WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO 
 

United Kingdom for UNHCR is the United Nations Refugee Agency’s national charity partner for the United Kingdom. We generate public awareness of the plight of refugees and raise funds to help protect them through UNHCR’s humanitarian operations across the world.  
 

Our supporters include UK private individuals, communities, corporate partners, trusts and foundations. The funds we raise help UNHCR deliver emergency relief such as shelter, medical care and basic supplies to people fleeing conflict and persecution, as well as healthcare, education and livelihoods opportunities for those who remain displaced over the long term.  
 

Nobody chooses to be a refugee, but we can all play a part in their protection, and we want those who work with us to share our values and passion for the cause.  
 

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION AND BELONGING 
 

We strongly value diversity and recognise that it is critical to our success and the cause that we serve. We are committed to providing an inclusive environment for all who work with us and strongly welcome applications from diverse backgrounds, particularly those with lived experience of being a refugee, asylum seeker, internally displaced person, or a stateless person.   UK for UNHCR is proud to have Diversity & Inclusion Working Group. The Diversity & Inclusion Working Group is a group of colleagues focusing on tasks that drive action in the implementation of our D&I Approach.  The group also works to create safe spaces that brings colleagues together for events, discussions and learning experiences that celebrate and support diversity and tackle barriers to inclusion.

This is a pivotal role in supporting and elevating our philanthropy and partnerships programmes which have seen significant growth in recent years. You will play a key part in helping the Private Partnerships & Philanthropy (PPH) team cultivate meaningful relationships with ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), major donors, foundations, and corporate partners through high-quality events that inspire, engage, and deepen commitment to the refugee cause.
