Help our team make Animal Freedom a reality in the UK.

We’re a primarily volunteer organisation helping the UK Animal Freedom movement build the power it needs to win.

 

Our teams are currently working with the movement to craft a winning strategy, change society’s deep beliefs through new messaging, and unify the many groups and individuals working on behalf of our fellow animals. 

 

If our work lights a fire in you, get in touch – we’d love to hear from you. 

We’re looking for people who are:

  • Dedicated to Animal Freedom and aligned with our values
  • Ready to unlock their full potential
  • Humble, emotionally intelligent and excellent team players
  • Open-minded and eager to grow both personally and professionally
  • Highly motivated, with a strong sense of initiative
  • Strong written and spoken communicators

Financial Support for Volunteers

We’re primarily a volunteer organisation. On some occasions we offer part-time paid roles, occasionally full-time. Typically though, people join as volunteers in a full-time, part-time or casual capacity. We are able to direct volunteers to a grant-making organisation that can help them meet their basic needs. Others have found, or worked with us to find, other creative solutions to volunteer. Whatever your background, whether you have dependents or special circumstances, we should be able to find a way together – talk to us and we can discuss what support we can offer.

Our Home

Our team is based in Lancaster, England. We chose to build Animal Think Tank in Lancaster due to the city’s progressive roots, rich culture and history, national reputation and affordability. We generally expect our members to be based in Lancaster.

Diversity

We are a diverse group and we intend to expand in the same way. We encourage people from all walks of life to apply. Having a range of people on our team, with different backgrounds, experiences, identities, viewpoints and beliefs, matters to us deeply. We believe our differences and uniqueness make us stronger. Having a diverse team will also help us build a freedom movement that is representative and welcoming of all sections of society.
