Hope and Homes for Children is looking for for an exceptionally well organised, multi-tasker who will provide outstanding administrative support on a range of projects, working with multiple stakeholders.
You will divide your time between working directly with our Director of Global Marketing, Communications and Fundraising to provide exceptional executive level administrative support, including diary management; preparing internal and external communications and co-ordinating the management of critical cross team processes and supporting our wider MCF team on specific projects.
You will be joining a brave, can-do organisation, and an ambitious, collaborative and multiskilled team. You’ll be encouraged to think and act big, and you’ll be mandated and supported to do what’s needed to achieve our mission. You’ll work with dedicated, passionate champions who are ready to take bold steps to inspire change - advocating for our cause, engaging individuals and organisations across the globe in the foundational importance of family love for children.
With a good eye for detail, confidence in a range of IT packages, excellent communication and project coordination skills and a proactive approach, you will be as comfortable self-directing your work, based on agreed priorities, as you are working to a brief as part of cross-team project group. The successful candidate will bring a flexible and energetic approach to our vital work to support children and families.
About Hope and Homes for Children:
Orphanages don’t protect children, they harm them. Put simply: the last thing an orphanage can provide is the first thing a child needs - someone to love them.
Science shows what we all know, that the bond between a child and their family is vital for their development. Decades of evidence proves that orphanages harm children, subjecting them to high levels of sexual and physical abuse, as well as extreme neglect.
Children always belong in families. They need protection, encouragement, play, laughter and love. They need somewhere to call home and someone to love them. You can help us make this a reality for children.
