Job description
Lead global change for children by driving income, influence and partnerships to help end orphanages worldwide.
Location: Hybrid / remote working with regular travel to the London or Wilton office for meetings, or office-based with flexible and home-working options for part of the week
Applications close: 9 a.m. Monday 15th June 2026
About Hope and Homes for Children
For over 30 years, hope has driven Hope and Homes for Children to fight for every child to grow up in the love of a safe, family home and to inspire the world to close the doors of orphanages forever.
Because orphanages harm children.
Across the world, millions of children are confined in institutions where they are isolated from their communities and denied the care they need to thrive. Many experience neglect. Too many experience violence. These systems are not designed around children; they are run as institutions, not families.
But this can change.
Hope and Homes for Children works with governments and partners to transform childcare systems, closing orphanages and supporting family and community-based care. This approach has already led to the dramatic reduction of institutional care in countries such as Romania, Bulgaria and Rwanda.
Our vision is undimmed: a world in which children no longer suffer in orphanages.
About the role
This is a mission-critical leadership role at the heart of Hope and Homes for Children’s global ambition.
As Director of Global Marketing, Communications and Fundraising, you will ensure the organisation is positioned as a catalyst for the global elimination of orphanages — and that this positioning drives significant, sustainable income growth.
You will lead a diverse global function spanning philanthropy, corporate partnerships, supporter development, campaigns and events, setting and delivering a multi-year strategy that strengthens brand, influence and financial resilience.
Your leadership will directly enable the organisation to accelerate progress towards ending the institutionalisation of children worldwide.
Who we are looking for
We are looking for an exceptional leader who combines strategic insight, entrepreneurial drive and a deep commitment to our mission.
You will bring significant senior experience across fundraising, marketing and communications, with a proven track record of growing income and building impactful partnerships in complex environments. You will be values-led and collaborative, with the credibility and presence to act as a senior ambassador for the organisation.
Above all, you will be motivated by the opportunity to deliver lasting change for children.
EDI at Hope and Homes for Children
We’re fully committed to working actively against all forms of discrimination and providing equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of their background.
We aim to provide an inclusive and empathetic environment where all staff feel that they can be their authentic selves, that they don’t need to change who they are to be accepted by others and that they are equally supported to achieve their potential.
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.
Please click on the link to be redirected to the Peridot Partners website, where you will find full details of the role and how to apply.
Applications for this role close at 9 a.m. Monday 15th June 2026.
