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 250 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.
Location: Flexible within the UK, with occasional trips to our Salisbury or London offices.
Contract Type: Permanent.
Hours: 30-37.5 hours (4-5 days/week)
Salary: £38,000-£42,000 gross per annum, pro-rata, if part time.
Closing Date:? The final cut off for applications is 12th July 2022.
To apply, please upload your CV and a brief cover letter (500 words max) which briefly summarises your career, how you meet the person specification and why you’d like this role.
Other information: This post requires the post holder to have the right to work in the UK.
HHC actively encourages equality and diversity, and we look to recruit across age, gender, ethnicity, and background as we believe diversity brings us closer to our mission of eliminating orphanages.
