Why become part of World Horse Welfare’s team?
Horses might be part of our DNA but they don’t have to be part of yours. World Horse Welfare has plenty of passionate equine experts already in situ, so provided you share our values of being realistic, compassionate and forward-thinking then you could be the perfect candidate.
We care about our people because they are the ones who enable us to achieve such good work. We invest in them, nurture them and listen to them to create a collaborative working environment where everyone feels valued.

World Horse Welfare’s values are grounded in pragmatism and compassion as we strive to support and strengthen the horse-human partnership in all its guises through a combination of care, research, education and influence. The charity promotes and protects welfare across the full spectrum of the equine world including horses in need, sport and leisure horses, and horses used in work and production in marginalised communities worldwide.
