We prioritise the health, safety and wellbeing of our people. Our Health, Safety and Wellbeing Committee meets regularly to support a proactive, compassionate approach to workplace wellbeing. We aim to create an environment where people feel safe, supported and able to bring their whole selves to work.
At the League, our commitment to sustainability and ethical practices reflects our responsibility to animals, to our people, to our community and to the planet. We are led by our values in everything we do - from how we operate and make decisions to how we communicate with each other and the wider world.
Our culture is shaped by our people. In recognition of this, we are proud to have been named in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work (Small Organisations) 2026, reflecting the strong engagement, input and shared commitment of our staff.

Accredited by the Good Business Charter since 2020, our ethical approach underpins how we operate. This includes paying fair tax, ethical sourcing, prompt payment of suppliers, and operating sustainably wherever possible. We are committed to transparency, accountability and doing the right thing for our supporters, staff, partners and animals.

We are a Living Wage employer and committed to fair contracts and fair pay. We regularly review and benchmark our pay and benefits to remain competitive and equitable, and we actively monitor gender, ethnicity and disability pay gaps. We aim to recognise contribution fairly and consistently across the organisation.

We trust our people to work in ways that enable them to do their best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Flexibility in working patterns and location is a core part of how we operate, supported by a strong focus on wellbeing. We offer generous annual leave, compassionate leave for loved ones and pets, sabbatical leave, a work from anywhere scheme and paid volunteering days – recognising that rest, personal circumstances and life outside of work matter.

We are a values-led organisation and we actively encourage openness, collaboration and input from across the team. Staff voice plays a central role in shaping how we work, supported through staff working groups, committees and regular feedback channels. We listen, learn and adapt to ensure everyone feels heard and included.
