difference, we’d love to hear from you.

We currently have the following positions vacant.
