This parental leave cover position will lead advocacy to influence governments, UN agencies, and international stakeholders to increase investment in the animal health systems that support animal welfare.
You will coordinate the Action for Animal Health coalition, shape its next five-year strategy, and advocate for animal health and welfare to be recognised within global discussions on One Health, climate change, agrifood systems, antimicrobial resistance, and pandemic prevention. Working across Brooke's Global Policy and Advocacy team, you will drive impactful advocacy that delivers lasting change for working horses, donkeys, mules, and the communities that depend on them.

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.
