We are looking for a talented Head of Human Resources to join our team and help millions of separated children get Back to Family.
About the role:
The Head of Human Resources will be responsible for overseeing and advising on all people issues, and leading on people strategies, learning and development, and talent management. As a member of the Senior Management Team, you will be responsible for evolving and delivering our people strategy and plans focussed on attraction, retention, performance, and development, as well as our work on wellbeing and equity, diversity, and inclusion.

This is a chance to make a real impact in a collaborative and ambitious organisation who is proud of what we do and the difference we make.

You will be a dynamic leader who is able to work both strategically and operationally, you will be highly collaborative in your approach and a pragmatist who instinctively knows where to add value. You will be able to act as a key sounding board for senior managers across the organisation, facilitating the improvement of leadership qualities and hence individual and collective performance and culture.
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 250 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.
