Every child belongs in a family. At Hope and Homes for Children, we’re working towards a world where orphanages have no place, where children grow up with love, belonging, and hope for the future. We're a trailblazer in global care reform, and now we're looking for a passionate, people-first fundraiser to help bring even more supporters into this mission.

About the role:

As Philanthropy & Partnerships Manager, you’ll nurture deep and meaningful relationships with high-net-worth individuals and partners. You’ll craft bespoke donor journeys that connect people to our cause in ways that are personal, emotional, and unforgettable, helping us unlock vital support and inspire transformational giving.

You’ll take the lead on cultivating and managing a portfolio of major donors and prospects, ensuring each one feels connected to our work and sees the difference they’re making. From first conversations to milestone gifts, you’ll guide each relationship with creativity, care and purpose.

You'll also help shape the next chapter of our growth—strategically identifying new opportunities, building relationships from scratch, and designing tailored engagement plans that reflect each donor’s values and potential.

You'll work closely with colleagues across fundraising, programmes and leadership—joining up the dots between donor passions and our most urgent funding needs.

About you:

You will have a strong track record in major donor fundraising and proven success in securing significant gifts from HNWIs. You will have outstanding interpersonal and communication skills and be a collaborative and curious team player, who is passionate for our mission for the dignity and potential of every child.

About Hope and Homes for Children:

We believe children belong in families, never orphanages. Because orphanages harm children. The majority of those who experience life inside an institution suffer violence, abuse and neglect. Denied the chance to grow up in a family, they’re more likely to become homeless later in life, to have run-ins with the law, and to experience mental and physical health issues.

The shocking truth is that these are almost always children who have, or could have, a family to look after them. To love them. But every day, a broken system puts pressure on parents to give up their children. They'll be safe from war, can escape poverty, will get an education. False promises. No child should have to trade their family for their future.

Today, over 5.4 million children are trapped within institutions. It’s not right and it must stop. Children deserve so much better. Always.

Since 1994, Hope and Homes for Children has been working to stop the institutionalisation of children. We’re approximately 240 people, in ten countries, inspiring organisations, including the UN, EU and governments around the world, to close the doors of orphanages forever. Instead, we fight for every child to feel the love and belonging of a safe family home.

Further details:

Location: Office based in London or Salisbury, but with generous home working / hybrid options available
Contract Type: Maternity Cover - FTC of up to 1 year
Hours: 37.5 hours per week (4 days will be considered)

Closing Date:  The final cut off for applications is 22 May 2025.

4. Preparing some financial reports and accounts. This includes accounts to trial balance, and ad hoc reports from Xero when our team have finance queries or need support

5. Supporting with finance projects which make our finance systems work more efficiently, simply and sustainably e.g. helping to update our budget spreadsheets and approach to budgeting, or moving to a new bank

6. Supporting the Head of Finance with budgets, financial planning and reports and any other ad hoc finance tasks

• Excellence is important to you and it shows in your work. Whatever you do, you do it to a high standard

• You have strong organisational and time-management skills that are required to manage multiple tasks and deadlines. And you are comfortable moving between different paces of work - slower, more methodical work and quicker turnaround work
