About Us:  

Compassion in World Farming International is a leading global animal welfare organisation dedicated to ending factory farming. We were founded in 1967 by Peter Roberts, a British farmer alarmed by the rise of factory farming. We have achieved bans on some of the most inhumane practices including barren battery cages, veal crates, and sow gestation crates in the UK and Europe. Our corporate engagement work has led to commitments that benefit over 3 billion animals with better lives every year.  

Our approach involves campaigning, advocacy, and engagement with policymakers at national, intergovernmental, and corporate levels, building a movement of individuals concerned about animal welfare and the health and sustainability of our food. We are driven by a passion for animal welfare and global food system change, believing in a future where animals are treated with compassion and respect, and where sustainable farming practices prevail for a healthy planet.  

Our international headquarters are in Godalming, Surrey, UK, with team members in 14 countries on four Continents, including the US, Italy, France, Poland, the Netherlands, Spain, Czechia, China, and a specialist policy office in Brussels.

You’ll need to have a strategic mindset, with the ability to influence key decision-makers in the food industry and drive meaningful change for farm animal welfare and sustainability.

Ideally, you’ll have experience working in the food, agriculture, or sustainability sectors, with a solid understanding of corporate responsibility, supply chains, and sustainability trends.

You’ll need to be a self-starter, who is able to manage multiple projects and priorities with ease, and thrive both independently and as part of a collaborative team. You'll have a proficiency in CRM systems (such as Salesforce), strong analytical skills, and the ability to interpret data to drive strategy will be advantageous.

On 20th August 2011, Flt Lt Jon Egging lost his life whilst completing a display at the Bournemouth Air Festival. He was coming to the end of his first year with the world-famous Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, flying in the position of Red 4.

Jon was an inspirational individual, and inspiration is at the heart of everything we do. Like Jon, our staff and volunteers are chosen for their ability to act as positive role models; in turn they inspire and enthuse our vulnerable young students to reach their full potential. Our long-term support programmes increase self-confidence, self-esteem and aspiration, and ultimately empower young people to become role models within their own communities.

The Jon Egging Trust realises Jon’s dream of inspiring young people through his love of aviation, STEM, teamwork and leadership, helping them to overcome adversity, identify their strengths and work towards their dreams.
