This role is perfect for those who love working individually, don’t mind getting a little dirty, and take pride in their work. If you have a green thumb and want experience in a non-animal handling role, we’d love to hear from you! Â
Are you passionate about gardening and love spending time outdoors? Do you want to make a difference in the lives of animals? Join our team at RSPCA NSW as a Volunteer Groundskeeper!
As a RSPCA NSW volunteer Grounds Keeper, your main responsibilities will include performing essential maintenance at our shelters and adoption centres. You will also be responsible for maintaining both animal enclosures and grassed areas. Â
Your duties may extend to managing green waste and tending to veggie gardens, the latter of which help provide food for our adorable pocket pets. Additionally, you will help maintain overall shelter cleanliness to ensure a welcoming environment for staff, the public, and our wonderful animal residents, while also reporting any workplace health and safety hazards to our dedicated shelter teams.Â

Volunteers are at the heart of what RSPCA NSW does. Year after year, these generous individuals spend thousands of hours helping people and pets, providing love and care at our facilities, raising awareness in their local communities, and assisting in various roles across numerous departments. Â
Every volunteer plays a crucial role in our success. Simply put, our impact wouldn’t be the same without our network of volunteers. Â
Consider the many volunteering opportunities on offer at RSPCA NSW. With your assistance, we can change the lives of the people and animals seeking support.
If you are unable to visit our shelters or assist at our events, there are still so many ways you can help us protect and care for animals. Â
If volunteering from home is more your style, we support volunteers looking for flexibility while receiving training and ongoing support. Make a difference from your own space as a volunteer at home! Â
If you’d like to open your heart to an adorable animal companion, we can help you find your new best friend at one of our shelters and adoption centres. RSPCA NSW rehomes a range of adorable animals, including cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, and more! We can help you find a forever friend at any one of our facilities. You can also adopt some of our animals through our partnership with Petbarn.   Â
Becoming a foster carer is another rewarding way to help our animals. If you’re unsure about adopting but looking to personally assist our animals, become a foster carer to help give our animals the love and attention they deserve! Â
If you are unsure about adopting or becoming a foster carer, you can still donate to provide essential care to animals seeking their forever home. As a charity, we rely on a generous network of donors and supporters to provide any training, treatment, supplies, and rehabilitation our animals may require. Your contribution, no matter how small, can provide our animals with ongoing support, giving them a better chance at enjoying a good quality of life. Â
RSPCA NSW facilitates a range of corporate experiences, from corporate donations and Workplace Giving to conferences and events. If you and your colleagues would like the chance to assist our shelter animals, our Corporate Support Days provide the perfect opportunity to volunteer with us.
We promise to uphold the highest ethical standards. Your personal information has never been, and never will be sold or traded to other charities. This is our promise to you.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we live and work. We recognise and respect the enduring relationship they have with their lands and waterways, and particularly acknowledge the vital role animals have played in Indigenous life, stories and culture for tens of thousands of years.
