The Belay Foundation supports adoptive, kinship and special guardianship families raising children who have experienced early developmental trauma, often alongside neurodiversity. Founded in 2020 from lived experience, Belay offers something many families struggle to find elsewhere: practical, in-home support and expert guidance that’s genuinely trauma-responsive, delivered by people who understand what these families are living through.

This is an exciting opportunity to join us at a pivotal stage in our development. Over the past year, we have strengthened our services, systems and organisational foundations and developed ambitious plans for the future. As we continue to grow our reach and impact, we're looking for an experienced Communications and Engagement Manager to help tell our story, strengthen our profile and build meaningful relationships with the families, partners and supporters who make our work possible.

Working closely with our Chief Executive Officer, you'll lead our communications, marketing and stakeholder engagement activity, helping more families discover our services while supporting fundraising, partnerships and organisational growth. You'll also play a key role in embedding lived experience across our communications and engagement, ensuring the voices of families remain at the heart of everything we do.

This is a home-based role for two days per week (0.4 FTE), offering flexibility alongside the opportunity to shape a growing national charity. There may be potential to increase the hours over time, subject to funding, making this an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to grow with the organisation. This is a home‑based role, but applicants must be permanently based, and have the right to work, in the United Kingdom. For legal, tax, and operational reasons, we cannot consider applications from outside the UK.

If you're a creative and strategic communicator who enjoys building relationships, creating compelling content and using communications to drive social impact, we'd love to hear from you.

Please see the Candidate Application Pack for further details, including the full job description and the application/ interview process.

Senior Grants Partnerships Manager

Salary: £45,200 – £50,500 per annum, including London weighting where applicable, dependent on experience

Location: Fully flexible, with occasional travel to our Salisbury or London office, plus national and international travel as required (up to 10–20% of working time)

Working pattern: 30–37.5 hours per week, with flexible and home working arrangements. Permanent contract.

Hope and Homes for Children is looking for an ambitious, relationship-driven fundraiser to lead high-value global partnerships and help millions of separated children get back to family. We have a compelling proposition; we're looking for someone with a compelling track record in generating trusts and foundations income.

About the role

As our Senior Grants Partnerships Manager, you'll own a portfolio of up to ten large trusts, foundations and institutional funders at six and seven figure level, deepening existing relationships while opening up new ones across North America, the Gulf States, East Asia, Northern Europe and the UK.

Working closely alongside our Programmes and Advocacy colleagues, and sitting within the Programmes team so you're close to the work itself, you'll research and win new donors, shape compelling proposals and steward the relationships that follow. You'll also lead on assigned institutional funding relationships, contribute to our income growth strategy and help position HHC as the partner of choice for those investing in child rights and social care reform globally.

It's a role with real ownership, and your contribution will go straight to what matters most: helping millions of separated children get back to family.

What you'll bring

You'll have a proven track record of securing five, six and seven figure grants from large foundations, trusts and institutional donors. You'll be able to write and develop high-quality proposals and manage complex budgets. Your relationship management skills will be exceptional, and you'll know how to convey HHC's mission compellingly to a wide range of senior audiences.

You'll be collaborative and culturally empathetic, comfortable working across teams, and equally at ease leading face-to-face cultivation as you are driving prospect research and pipeline development. Most importantly, you'll share our conviction that every child belongs in a family, and understand that every partnership you build and every proposal you win brings us closer to consigning orphanages to history.

About Hope and Homes for Children

Orphanages don't protect children, they harm them. The last thing an orphanage can provide is the first thing a child needs: someone to love them. Decades of evidence shows that the bond between a child and their family is vital for their development, and that orphanages subject children to high levels of abuse and neglect.

Today, over 5.4 million children are confined to orphanages worldwide, and more than 80% of them are not orphans at all. Children belong in families. They need protection, encouragement, play, laughter and love: somewhere to call home and someone to love them. You can help us make this a reality for children.

Additional information

This post requires the post holder to have, or be able to obtain, the right to work in the UK, and may be subject to a DBS check.

Closing date: 17:00 on Friday 11th September 2026.

There will be a two-stage interview process: first round interviews on 22nd or 23rd September, a written exercise on 24th or 25th September, and final interviews on 29th September.

Should you require any reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process, please let us know and we will be happy to help.

Hope and Homes for Children actively encourages diversity, equity and inclusion, and looks to recruit a diverse range of people to reflect the communities in which we live, believing this will strengthen its ability to deliver its mission of eliminating orphanages.

You may have experience of the following: Trusts and Foundations Manager, Major Gifts Manager, Institutional Partnerships Manager, Philanthropy Manager, Senior Fundraising Manager, Grants and Trusts Manager, High Value Partnerships Manager, Corporate and Trusts Fundraiser, Foundation Relations Manager, International Development Fundraising Manager
