Our Values
Impact: we are committed to a vegan world; we will utilise research to evaluate how the highest number of lives can be spared and direct resources to that end.
Empowerment: we will optimise our outreach to support and encourage people on their vegan journey in a non-judgemental, positive, constructive and easily accessible way.

Diversity and inclusion: we know that it takes people with different ideas, strengths, interests and backgrounds to achieve our vision; we appreciate the value of this and how it brings us closer to achieving our mission.
Respect and integrity: in all internal and external relationships, we will strive for genuine, honest, and transparent communication.
Resilience: we will continue to create a professional and sustainable (human, social, economic and environmental) organisation.

1. A job specific pre interview task (to be completed between 21st – 24th October 2024)
We’re lucky enough to receive many amazing applications for our roles and it’s sometimes difficult to select a small number of people to interview. By having a pre interview task, it allows us to learn more about our shortlisted candidates than a CV and cover letter can tell us.
2. A first interview with the hiring manager and one other team member (Interviews will take place on 5th November 2024)
This is always competency based and job aligned so there isn’t anything for you to prepare.
3. A timed trial task (to be completed between 6th – 8th November)
You will be given a job specific task to be completed with a short window of time at a time agreed with our HR team.
4. A follow up second interview with the hiring manager and one other team member (Interviews will take place on the 11th November 2024)
This final stage allow the team to ask any follow up questions or explore areas that they have reflected on since the first interview. There isn’t usually anything to prepare.
We look forward to receiving your application.
