About Global Health Partnerships (GHP)
Global Health Partnerships (GHP) is a UK-registered charity with nearly four decades of experience connecting NHS institutions, diaspora health workers, Royal Colleges, and government partners with counterparts across Africa, Asia, and beyond. We strengthen health systems, build the evidence base for UK investment in global health, and work at the interface of domestic and international health policy. Our programmes include the Experts in Our Midst (EIOM) initiative supporting internationally recruited NHS staff, a growing portfolio of NHS institutional health partnerships across 31 countries, and a parliamentary advocacy programme on global maternal and child health. We are a trusted, non-partisan intermediary between UK clinical communities and policymakers.

Why this is an exceptional opportunity
This is a rewarding and varied role for a strategic communications professional who wants to make a real difference to global health. You will be joining Global Health Partnerships at a pivotal moment — as we launch an ambitious new parliamentary advocacy programme on maternal and child health, rebrand following our transition from THET, and build our profile as the leading UK voice on NHS institutional partnerships and global health workforce policy.

You will lead GHP's day-to-day communications function while working closely with the new Senior External Affairs and Communications Lead to translate our programmes and evidence into compelling stories, campaigns, and content that reach parliamentarians, funders, journalists, and the public. If you want a communications role where your work directly shapes policy outcomes, this is it.


Job Purpose
Reporting to the Senior External Affairs and Communications Lead, you will lead GHP's communications function, ensuring that the organisation's work is consistently, compellingly, and strategically communicated to external audiences — including policymakers, funders, clinical communities, the media, and the public.

You will oversee GHP's digital presence, publications, and content output across all channels, while working in close partnership with the Senior External Affairs and Communications Lead to produce the communications assets — case studies, media materials, social content, campaign copy — that underpin GHP's advocacy priorities, including the Maternal and Child Health Programme.

You will line manage the Digital Marketing Coordinator, providing direction and quality assurance across day-to-day communications activity.
