About Global Health Partnerships
Global Health Partnerships is a UK-registered charity with nearly four decades of experience connecting NHS institutions, diaspora health workers, Royal Colleges, and government partners with counterparts across Africa, Asia, and beyond. We strengthen health systems, build the evidence base for UK investment in global health, and work at the interface of domestic and international health policy. Our network includes 256 confirmed MCH health workers across 32 institutions, established relationships with RCOG, RCM, RCN, and NHS England, and a track record of supporting the APPG on Global Health and Security. We are a trusted, non-partisan intermediary between UK clinical communities and policymakers.
Why this is an exceptional opportunity
This is a rare and timely role for a senior external affairs and communications professional who wants to make a direct, measurable difference to global health. You will be joining Global Health Partnerships at a pivotal moment, as we launch an ambitious advocacy programme, with the backing of a major foundation and a network of frontline NHS clinicians and health institutions.
This is not a general communications role. It is a specialist advocacy and policy influence position, focused on translating evidence and health worker experience into parliamentary and media impact. If you want to shape how UK politicians and the public think about global health and see that shift lead to real changes in funding and policy, this is the role for you.
Job purpose
Reporting to the Deputy Chief Executive, you will lead GHP’s external affairs and communications function across the full range of the organisation’s strategic priorities. This includes designing and executing GHP’s advocacy strategy for priority programmes — with the Every Mother, Everywhere MCH programme as the flagship — while also building GHP’s broader profile as the leading UK voice on NHS institutional partnerships, health workforce policy, and the mutual benefit case for UK investment in global health. You will manage GHP’s relationships with key stakeholders in parliament, government, and the media, and ensure that GHP’s full portfolio of work is visible, compelling, and connected to the policy arguments that matter most to funders and decision-makers.
You will oversee GHP’s secretariat relationship with the APPG on Global Health and Security, develop and support networks of health worker and diaspora advocates, lead media and parliamentary engagement, and coordinate a coalition of civil society, clinical, and community organisations around shared advocacy priorities. With the communications team, you will also work closely with the fundraising and programmes teams to ensure GHP’s communications and public profile actively support income diversification and donor engagement across institutional, trust, and corporate funding streams.
While the immediate priority is our Maternal and Child Health Advocacy programme and its parliamentary and media objectives, this role carries wider organisational responsibility for GHP’s positioning, reputation, and voice in public discourse on global health. The postholder will line manage the Communications Manager and be accountable for the coherence of GHP’s external communications across all channels and programmes.
For full details on the role, including the Person Specification please look at our job pack.
What we offer:
As well as your salary which is paid monthly, you'll also get:
How to apply:
Please apply with a CV and a covering letter of no more than two pages by 10th July 2026.
Your covering letter should address the following: why you are interested in this role at this moment; how your experience of external affairs is relevant to GHP’s organisational priorities; what you understand to be the strongest argument for UK investment in global health and how you would build political and public support for it.
GHP is committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion in our recruitment. We particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of the communities and health systems our work engages with.
