Job Description

Philanthropy & Partnerships Development Manager (referred to internally as Partnerships Development Manager (New Business))

Every child belongs in a family. At Hope and Homes for Children, we're working towards a world where orphanages have no place, where children grow up with love, belonging, and hope for the future. We're a trailblazer in global care reform, and now we're looking for a passionate, people-first fundraiser to help bring even more supporters into this mission.

About the role:

This is an exciting new business role which has emerged in our newly formed Philanthropy and Partnerships team. As our Partnerships Development Manager (New Business), you will be confident and credible at senior levels, adept at storytelling, relationship building and able to drive transformational philanthropic partnerships to secure five or six-figure and multi-year commitments. This will help take the organisation from an annual income of 10m to 15m over the next 3-5 years to accelerate and expand Hope and Homes for Children's impact for children and families.

About you:

Personable, creative and a strategic thinker, you'll drive a proactive focus on prospecting, identifying, and engaging new philanthropists and partners to build a robust and diverse pipeline of high-value donors. Resilience and determination will be key.


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 approximately 240 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.
