Make a Difference for Farm Animals
Farm Sanctuary’s dedicated team works from sanctuaries and offices across the country. We are honored to have an amazing group of people with a great range of skills and experience working hard every day to promote the understanding of farm animals.
The broad nature of our work leads to a diverse set of career opportunities — our team focuses on everything from ensuring a safe, warm bed every night for every sanctuary resident to lobbying congressional representatives, from providing round-the-clock medical care to injured farm animals to sharing their stories with thousands of visitors … and so much more. Whether on the shelter, out with the public, or behind the scenes ensuring that the organization runs efficiently and effectively, our team contributes every day to continue our success in protecting farm animals from cruelty, inspiring change in the way society understands oppression and how it relates to the treatment of farm animals, and promoting compassionate vegan living.
One of the best opportunities that comes with working with a team like Farm Sanctuary’s is the experience of collaborating with some of the most passionate and driven people. We work not just to challenge how farm animals are viewed, but to challenge each other in how we show up everyday for the animals, for the community and for each other. If this sounds like a team you’d like to be a part of, see below for our current opportunities.

Farm Sanctuary's Interview Guide
Please take a look at our interview guide to learn more about our hiring and interview process.
Farm Sanctuary's commitment to DE&I in recruiting
All hiring managers are required to participate in diversity, equity, and inclusion training prior to evaluating candidates. This training includes defining different forms of bias (confirmation bias, halo effect bias, implicit bias, etc.) and strategies to minimize bias in the recruiting and interview process. We understand the importance of structured hiring, which is why every candidate is assessed using clear scorecards. We use scorecards to assess each individual, so that everyone is being evaluated based on the same criteria. We require hiring managers to support their scorecards with examples so that they are being as objective as possible in the assessment. We believe this is the most effective way to make data-driven hiring decisions. We are committed to making our process as equitable and inclusive as possible.
