Introducing SOS UK
 

Our education system helped cause the climate and nature crisis, but now we’re making it the solution.

We are fighting to make sure everyone develops a commitment to protecting the earth and puts it to work – whether it’s at school, university or in their careers.

By empowering students and educators to build a better world, we can transform the lives of generations to come. In just a few years we have developed unstoppable student leaders. Behind these leaders every step of the way is the SOS UK community making sure students don’t have to fight for change alone. We unite people from every background, inside and outside education, because protecting our earth matters to each and every one of us. Armed with proven solutions, we push for change at every level of society. We are always laser focused on what can be done, whether it’s at local councils, in community halls, or in Westminster.

As educators, environmentalists, and activists, we use our expertise to get things done – from changing curriculums across the world, to making sure all school children have access to nature. We mentor. We advise. We campaign. We empower students to lead. Not just at university but for decades to come, as workers, employers and community members. We create climate and nature protectors in every community. They mobilise countless others. They change our country, and even our world, for the better.

About the role

This is an exciting opportunity to help shape the future of fundraising at SOS UK. As we diversify our income streams, you will play a central role in developing high value partnerships that support our mission and long-term sustainability.

Alongside this, SOS UK is launching a new Development Board, bringing together leaders from industries facing key green skills shortages alongside young people helping to shape the future workforce and sustainability agenda. This will create new opportunities to build strategic relationships and engage prospective partners.

You will join at a pivotal moment, helping to deliver the first phase of this newly established fundraising programme. You will inherit a strong pipeline of opportunities, benefit from strong senior leadership support, and have the opportunity to shape the future direction of relationship fundraising at SOS UK.

In this role, you will develop and manage partnerships with companies, corporate foundations and philanthropic supporters to generate sustainable income and strategic value for SOS UK.

The role will focus approximately as follows:

• 75% corporate partnerships and business development
• 25% philanthropy and high value relationship fundraising

Working closely with colleagues across the organisation, you will manage and grow an established pipeline of opportunities while identifying and securing new partnerships aligned with SOS UK's mission and strategic priorities.

Job Description

Freedom for Animals is one of the UK's longest-running animal rights organisations. Since 1957, we have been working to end the exploitation of animals through undercover investigations, research, campaigns, political lobbying, education and grassroots activism. Our vision is simple: Freedom for all animals.

We are now seeking an experienced, enthusiastic campaigner and passionate animal rights advocate to join our team as our Campaigns Officer.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a leading role in campaigns that expose cruelty, influence decision-makers, mobilise supporters and create lasting change for animals exploited in captivity. Working closely with the Co-Director (Campaigns), you will help shape and deliver ambitious campaigns across our key areas of work, including zoos, aquariums, mobile zoos, circuses and other areas of animal exploitation for entertainment.

The successful candidate will join a small, dedicated and ambitious team where every member has the opportunity to make a real impact. You'll lead campaign activity across digital and offline channels, coordinate supporter actions, engage with politicians and partner organisations, respond to media opportunities, contribute to consultations and represent Freedom for Animals at meetings, events and demonstrations.

We're looking for someone who thrives on turning strategy into action. You'll be equally comfortable developing compelling campaign materials, using digital and social media to engage and mobilise supporters, building relationships with politicians, coalition partners and other stakeholders, and identifying opportunities to advance our mission.

You will have a proven track record of delivering successful campaigns, excellent communication and relationship-building skills, confidence using digital campaigning tools and social media to inspire action, and an unwavering commitment to animal rights. Knowledge of issues affecting captive animals and experience of political advocacy or grassroots campaigning would be an advantage.

This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced campaigner looking to take the next step in their career with a respected and growing animal rights organisation. You'll have the opportunity to shape national campaigns, influence policy, work alongside investigators and campaign partners, and help create meaningful change for thousands of animals.

To apply, please submit your CV together with a covering letter explaining how your skills, knowledge and experience meet the requirements of the role and person specification.
