Are you passionate about global health & have experience in growing partnerships? Do you have an eye for detail? Then this role could be for you.

IHP’s vision is to see a world in which all suffering due to lack of healthcare is eradicated. Our Christian faith underpins all that we do.

We serve the poor in health without regard for ethnic or religious background, focusing on where the need is greatest. 

In the last 3 years IHP's income of over £5.8m enabled us to reach over 54 million patients in more than 25 countries across the world.
