ABOUT SARVOHAM:

Sarvoham is an animal welfare organization dedicated to rescuing, medical treatment, rehabilitation, welfare and protection of injured, abandoned, abused and neglected animals living on the streets of Bangalore, India. Sarvoham was established in April 2017 by co-founders Haris Ali & Madhusmita Sahu with a vision to create an inclusive eco-system that co-exists with animals providing them a respectable life that contributes to the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) frameworks and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the planet.

In the past 9 years, Sarvoham has grown from a small charity effort to a well-established animal welfare organization which has rescued more than 3500 street animals, and homes more than 200 dogs at its shelter. Our work extends beyond just rescue; we strive to build a compassionate society through ethical leadership, animal welfare education, community outreach and engagement in addition to advocacy.

Sarvoham means the harmony between all elements of nature, both human and non-human animals, and the organization is guided by the spirit of harmonious coexistence.

ROLE PURPOSE:

Sarvoham Welfare Trust stands at a defining moment in its journey to create a more compassionate world for animals and seeks to expand its impact by building a sustainable ecosystem of partnerships and philanthropy that will enable many more lives to be saved and transformed.

We are looking for an experienced, compassionate and organized Video Content Creator & Editor (Animal Welfare / Documentary Storytelling) who can capture the daily life, rescues, treatments, recoveries, adoptions and behind-the-scenes work at Sarvoham.

5. Equipment Management

- Take proper care of cameras, lenses, lighting equipment, microphones, drones and other video production tools.
- Keep track of equipment, memory cards, batteries and accessories to ensure everything is available when needed.
- Make sure equipment is clean, charged, safely stored and ready for shoots.
- Identify equipment issues, coordinate repairs and recommend replacements when necessary to avoid disruptions to production.

6. Media Organisation and File Management

- Keep all raw footage, edited videos and project files properly organised, labelled and archived.
- Maintain a well-structured digital library so the team can quickly find and reuse footage whenever needed.
- Ensure important media files are backed up securely, both locally and in the cloud.
- Follow consistent file-naming and storage practices to make it easier for the team to access, share and manage video projects.

7. On-Ground and Live Coverage

- Be present on the ground to capture rescue operations, animal rehabilitation, medical care and everyday shelter activities.

PREFERRED BACKGROUNDS:

- Prior experience, professional or volunteer, with an animal welfare organization, shelter, or NGO doing similar rescue/welfare work is a plus.

We are looking for an individual who resonates with this mission and believes that their experience, skills and judgment can genuinely change outcomes for the animals who need it most - leading by example.
