Trustees

We are the RSPCA’s farm animal welfare assurance scheme and the only farm assurance scheme in the UK dedicated solely to improving farm animal welfare. Together with our parent organisation, the RSPCA, we have recently announced ambitious and bold priorities for the next ten years, which include seeing more than half of all UK farm animals reared to RSPCA welfare standards by 2030.

Working together with our members, retailers and foodservice partners will be pivotal in achieving this target.  The popularity of ethical products continues to grow: in 2021, sales of RSPCA Assured products increased by more than 26%, and a record level of shoppers (62%) recognised the RSPCA Assured logo. And, while the challenges facing people working in the world of food and farming continue, with Covid 19, Brexit, Avian Influenza and African Swine Flu each presenting their own unique problems, we remain highly focused on our new goal as we continue to evolve and modernize.

We have a new leadership team in place. We have just welcomed a new Executive Director and building upon a recent governance review we have just appointed two new Trustees, and a Treasurer who will chair a newly created Finance and Risk Committee. To help further improve our governance arrangements we are now seeking to recruit a number of new Trustees.

To be successful as a Trustee you will have a proven track record of strategic leadership, strong communication and influencing skills and a sophisticated understanding of leadership, management and governance.  We are particularly interested in individuals who have a track record of adding value, driving growth and organisational change. A background in and around Technology, Digital, Data and Retail would be particularly advantageous. These are wonderful opportunities to play a significant role at an exciting time of growth and change.

If you feel you have the drive, skills and experience to help us advance the changes we are seeking to make, please read the Appointment Brief  for more information and how to apply.

Closing date for all applications is Sunday 3rd March 2024
