About Starlight

Starlight is the UK’s leading children’s healthcare charity focused on the power of play. We support children to experience moments of joy and resilience through play during hospital stays, treatment and recovery. Play helps children cope, reduces trauma and anxiety, and improves engagement with healthcare.

Despite its impact, play is often overlooked in healthcare settings. Our work ensures that every child’s right to play is protected and prioritised – because play isn’t just fun, it’s fundamental.

Our Culture

We believe that our success depends upon focusing on our purpose and business results. We take individual and collective responsibility for a culture where everyone can belong, feel safe and thrive. Our values are the agreed standards that govern our behaviour and are central to our decision-making and the choices that we make. Our colleague development programme focuses on individual awareness of our own values, strengths, and preferences –what makes us who we are – to help all colleagues think for themselves, manage their environment, and make appropriate, balanced decisions for themselves, others and Starlight. We believe that our strength is in our differences and constantly strive towards an authentic workplace culture with equity, diversity, and inclusion as central principles.

This is a varied role which will offer the successful candidate exposure to a wide range of tasks and responsibilities, including bank reconciliations, financial and performance reporting, some data upkeep and systems improvements.

Administration (~20% of role)

• Maintain all accounts on UK portals (Benevity, Charities Aid Foundation, etc) and process, track and reconcile all portal donations, soft crediting these where necessary.

• Suggest changes or improvements to both financial and administrative processes (including automations) to increase accuracy, efficiency and potential cost reductions, then implement where agreed.

• Support with HR administration - keeping personnel and Trustee files up to date, keeping records of sickness, holidays and other absences, drafting new policies.

Philanthropy & Partnerships Development Manager (referred to internally as Partnerships Development Manager (New Business))
 
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:

This is an exciting new business role which has emerged in our newly formed Philanthropy and Partnerships team. As our Partnerships Development Manager (New Business), you will be confident and credible at senior levels, adept at storytelling, relationship building and able to drive transformational philanthropic partnerships to secure five or six-figure and multi-year commitments. This will help take the organisation from an annual income of £10m to £15m over the next 3-5 years to accelerate and expand Hope and Homes for Children’s impact for children and families.
 
About you:

Personable, creative and a strategic thinker, you’ll drive a proactive focus on prospecting, identifying, and engaging new philanthropists and partners to build a robust and diverse pipeline of high-value donors. Resilience and determination will be key.
 
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: Location flexible but with regular attendance required each month at one of our UK offices as needed
Contract Type: Permanent
Hours: 37.5 hours per week (4 days will be considered)
Salary: £37,000 to £42,000 per annum pro rata, including any London weighting if applicable.
 
Next Steps: To apply, please upload your CV and a brief covering letter indicating why you're interested in joining us and (reflecting on the role profile) why you believe your skills and experience make you suitable for the role.
 
Closing Date: The final cut off for applications is 12 July 2025.

Other information: This post requires the successful candidate to have, or be able to obtain, the right to work in the UK.
 
Hope and Homes for Children actively encourages diversity, equity and inclusion, and we look to recruit a diverse range of people to reflect the communities in which we live, as we believe this will strengthen our ability to deliver our mission of eliminating orphanages.
