Animal Equality also advocates for political change. Our current campaigns include a UK ban on foie gras imports, increased enforcement of existing animal protection laws, legal protections for farmed fish, and Government subsidies for transitioning towards a plant-based food system.

We focus on farmed animals because of the scale and severity of the issue. More than a billion animals are confined and killed for human consumption every year in the UK. Farmed animals also often suffer in some of the worst ways: pigs typically endure painful mutilations, many chickens die of heart attacks, fish are confined in underwater cages, and some farmed animals are victims of deliberate abuse and neglect. But the problem is solvable! By utilising effective campaigning strategies, Animal Equality is having an impact for animals around the world and building a future where all animals are respected and protected, and are no longer exploited for human consumption.

• Personalised Employee Assistance Program (EAP): an Animal Equality-funded benefit that offers employees confidential counselling and advice on a wide range of work and personal issues. The program offers several services, such as a 24/7 confidential helpline and expert Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
• Flexible hours, with the option to start between 8am-10am and finish between 4pm-6pm.
• Able Futures Support: The service is a nine month, practical and confidential support service for employees whose circumstances or mental health may impact their wellbeing or work. Employees can work with a mental health professional to deepen their understanding of how their mental health may impact them and will build coping skills and resilience to thrive at work.

About the team 

We’ve seen some incredibly significant changes in Shelter over the past three years, with a radical shift in our organisational strategy and the consequent need to change our ways of working fundamentally. Our Equity, Inclusion and Culture (EI&C) Directorate was formed to help us actively embrace diversity - in people, ideas and actions, with a focus on changing our internal culture and promoting equity. Our Learning and Organisational Development team sit within the EIC directorate.

About Shelter

Home is a human right. It’s our foundation and where we thrive. Yet everyday millions of people are being devastated by the housing emergency.

We exist to defend the right to a safe home. Because home is everything.

We need ambitious, passionate people to join us. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. To win this fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement. In all our people decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, equitable and transparent. We are committed to combating racism both within and outside Shelter. We welcome you on our journey to becoming truly anti-racist.

Safeguarding is everyone's business. Shelter is committed to protecting the health, wellbeing and human rights of those we support, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect. All our staff will be expected to observe professional standards of behaviour and conduct their work in line with our Safeguarding Policies.

Keep Britain Tidy is one of the UK’s leading environmental charities. At a time when we are living in a world that is facing its greatest environmental challenges, the work we do has never been more important or more urgent.

We are looking for an experienced and dynamic person to manage our national LitterHeroes programme. 

The successful person will have experience in project management, budgets, managing staff and volunteer engagement skills. 

This role sits within the Volunteering & Community Engagement team who run a range of programmes and activities for volunteers and will be responsible for the development, management and coordination of the Keep Britain Tidy LitterHeroes programme.

The role will engage with our dedicated volunteers in both the LitterHeroes and LitterHeroes Ambassadors networks who are taking action on litter across the country.

The aim of this role is to develop and deliver the programme to increase the impact our volunteers can have. The post holder will expand engagement with Keep Britain Tidy LitterHeroes and LitterHeroes Ambassadors and increase their support, knowledge, and ultimately the action they take, developing the programme so that it has real impact.

The role will manage these two inspiring networks of volunteers, growing the volunteer base; providing advice; supporting them to take action in their local community; supporting them to promote Keep Britain Tidy’s campaigns; developing online support systems; and measuring and communicating the impact of the work they do.

As we’re moving forward, we recognise that a diverse workforce yields the best results.  We embrace all the different identities in the UK, and we want our workforce to reflect that.

Environmental change is affecting us all and we want people from all backgrounds to be part of the solution and help us make the changes that cannot wait. It is for this reason that Keep Britain Tidy has flexible and supportive policies for all our staff and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds.

All our roles benefit from generous holiday entitlement and pension contributions, including the opportunity to join the UK’s first net carbon pension scheme and to receive extra days leave for using alternatives to flights.
