WANT TO HAVE A HUGE IMPACT FOR ANIMALS? ​
Animal Ask is looking to appoint a communications coordinator to our team to assist our work in maximising the impact of animal welfare asks. 


ABOUT ANIMAL ASK
Animal Ask has been founded with the express aim to optimise and prioritise farmed animal welfare asks. We conduct in-depth research, narrowly targeted at key decisions between different animal asks, supporting animal charities, donors, policymakers, and governments so that they may do more good in the long term. 

Billions of animals suffer on factory farms every year. The animal advocacy movement has so far done great work to help alleviate animal suffering, building up expertise in both public and corporate campaigns.

The foundation of these campaigns is what is referred to as an ask. This is the specific request for industry, food companies, or the government to improve the welfare of animals in their care e.g. asking the UK government to ban cages for laying hens. These animal welfare asks are implemented over a set period and if successful, can change the lives of millions of animals. However, not all asks are equally impactful - good prioritisation of potential asks can greatly increase the effectiveness of the movement efforts. 

​

HOW YOU WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Over the past 18 months we have produced a number of extensive reports, the results of which could see our optimal recommended asks changing the lives of millions of animals. With your help, we will continue to communicate with the wider community regarding the services we offer as well as remaining an active member of the wider animal and EA communities. 

​

Given the impressive level of effort and resources animal advocacy organisations currently put behind each ask, we think that supporting our community in prioritising the best asks is key and you would play an integral role in supporting this mission.

​

Your work would contribute to the exposure and promotion of Animal Ask and our services. You would help us to increase the reach and potential impact of our research, raising awareness of our service within the animal advocacy community.
