Job description

Undercover Investigator (Independent Contractor)

Reports to: Chief Executive
Location: United Kingdom (with international assignments possible)
Contract Type: Independent Contractor

About the Role

As an Undercover Investigator with the Animal Welfare Investigations Project (AWIP), you will work as part of a dedicated and highly skilled investigations team committed to disrupting organised animal cruelty and protecting animals worldwide.

You’ll be tasked with carrying out covert, intelligence-led operations aligned with AWIP’s Strategic Plan — targeting organised, serious, and complex cruelty within industries that use animals for human consumption.

Assignments will vary from short-term deployments to multi-month undercover placements within agricultural or associated sectors. You may also support other high-priority investigations, such as deploying covert surveillance equipment to assist ongoing animal fighting, wildlife crime, or puppy farming cases.

This work demands resilience, adaptability, and absolute discretion. You’ll operate in challenging environments, often under cover, gathering high-quality intelligence and evidence to support enforcement action and criminal prosecutions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct covert investigations and gather evidential material in line with AWIP’s operational protocols and evidentiary standards.

  • Undertake long-term employment-based assignments in industries using animals for human consumption.

  • Deploy covert and technical surveillance equipment to support intelligence-led investigations.

  • Conduct research to identify investigative targets, networks, and patterns of organised animal crime.

  • Produce accurate daily logs, reports, and evidentiary submissions while maintaining strict chain-of-custody procedures.

  • Work collaboratively with solicitors, prosecutors, and law enforcement partners to support prosecutions and intelligence-led operations.

  • Provide witness statements and give evidence in court when required.

  • Ensure the confidentiality of all sensitive material and operational matters.

  • Maintain regular communication with the Investigations & Intelligence Team regarding case activity and developments.

  • Uphold AWIP’s mission and values in all aspects of your work.

Essential Requirements

  • Strong alignment with AWIP’s mission to investigate, disrupt, protect, and rescue animals from organised cruelty.

  • Proven ability to work independently, including in isolated or high-pressure environments.

  • Confidence operating covert recording equipment and strong photography/videography skills.

  • Excellent observation and attention to detail.

  • Ability to adapt quickly, make sound judgments under pressure, and take calculated risks when necessary.

  • Strong written communication and reporting skills.

  • Full UK right to work and valid driving licence.

  • Willingness to travel extensively and remain away from home for prolonged periods (typically 2–4 months per assignment; accommodation and expenses covered).

  • Professional, discreet, and capable of maintaining operational secrecy at all times.

Desirable

  • Prior experience in covert investigations, intelligence gathering, or law enforcement.

  • Understanding of animal agriculture, animal fighting, or wildlife crime.

  • Familiarity with evidentiary procedures and working with legal teams or enforcement agencies.

The Person

We’re looking for someone audacious, determined, and mission-driven — someone who thrives under pressure, has a meticulous eye for detail, and possesses an unshakeable commitment to protecting animals from harm.
