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.

• 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.

About M7 Education

At M7 Education, our mission is simple — to level the educational playing field by making experiential learning accessible to every student. We believe one school trip can change a student’s entire outlook on education, yet too many miss out due to financial barriers.

We provide fully funded school trips and workshops for high pupil premium schools across England and Wales, taking care of both the funding and the logistics so that teachers can focus on inspiring their students.

• Research, write, and submit compelling grant applications to trusts and foundations.
• Lead creative fundraising campaigns that engage new supporters and promote M7 Education’s mission.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders, sponsors, and community partners.
• Monitor fundraising performance, prepare reports, and evaluate impact to inform future growth.

• Minimum of 3 years’ experience in charity fundraising, with a track record of generating income.
• Proven experience in event planning and delivery.

• Experience writing successful grant or trust funding applications.

What We Offer

• £28,000–£31,000 (pro rata) depending on experience
