Current vacancies

Hybrid working (London W1 and home) | £50,536

We are seeking an experienced charity manager to coordinate and manage the activity of the BVA Animal Welfare Foundation (AWF), which places animal welfare at the forefront of veterinary knowledge via research, education and debate.

You will have a strong track record of working with a Board of Trustees and associated committees on the successful implementation of a charity strategy, alongside an ability to lead on the implementation of a focused fundraising strategy.

The ideal candidate will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and strong organisational skills, including the ability to prioritise, and work to strict deadlines. Alongside experience of a variety of fundraising activities, event planning, and knowledge of charity governance, this new role represents an exciting opportunity to optimise the unique partnership with BVA and build strategic relationships with key stakeholders to raise the profile of AWF.

Currently there are no direct line management responsibilities but as the charity develops it is likely that line management responsibilities will become part of this role. The role will also involve working closely with BVA’s policy and public affairs, media and campaigns, and marketing and events teams.

This role is pivotal to AWF and will have a lasting impact on the charity. The role is full time with a starting salary of £50,536, plus a generous benefits package.

If you are interested pursuing this opportunity, please visit our website at www.animalwelfarefoundation.org.uk to find out more about the Animal Welfare Foundation.

To apply please submit your CV and a covering letter describing how your skills meet the role profile and explaining your motivation for wanting to work with AWF. Please also give an indication of your current salary and notice period. Applications should be submitted by email to Anita Maddox at: [email protected].

The closing date for receipt of applications is 9am on Tuesday 2 December 2025.

First interviews will be held remotely on 9 December with second interviews in person at the charity’s central London office on 16 December 2025.

AWF recognises the positive value of diversity, and we welcome applications from all sectors of society. We would particularly welcome applications from under-represented groups within the not-for-profit/membership sector.

No agencies please.

AWF Charity Operations Manager Role Profile

 

Hybrid working (London W1 and home) | £40,489

We’re looking for a Digital Marketing Officer to join our friendly and purpose-driven marketing and events team. If you’re a creative and proactive marketer with strong content creation skills, a flair for planning and delivering effective campaigns, and have hands-on experience of email marketing, this could be the perfect next step for you.

This is a varied and rewarding role where no two days look the same. One day you might be crafting digital content that brings our membership offer to life; the next, you’ll be supporting a targeted, insight-driven campaign to grow participation in the Canine Health Scheme.

In this role, you’ll support the tactical planning and delivery of multi-channel marketing campaigns designed to meet engagement, participation, and growth targets. You’ll bring ideas to life through high-quality content - capturing and editing photos and videos, creating eye-catching graphics, and shaping stories that champion BVA’s mission and impact. You’ll also take ownership of planning, writing, and building regular email campaigns, using segmentation, A/B testing, and automation to drive results.

We’re looking for someone who is organised, curious, and full of creative energy - someone who can juggle multiple projects while keeping a close eye on detail, deadlines, and performance. You’ll be confident using a range of digital tools and platforms, including social media, content management systems, design software, and analytics tools like GA4.

In return, we offer a supportive, collaborative environment where you can develop your skills, try new things, and contribute to meaningful work that supports the veterinary profession. If you're excited by the idea of creating content that inspires, campaigns that deliver impact, and digital experiences that truly resonate, we’d love to hear from you.

How to apply

Please submit your CV along with a cover letter (maximum 700 words) that clearly demonstrates how you meet the job description and person specification. We're keen to learn about your experience, and see your ability to write clear, engaging, and concise copy, so staying within the word limit is essential.

Please send your application to Anita Maddox, Human Resources Consultant, at [email protected]

Closing date: 5pm on 3 December 2025.

Interview date

First round: 9 and 10 December, online

Second round: 17 December, in person

Benefits

• Annual leave allowance of 25 days (excluding public holidays), increasing by one day per year up to a maximum of 30 days.
• One day paid wellbeing day per year to provide you with dedicated time to focus on your own mental and physical wellbeing.
• One day paid leave per year to undertake voluntary work within the community or to support any reasonable charitable institution or cause.
• Enrolment into a pension scheme provided by Aviva (Employer = 6.5% / Employee = 5%).
• Opportunities for learning and development.
• A wide range of discounts from leading brands via Perkbox.
• A number of staff social events throughout the year.
• Well-behaved dogs are allowed to be brought to the workplace on a regular basis subject to agreement and various conditions being met.
• Roles at BVA are hybrid. This typically means spending around 40% of your working hours each month in our London office - a beautiful period building close to Oxford Circus, Regent’s Park, and Marylebone High Street.
