About Our Client
Having a child in hospital is an unimaginable experience for any family. Ronald McDonald House Charities UK helps families cope with the practical and emotional challenges they face by easing this burden through the provision of free 'home away from home' accommodation. The charity's ambition is to serve more families, and to serve them better.

How they help
Access to the best medical care for a child is not always available close to home, often requiring families to travel long distances to be with their child in hospital. Ronald McDonald House Charities UK operates 14 Houses across the country, offering families a warm and comfortable place to rest, eat, and relax, just moments away from their child's hospital ward. This support is invaluable during a critical time in their lives.

Their impact
Ronald McDonald House Charities UK is deeply committed to supporting families each year. Since its founding in 1989, the charity has supported over 100,000 families from diverse backgrounds, both from within the UK and abroad seeking specialist care. For these families, staying close to their child during hospital treatment remains the highest priority.

Job Description

  • Supporting the charity's purpose and acting as its guardian and champion.
