As Senior UN Advocacy Manager, you will join Brooke’s Programmes Directorate at an exciting time as we deliver our five-year strategy. You’ll play a key role in leading our advocacy with UN agencies and UN member states, specifically around the contribution of working animals to sustainable development.

You will develop and deliver our UN advocacy strategy, build and cultivate relationships with UN officials and diplomatic missions, monitor consultative statuses with key UN bodies, and represent Brooke in a number of international coalitions and at international events. Working closely with the Head of Policy and Advocacy and advocacy staff in country programmes, you will ensure that our advocacy asks are evidence-based and translate into policy change.

The ideal candidate will have experience in leading advocacy and policy work in an international setting, working with diverse senior stakeholders and securing policy change. You’ll be a strategic thinker with excellent stakeholder management and planning skills, and a confident communicator who can build persuasive narratives suitable for policymakers.

If you are passionate about creating policy for animals, apply now and play a vital role in shaping Brooke’s advocacy for the future.

At Brooke, we celebrate diversity and the creative new ideas it brings. We actively encourage applications from all backgrounds, in particular global majority candidates, candidates from a social mobility background, disabled and neuro-diverse candidates, and candidates under 25 as these groups are currently under-represented at Brooke. 

We are aware that studies have shown that women and global majority candidates are less likely to apply for a role if they feel they do not meet the full criteria of the job description. If you feel you meet the majority of the criteria, we would love to hear from you. 

We offer a variety of flexible working options to best support our staff and to ensure our working practices are as inclusive as possible. 

Project Background

Come and join our award-winning place-based volunteering programme that works with residents living across Hackney and the City of London.

You will be based out in the community - the programme is based at GP practices - to engage, support and enable local residents and patients to deliver local services for themselves, to meet local needs. We support residents to come together, to share their skills and experience for the benefit of each other, to deliver local groups and activities such as a book group, film club, exercise classes or cooking group. Residents from diverse backgrounds and demographics attend these activities together and make new connections, building strong local communities, all working together to make their area a better place to live. People, many of whom are isolated across all ages, and who have difficult life circumstances, are brought together, providing each other with mutual support and encouragement to develop new skills and pursue life goals, and to feel better able to voice their concerns to services.

You will be joining a nationally recognised project - having won an award from the Royal Society of Public Health in November 2024 - to support residents to fulfil their personal goals, make connections with others, and design activities and services that meet local needs. You will also be supporting people to improve their mental and physical health through signposting them to appropriate services and encouraging them to talk to their GP if they have concerns; and will be working in partnership with GP practice staff to co-create volunteer roles to make the practice more efficient and a better place to visit.

Who are we?

We work with hundreds of diverse community organisations and deliver various programmes to help residents share their skills and deliver their own social action projects to improve people’s lives. These include a befriending programme, volunteering brokerage matching local people to volunteer roles based on their skills, interests and goals, a specialist mental health programme, peer research and multiple resident engagement programmes at GP surgeries and estates across Hackney.
