If you are a qualified Veterinarian this would be advantageous but not essential, as the focus of this role is Veterinary and Equid Welfare; ensuring that all practices by anyone associated with the programme are of an acceptable quality in terms of welfare and accepted professional veterinary standards. Working with Veterinary specialists you will co-ordinate all veterinary perspective discussions on interventions to address equine welfare across the programme. You will stay informed on current practices, related to Welfare and Veterinary intervention in terms of other organisations and institutions (including other welfare NGOs, Governments, or institutions such as WOAH) and represent World Horse Welfare in meetings, conferences, seminars and consultations concerning equine welfare.
Although UK based you will be required to travel internationally at least four times per year. This role is suitable for remote working, however, there is an expectation for attendance at our head office in Norfolk throughout the year and this will be at your own expense for travel and accommodation.
We offer a generous pension scheme, cash health plan, death in service benefit as well as the bike to work scheme. Employee sickness pay scheme and a minimum of 31 days holiday including bank/ public holidays and a mandatory shutdown between Christmas and New Year.
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.
World Horse Welfare is committed to championing equality and diversity in all aspects of employment and in the services that it provides. We encourage applications from under-represented groups, particularly ethnically diverse communities, LGBTQ+ and disabled people.

Do you believe everyone should have the opportunity to learn to read and develop numeracy skills? Can you help us spread the word to others, and get them on board too?
We’re looking for an experienced communications and marketing professional to help us spread the word about the levels of low literacy and numeracy experienced by people across the UK. Currently, over 70% of people in prisons either can’t read, or struggle to. Even more struggle with their numeracy.
Shannon Trust supports people in the criminal justice system, and in the wider community, to learn to read and improve their numeracy skills. The work you will be promoting makes day to day life safer for the learner, their families, and the wider community. It provides more opportunities for work and education for the learner, helps break the intergenerational cycle of low literacy and numeracy, and reduces re-offending.
Working closely with colleagues across the charity, your responsibilities will include:
- Promoting the work of Shannon Trust, internally and externally, through a variety of communications platforms including print and digital media, video and radio
- Managing the day-to-day monitoring and development of our social media channels and website

- Delivering a great experience to our supporters, helping us recruit new supporters and retain existing ones
- Creating content that converts people to action
- This role is a great opportunity for someone who likes to take ownership of projects and campaigns, and wants to lead on important work they can be proud of. We welcome new approaches and ideas and want someone who will bring their full professional expertise to work.
This is a home-based role but may require occasional travel around the UK including overnight stays.
Employee benefits include a company contribution to pension scheme of up to 5%, 30 days holiday plus bank holidays, life insurance, paid volunteering days, discounts via Reward Gateway and an Employee Assistance Programme. The biggest benefit though is our culture – our people really want to work for the organisation.
We welcome job applications from people with lived experience of the criminal justice system and do not routinely ask for details of any criminal convictions.
Applications close 21st February. Interviews are planned for the week commencing 3rd March.
