The Food Ethics
Council are looking for an experienced part-time project lead for our
Farm animal welfare metrics project for a 12 month period.
Our exciting new project to establish farm animal welfare as a key
indicator of sustainable food systems aims to leverage the power of
indexes to drive a ‘race to the top’ on farm animal welfare standards
and practice in the UK (and beyond). We're looking for an individual
with the ability to engage with key influencers, providing them with
evidence to enable them to put pressure on the UK Government and
Devolved Administrations to protect and further strengthen standards of
farm animal welfare, and progressive businesses to improve farm animal
practices.
You will set up and manage the project - conducting research,
organising workshops and roundtables, liaising with senior stakeholders
and doing advocacy work to promote both the uptake of ‘better’ animal
welfare metrics and solutions to improve the UK’s animal welfare
standards and practice. You will have a passion for farm animal welfare
and sustainable food systems, and a keen interest in metrics. You will
have experience engaging with key influencers. You will be
self-motivated, able to work independently, and able to prosper as part
of a small but dynamic team.
Salary and hours: We estimate this project will
require roughly 100 days over a 12-month period, at a salary level of
£34,000-£37,000 calculated on a pro rata basis (£13,077-£14,231), which
can be either on an employment or consultancy basis. If you are our
preferred candidate, we will work with you to agree the terms of your
engagement and your working schedule.
Location: Kings Cross, London
Deadline for applications: midday on Thursday 5th October 2017
