Eurogroup for Animals (www.eurogroupforanimals.org) is working to create a Europe where animals are considered and valued as contributing to our well-being, prosperity and to the sustainability of our planet. AEurope where animals are not seen as products but as sentient beings that like us feel pain and suffering. We have a new vacancy to help fulfil this mission.

Established in 1982, Eurogroup for Animals is the leading voice for animal welfare at European Union level providing a voice for the billions of animals kept in laboratories, farms and homes or living in the wild. We are passionate about creating a society where animal welfare is fully considered and where:

• Every animal should live in an environment where they can perform their natural behaviour
• Cruelty to animals is not tolerated
• The welfare of all animals is protected by European legislation
• All EU laws on the protection of animals are effective and prevent animal suffering
• Politicians in all 27 member states and at EU level consider the impact every new policy has on animals

We are recognised by the European Parliament and Commission as the leading animal welfare organisation at EU level and represent animal welfare interests on many EU advisory committees and consultation bodies.

Reporting to the Director, your role will be to develop, implement and manage fundraising programmes designed for a targeted range of funders including institutions such as the European Commission, charitable trusts, foundations and corporate and private donors.
