About IHP
Most of us can readily access the medicines we need. But around the world, many easily treatable diseases can mean chronic pain, poor quality of life or even a death sentence. International Health Partners (IHP) helps people in hard-to-reach, vulnerable and disaster-hit communities get better access to medicine. We coordinate the safe and responsible donation of medicines and health care supplies to where the needs are greatest, saving lives and preventing avoidable suffering.
In the last three years, IHP has sent over 27 million treatments to vulnerable communities around the world – places such as Yemen, South Sudan and Haiti. We run multiple partnerships to support this work – with pharmaceutical companies who donate medicines, our logistics partners who help us warehouse and ship the medicines overseas and finally our valued NGO partners and individual medics delivering healthcare to those who need it. Together these partnerships enable medicines to reach those in need.
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. IHP is an Equal Opportunities Employer. Staff regularly spend time together praying for IHP’s work and there is an occupational requirement for the post holder to have a personal commitment to the Christian faith. You need to have the right to work in the UK.
If you would like to work in a great organisation and have a big impact please apply now.

In short, IHP is a great place to work and the role we play is genuinely rewarding.
