Location: Remote, with travel across the UK as required
Closing date: 23rd July 2026 (We may appoint before the closing date, so early applications are encouraged)

Job Description

Freedom for Animals is one of the UK's longest-running animal rights organisations. Since 1957, we have been working to end the exploitation of animals through undercover investigations, research, campaigns, political lobbying, education and grassroots activism. Our vision is simple: Freedom for all animals.

We are now seeking an experienced, enthusiastic campaigner and passionate animal rights advocate to join our team as our Campaigns Officer.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a leading role in campaigns that expose cruelty, influence decision-makers, mobilise supporters and create lasting change for animals exploited in captivity. Working closely with the Co-Director (Campaigns), you will help shape and deliver ambitious campaigns across our key areas of work, including zoos, aquariums, mobile zoos, circuses and other areas of animal exploitation for entertainment.

The successful candidate will join a small, dedicated and ambitious team where every member has the opportunity to make a real impact. You'll lead campaign activity across digital and offline channels, coordinate supporter actions, engage with politicians and partner organisations, respond to media opportunities, contribute to consultations and represent Freedom for Animals at meetings, events and demonstrations.

We're looking for someone who thrives on turning strategy into action. You'll be equally comfortable developing compelling campaign materials, using digital and social media to engage and mobilise supporters, building relationships with politicians, coalition partners and other stakeholders, and identifying opportunities to advance our mission.

You will have a proven track record of delivering successful campaigns, excellent communication and relationship-building skills, confidence using digital campaigning tools and social media to inspire action, and an unwavering commitment to animal rights. Knowledge of issues affecting captive animals and experience of political advocacy or grassroots campaigning would be an advantage.

This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced campaigner looking to take the next step in their career with a respected and growing animal rights organisation. You'll have the opportunity to shape national campaigns, influence policy, work alongside investigators and campaign partners, and help create meaningful change for thousands of animals.

To apply, please submit your CV together with a covering letter explaining how your skills, knowledge and experience meet the requirements of the role and person specification.

Freedom for Animals is committed to being an equal opportunities employer and to creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and communities.

The successful candidate will be expected to share Freedom for Animals' values, vision and commitment to ending the exploitation of animals.
