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.

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.
