About Tree of Hope: ‘Bridging The Gap’ in Children and Young People’s Healthcare

Tree of Hope is a UK children and young people’s healthcare charity dedicated to helping families secure the funding and support they need for their seriously ill and disabled children.

Far too many families are falling through the cracks.

‘Bridging the Gap’ is our commitment to tackling this. Our strategy is focused on expanding our reach, improving access to funding, and building stronger community networks so that more families can secure the vital treatments and support they need sooner. We are determined to make sure that no family is left behind.

Why Join Us

At Tree of Hope, we believe that every family should have equal access to the healthcare they need. To make that happen, we have built a team that is guided by our values of Respect, Dedication, Integrity, Compassion, and Collaboration. These values shape everything we do, from how we support families to how we work together as a team.

We believe that great work should be celebrated. Through our Kudos platform, team members recognise and appreciate each other's contributions every day. Our Annual Staff Awards go even further, shining a light on everyone’s contribution over the year.

GOOD CAUSE:
Working for Movember, you’ll help raise millions for men’s health (not for a CEO’s bonus). And all those dollars do a whole lotta good. We’ve funded cancer research. Created lifesaving medicines. And helped make cancer treatments less “one-size-fits-all”, and more specific to each patient’s needs.

We’re even calling for governments worldwide to get it together on men’s health. By meeting directly with policymakers so they change the systems that change men’s health.

GOOD VIBES:
The vibes aren’t just for Fridays – even though we start weekends early nine months of the year. Here, it always feels like something big’s about to happen. Be it an office-wide surprise birthday party (with cake!) or an impromptu all-staff boogie.

Come the hairy season, the energy gets silly. We’re talking celebrity visits. Live stunts on-site for TV and radio. And when we hit a fundraising milestone, the office gong might even go off. And that means one thing: it’s conga time.

GOOD CREW:
Let’s just get this out of the way: big egos need not apply. We’re all about straight-up solid human beings out to do meaningful work. People who’ll help you reach career-best moments. And give you the freedom to get there the best way you see fit.

Hybrid remote working is the norm. And in the office, you can sit where you please. Who knows? On any given day you could even end up desk buddies with the man who started this all.

We offer:

• Hybrid/Flexible working – we offer our team a split of home and office working
• 13 weeks paid Parental Leave and 6 weeks annual leave
• Health Cash Plan – to support the costs of everyday healthcare needs (dental, optical, wellbeing)
• An Employee Assistance Programme offering face to face counselling, plus legal and financial support
• A fun stimulating and collaborating culture, with company events
• Service awards after 3, 5 and 10 years
• Committees to join – Culture team, Diversity Equity & Inclusion, Movember book group
• Bike to work scheme
• Half day Fridays for 9 months of the year

Boy, do we know the feeling of being judged. (Over how we look, and other things that shouldn’t matter.) Being different is how we started. And it’s also helped us raise $1 billion for men’s health. So, we know the power of diverse experiences, skills and perspectives.

Movember is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community and workplace - a place where we can all be ourselves, and each have the equal opportunity to succeed and be recognised for our unique contribution. We value the experiences, skills and perspectives of all individuals and actively encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds. We make recruitment decisions based on applicants’ skills, experience and knowledge, ensuring all applicants are treated fairly.
