ABOUT LUMOS

Lumos is an international children’s charity founded in 2005 by the author J.K. Rowling to end the harmful practice of institutionalisation of children. Lumos’ mission is to fight for every child’s right to a family by transforming care systems around the world.  Our vision is for all children to grow up in safe and loving families. 

Despite clear evidence of the harms of institutionalisation, an estimated 5.4 million children worldwide continue to live in institutions. Separated from their families and communities, these children are deprived of the love, attention and opportunities they need to thrive. Our three-pronged approach is to prevent family separation, to protect children and to promote care reform. We’ve made important progress in closing harmful institutions and reuniting children with their families. And where children are unable to live with their birth families, we promote alternative family-based care, such as kinship care and quality foster care.  Thanks to our tireless efforts alongside many other champions of care reform, the harms of institutionalisation are now more widely understood. A global movement is underway and the UN, the EU and some large development agencies have joined individual countries in pledging to change how they care for vulnerable children.  We are committed to ensuring that global policy commitments are translated into local action, leading to sustainable change for vulnerable children.

JOB PURPOSE

The Communications Manager will play a pivotal role in telling Lumos’ story to the world, shaping messages that inspire action, connecting global audiences, and amplifying our mission to transform the lives of children. This role blends strategic thinking with creative storytelling to support Lumos’ global fundraising, programmatic, advocacy and organisational goals. 

Working closely with colleagues, key stakeholders, journalists and freelancers, the Communications Manager will craft top quality, engaging content across our channels, with a strong focus on editorial, media, and internal communications. They will lead the production and dissemination of global communications content and provide editorial guidance on key production projects to ensure every message is impactful, consistent, and aligned with Lumos’ values.

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK. Please note that feedback will only be provided to candidates who attend an interview.

If you require any reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process, please let us know so we can discuss your needs.

Please submit your application by the closing date of 9th September 2025.
