Animal Welfare
If you’re an animal lover, working in animal welfare is sure to be a hugely rewarding career choice - but it can be daunting trying to find a way in to paid work in the area.
This section will allow you to find out more about animal-related charity organisations, what jobs are available and information about traineeships or graduate schemes that may be available.
Animal welfare charities work to protect endangered species and ensure the welfare of both domestic and wild animals. Animal welfare charities also support assistance animals (guide dogs, for example) and provide pet adoption services.
Animal welfare charities can be involved in everything from investigating and exposing animal cruelty to marine conservation to re-homing abandoned animals – jobs in these areas can include administrative or accountancy work, marketing, campaigning or fundraising.
