• Advise & motivate on site: You conduct consultations throughout Switzerland, meet animal keepers at eye level, educate and accompany change processes directly on site.

• Solid foundation: Completed training or experience in the field of animal protection and animal husbandry (e.g. farmer, TPA, animal keeper, official specialist assistant (AFA) or official expert (AFE) animal protection, police officer with experience in animal protection or comparable qualification).
• Legal certainty: Good knowledge of Swiss animal protection law as well as the motivation to apply it effectively in practice.
• Communication skills & empathy: Negotiation skills, assertiveness and sensitivity – you appear confident and winning even in demanding or emotional situations.
• Analytical thinking & discretion: A solution-oriented, structured way of working, digital proficiency as well as absolute reliability and confidentiality.
• Mobility & anchoring: Residence in the Zurich area, Eastern Switzerland or Central Switzerland, driving licence category B and own vehicle (available).
• Language skills: Business fluent German in spoken and written form; additional languages are a plus.

What awaits you with us: Space for development and meaning

• Maximally meaningful work: Every resolved case and every consultation directly improves the living conditions of animals in Switzerland.
