  • Have experience in campaigning and/or thinking strategically about how to make change happen.

What you can expect: As part-time campaigner you will work closely and in collaboration with our Executive Director, to advance our current campaigns and help identify other animal welfare concerns requiring attention.

Campaigning involves a lot of research, writing, as well as strategic and creative thinking to best advocate for the causes we take on.

Being aware that the sometimes horrific treatment experienced by animals can be distressing, campaigners must be prepared to face this. Staff are encouraged to support and motivate each other to implement changes wherever possible.
