RSPCA Assured is the RSPCA’s not-for-profit farm animal welfare assurance scheme and ethical food label. RSPCA Assured is vital in helping the RSPCA achieve its strategic ambition for more than 50% of farmed animals in the UK to be reared to the RSPCA’s strict welfare standards. When you see an RSPCA Assured label on a meat, fish or dairy product, it means the hatchery, farm, haulier and abattoir have been assessed and confirmed by our team of experienced assessors to have met the RSPCA’s higher farm animal welfare standards. The welfare standards cover every aspect of the animals’ lives, from their health and diet to environment and care. RSPCA Assured encourages farmers, hauliers, abattoirs and other businesses in the food supply chain to join the scheme. We also promote awareness with consumers so the RSPCA Assured label makes it easy for them to choose products from animals that have had a better life. Currently 94% of the public chooses to eat meat. Together with the RSPCA, we’re encouraging people to ‘eat less, eat better’. Alongside our 4,000 members, our retail, foodservice and other partners, the RSPCA Assured scheme has done more to drive up farmed animal welfare standards than any other organisation. We have made good progress in 2024 whilst facing significant external challenges. Our four key strategic building blocks include a new species growth strategy, a new commercial framework, organisational resource alignment and on-going cultural transformation. These will enable us to accelerate our transformation. To help us achieve this and further improve our governance arrangements, we are now seeking to recruit two new Trustees. To be successful as a Trustee you will have a proven track record of strategic leadership and a sophisticated understanding of governance. We are particularly interested in individuals from a commercial background ideally with exposure to innovative uses of Technology and Data or an RCVS Qualified vet with experience in animal welfare as an academic and practitioner would be particularly advantageous. 1 day per month.
