In this key role, you will be responsible for hitting horse rehoming targets and providing post-adoption support by collaborating with Regional Adoptions Facilitators. Working efficiently with Adoptions and Admissions Coordinators, Foster Yard Coordinators, and the onsite adoption preparation team, you'll maximize adoptions across the Rehoming and Fostering network. This ensures swift intake of horses to pre-matched new homes.
