Your contributions will support our mission to end factory farming by 2040.

About Us:

Compassion in World Farming International is a leading global organisation dedicated to ending factory farming worldwide. We were founded in 1967 by Peter Roberts, a British farmer alarmed by the rise of factory farming. Over the past 50 years, we have made major strides in abolishing inhumane practices such as barren battery cages, veal crates, and sow gestation crates in the UK and Europe.

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 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.

In this exciting new position, you'll provide essential administrative support and coordinate a growing caseload of legacies, working closely with the Legacy Administrator.

Woman's Trust

The charity was originally established by a group of survivors and Counsellors to meet the gap in specialist mental health services, designed by and for women, to ensure that women affected by DA can live a life free from further harm and abuse.

This is a pivotal time to join the Woman’s Trust Communication’s team, as we want to generate more awareness of our work, capitalising on our unique position in the women’s and mental health sectors. We want to proactively get organisations involved in the conversations that matter – while reflecting the confidential nature and sensitivities around domestic abuse and mental health.

If you are looking to make a real impact in your Communications career, then we would like to hear from you, so please do get in touch. 

To apply, please send your CV and a cover letter of no more than 2 pages outlining your experience, skills and knowledge, relevant to this post and showing us, through examples, why we should choose you.

Please also provide us with the details of two referees. We require their name, contact information, and relationship to you. Referees will not be contacted until an offer of employment is made.

Interviews will be held on a rolling basis.

Closing date for applications: Monday, 16th September 2024.
