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. It motivates us to care for those in need, and give our best in all circumstances, as an expression of God's love. 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. This income came from a range of sources including institutional donors, corporate grants (mainly healthcare companies who also donate medicines and healthcare supplies), trusts and foundations, partner NGOs, and individuals.
To support our continued growth, we are looking to appoint an experienced (min 4 years), dynamic Senior Programme Funding Officer with a track record of managing and growing partnerships and income. We need someone who can speak the language of development, build our internal capacity and bring their technical expertise. This is a new role and so you have an opportunity to make a real impact.
This is an exciting time to join the organisation as we recently celebrated our 20th Anniversary year and look to a future of growth and building on our past achievements.
About the role
You will build on our current funding relationships and will specifically drive forward our institutional fundraising to meet agreed income targets. That means bringing your experience in the sector to relationship building, technical grant applications and contract management. You will guide and oversee bid development and ensure we have a strong case for support for IHP Programmes.
