The
Food Ethics Council is 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.
The deadline for applications is
midday on 5th October 2017. For further details, including the job description and how to apply,
