Head of Public Affairs

The League Against Cruel Sports is the only charity dedicated to exposing and ending cruel sports.  We celebrate 90 years in 2014, and during that period we have evolved from a group of passionate volunteers to a professional charity dedicated to improving the lives of animals by forcing society to rethink how it uses animals for sport. Our greatest achievement to date was the passing of the Hunting Act 2004, which banned the hunting of animals with dogs for sport, and for which we were instrumental in campaigning.

You will manage a team of three, working across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
