The Brooke

The Brooke is the UK’s leading overseas working equine welfare charity, dedicated to improving the lives of horses, donkeys and mules working in some of the poorest communities in the world. On average six or more people depend on the income generated through the work of each animal and so by improving animal welfare, the lives of poor people in the developing world are improved.

Our goal is to increase the number of working animals we reach from 1,100,000 every year to 2 million suffering horses, donkeys and mules in the most need in the developing world by 2016.

Role:

This is a broad and interesting role for a dynamic HR generalist who will lead and manage the UK HR team to provide a quality HR service for the charity both in the UK and internationally to help promote a high performing culture and to drive change.

You will have a solid generalist HR background with excellent practical working knowledge of UK employment law and ideally will have had exposure to international HR issues. In order to excel in this post, you should have a commitment to continuous improvement and as a member of the Management Group; you will work on wider organisational issues to support the charity to meet new challenges and to achieve stretching goals.

You will have excellent knowledge of employment law with a CIPD qualification (or equivalent through experience). The post holder will need to hit the ground running, so it is essential that you have strong communication and influencing skills and the ability to build productive working relationships at all levels, have a flexible attitude and be an excellent team player.

If you would like to work for an ambitious international charity committed to achieving excellence through its people we would love to hear from you.
