Lead a movement of hope and healing. Transform lives. Build a brand that truly matters.
Are you a strategic storyteller and purpose-driven leader ready to inspire action and grow a globally recognised charity brand?
Mercy Ships UK is on a mission — to double income, triple volunteer engagement, and reach even more patients across sub-Saharan Africa with free, life-changing surgery. As our new Head of Brand and Communications, you won’t just manage messaging — you’ll shape how the world sees and supports this bold, faith-rooted vision of medical transformation.
This is your chance to:
-
Craft campaigns that touch hearts and spark action
-
Lead a creative, high-performing team with integrity and innovation
-
Elevate the voice of a charity changing the narrative on global healthcare
-
Collaborate with global teams to build a brand rooted in love, service, and excellence
We’re not looking for someone who ticks boxes. We want a communications visionary who believes in the power of storytelling, knows how to make a message stick, and is energised by ambitious goals.
If that sounds like you — and you’re ready to be part of something bigger — we’d love to hear from you.
