Work with us

The Vegan Society is an anagram of The Nicest Voyage. Quite fitting, we think, as for many people veganism is a journey – and a pretty remarkable one at that. Regardless of where you are on your vegan journey, our staff are on hand to make it easier, healthier and more fun. And if you think you’d be great at helping others with this, read on, as this may be right up your street.

The Vegan Society makes veganism more accessible and an easily adopted approach by supporting individuals, policy and decision makers, caterers, manufacturers, health care professionals and the media.

Who we're looking for

Are you passionate about changing the way we treat animals? Do you want to help reduce damage to our environment? Do you want to get people to enjoy healthy vegan food that looks good and tastes great?

As individuals, we have a somewhat eclectic mix of skills, passions and idiosyncrasies… but it works. Probably because we all have one thing in common: we believe we’re onto something really special.

In order to meet our ambitious plans for the next few years, we need to recruit some new people to our team in our offices near the Jewellery Quarter train/tram station in Birmingham. 

Most of our roles are remote working, with more details provided in the individual job description. 

What we offer

• A fun and supportive team.
• A solution-focused atmosphere and hard-working environment.
• Flexible working hours.
• Employee Assistance Programme and health cash-back scheme.
• Cycle-to-work scheme.
• Animal companion compassionate leave.
• Ethical pension scheme (5-7% employer contribution).
• Death in service benefit.
• 28 days leave + 8 bank holidays.
• Climate Perks Policy (up to 6 days additional paid time off when choosing sustainable transportation for foreign holidays).
• Central Birmingham office location.

The Vegan Society as an organisation values equality, diversity, and inclusion. We want to be an organisation that tackles any structural discrimination or prejudice. We are actively trying to increase diversity in our organisation and encourage applications from all sections of the community.

As users of the disability confident scheme, we guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the vacancy/ies.

Mindful Employer

Established in 2004, Mindful Employer is a UK wide initiative run by Devon Partnership NHS Trust. Providing employers with easier access to professional Workplace Mental Health training, information and support, the initiative aims to help empower employers to take a lead in supporting the mental wellbeing of their staff. By signing the ‘Charter for Employer Positive About Mental Health’, The Vegan Society has made a public statement of its desire to support the mental health of its staff across the organisation.

Working Arrangements

In order to meet our ambitious plans for the next few years, we need to recruit some new people to our team. Our roles are typically home-based; however, some roles will require regular attendance at our office in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham, please see the individual job description for more details.
