Sometimes growth means realizing you can't keep doing everything the same way you've always done it.
Pawportunities has grown so much over the years. More animals. More foster families. More adopters. More volunteers. More people walking through our doors every day looking for help, looking to help, or hoping to meet the animal that is going to become part of their family.
And with that growth comes the realization that we need another really special person on our team.
We are looking for a full-time Adoption Services Coordinator to join us in Blue Springs.
This isn't just a front-desk job, and we're not just looking for someone who wants to work with animals. We're looking for someone who wants to work with people who love animals and become one of the faces of Pawportunities.
When someone walks through our doors hoping to adopt, you may be the first person they meet. When a foster doesn't know what happens next, you'll help them find the answer. When a volunteer asks, "What can I do to help?" you'll help turn that willingness into something meaningful.
And when one of our animals has been waiting and waiting for someone to notice them, we want you to be the person asking, "What can we do differently to help this one find their family?"
There are days you'll get to watch someone leave with their new best friend. There will also be days when the phone won't stop ringing, several people need something at once, a foster is frustrated, volunteers need direction and your to-do list keeps growing.
That's rescue.
So yes, we need someone who loves animals. But we also need someone who is organized, dependable, kind, confident and a problem solver. Someone who takes initiative, follows through and doesn't walk past something that needs attention because "that's not my job."
You don't have to have spent your career in animal rescue. Maybe you've managed a retail store, worked in hospitality, run an office, coordinated volunteers, worked in customer service or worked in a veterinary setting.
We can teach you how Pawportunities works. What we're hoping to find is someone who already brings the heart, work ethic, organization, communication and initiative that are much harder to teach.
This is a full-time position, generally five days a week from approximately 11 a.m.–7 p.m. at our Blue Springs location. Pay is $18–$21/hour depending on experience and qualifications.
And no, you won't spend eight hours a day playing with puppies. Although there will definitely be puppies.
If you've ever followed Pawportunities and thought, "I would love to be part of what they do," maybe this is your chance.
