About Hope and Homes for Children:
Hope and Homes for Children are leading a global movement that will make it possible for every child to grow up with a loving family. We fight for every child to feel the love and belonging of a safe family home.
Since 1994, Hope and Homes for Children has been working to stop the institutionalisation of children. The world doesn’t need orphanages. They harm children and they harm society. And shockingly, 8 out of 10 children in orphanages have family members who would care for them – but a broken system hoards money, makes false promises, and keeps children neglected and families exploited.
We’re 200 people, in multiple countries, inspiring organisations, including the UN, EU and governments around the world, to close the doors of orphanages forever.
Location: Hope and Homes for Children’s London office, with flexibility and home working options for part of the week.
Contract Type: Permanent
Hours: 22.5 hours per week, with flexibility, as we have generous flexible and home working practices.
Salary: £22,000 to £24,000 per annum, pro rata
Closing Date: The final cut off for applications is 17th April 2023 so please get in touch if you have the right skills, experience and passion for our cause.
To apply, please upload your CV and a brief cover letter (no longer than 1 page) which briefly summarises your passion for social media, how you meet the person specification and why you’d like this role. Please note, only applications with a cover letter will be considered.

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.
If you are care-experienced and have the essential skills and experience to do the job, we will invite you to an interview. We are always looking for applications from care-experienced individuals.
