What does The Animal Law Foundation do? 

The Animal Law Foundation was registered with the Charity Commission in August 2022. It is primarily a legal research charity that looks into neglected areas of animal law and where appropriate will instruct lawyers to bring legal challenges to secure any systems in place to protect animals function as they should.

Groups like this exist in the environmental and the human rights space in the UK and in the animal protection space in other countries. There is a desperate need for such work to exist for animals in the UK. 

The UK still has some of the best animal welfare laws in the world, yet the opportunity for vast change contained within these laws is rarely explored. Through exploring these opportunities the whole system for animals can be improved and set global examples. 

It is of vital importance that laws that exist to protect animals are understood and applied. The Animal Law Foundation will work alongside stakeholders to ensure that this happens. 

As a Peer Worker you will be the first point of contact, offering understanding, guidance, and connection to appropriate services and community resources for the clients.

What you’ll do 

• Use lived experience to deliver personalised interventions

• Support individuals in identifying goals, strengths, and support networks, offering guidance, encouragement, and follow-ups to help them achieve their aspirations.​
• Provide practical advice, information, and signposting while addressing barriers, including accompanying clients to appointments when necessary.​

About Us

For over 30 years, The Money Charity has been the UK’s Financial Capability charity. We proactively provide education, information, advice and guidance to people of all ages, helping them to manage their money well and increase their Financial Wellbeing. We believe that being on top of your money as a part of everyday life reduces stress and hardship, helps you achieve your goals and live a happier life as a result, so we empower people across the UK to build the skills, knowledge, attitudes and behaviours to make the most of their money throughout their lives.

Our strategy for 2025-28 includes the aim to double our workshop delivery to children and young people, which is why we are looking to grow our network of consultants.

About The Opportunity

Money Workshops are the core of what we do. Through these sessions, we reach over 40,000 people per year across the UK with our vital financial wellbeing messages. 

This offering is split between two areas of work: Workshops for children and young people (our Financial Education offer), and Sessions & Programmes for adults (what we call Financial Wellbeing Training). We are looking for multiple Freelance Consultants to deliver to one or both of these two groups. Please see the job descriptions below for more information about each opportunity.

The Workshops are interactive, engaging and relevant, covering topics including budgeting, saving, borrowing, investing, pensions and much more. In the majority of cases, they are also fully-funded (free) to the organisations we partner with, keeping barriers to access as low as possible.

As well as delivering the Workshops, you will play a role in promoting them, which means you should be able to forge strong relationships with stakeholders and should be confident in reaching out to new contacts. This will involve sending marketing emails to education establishments and charities, reaching out to existing contacts, and possibly the use of social media to promote the workshops. It also means Consultants can control their own diaries and commitments, meaning that this is an ideal opportunity for those looking for flexibility.

This is an exciting opportunity to work with and learn from a team of expert consultants and staff, make a difference to your community and help The Money Charity to reach more people with our life changing financial wellbeing messages.

This role involves a significant amount of travel within your region, and possibly the UK, therefore willingness to travel is essential and a valid UK driving licence and use of a car is required.

The Money Charity is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff, contractors and volunteers to share this commitment. A satisfactory Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check is required for this opportunity.

We will be hosting a webinar on Monday 13th October at 2:30pm where you can find out more about the opportunity, and ask any questions. The link to sign up to the webinar can found on the job advert on our website.

Closing date: 17:00, Tuesday 21st October 2025.

We will review applications as they come in, and may close applications early, so please apply as soon as possible.

Interviews: 

First round (virtual initial chat) - week beginning 3rd November 2025

Second round (face to face group interview) - week beginning 17th November 2025
