A great opportunity to join a growing team at SPANA in the new role of People and EDI Manager.

SPANA - The Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad is the global charity for working animals in low-income countries. Since 1923, we have supported the welfare of working animals, including donkeys, horses, camels and elephants, in communities that depend on working animals for water, transport, agriculture and their very survival. Our mission is to transform the welfare of working animals in a world where animals, People and the environment are respected and thrive. Today, we support working animals across 26 countries, through a series of global projects and partnerships.

The People & EDI Manager will be a key member of the Global Operations Team, responsible for effective and efficient Global HR delivery at both a strategic and an operational level across the organisation. Working closely with managers, the postholder will provide support and guidance on staff matters and performance management.

This position plays a critical role in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion with the aim of fostering a culture of inclusiveness and belonging and providing EDI guidance and support to Directors and teams.

The role will support the implementation of organisational initiatives, including L&D, our wellbeing offer and leading on team communication related to HR matters with the wider organisation.

While we classify this role as hybrid, it's worth noting that the vast majority of your work can be done from the comfort of your own home. Occasional in-person visits to our London office (located in Borough High Street), and all-staff gatherings will be necessary. Our full time hours are 34.5 hours per week and we offer core working hours between 10am and 4pm.

You will be minimum CIPD Level 5 qualified, with proven experience in a senior HR role with strong knowledge of EDI best practices. You will have worked for an INGO or similar global non-profit entity, demonstrating leadership skills and a proactive and consultative approach.

As an independent HR consultant, I am assisting with the recruitment for this role. Further information on the role and application process is available on the SPANA website.
