Our voluntary roles are subject to an informal interview and introductory period. We will ask you to provide contact details for two referees. Before you can start volunteering, you’ll need to complete our simple online Health & Safety assessment. Tetanus is a life-threatening bacterial disease caused by an infection in an open wound. In view of this, everyone should be vaccinated to prevent infection and we require that all RSPCA staff and volunteers must be suitably protected. Tetanus vaccination is carried out in infancy (3 doses), at pre-school and in adolescence, so everyone should have had 5 doses by the time adulthood is reached. This is considered to give lifelong protection although a booster might be considered if an injury is deemed to be high risk. We request that volunteers must check their vaccination history with their GP’s and if fully immunised, no further action is required. If a volunteer has not had the required doses, the GP should offer them free of charge as part of the UK vaccination schedule.
