Lydia - Snr Business Development and Acquisition Manager - Joined 2001

I started off as a volunteer in my community back in 2001. Then I worked at World Vision Kenya and now I’m at World Vision UK!

It is a privilege to be a part of a Christian organisation that is making an incredible impact in the world. We serve the most vulnerable children in different regions and their communities. It's incredible to be part of children's transformation journey - and we are all transformed as we serve.

Watch Lydia talk about her experiences as a child in rural Kenya - and how things have changed.

Kat, Head of Specialist Giving - Joined 2012

I came to World Vision from a career as a manager in retail. I was disillusioned with my job and wanted to feel like I was using my skills to do something positive.

I joined the finance team at first but then I volunteered to help at events and realised that my retail experience might translate to this type of fundraising work. So I joined our Public Engagement team soon after. Now I lead our teams working in Church Engagement and Legacies – engaging supporters to fund our incredible work. It’s a lot of fun, and really rewarding.

Judi, Head of Performance and Collaboration – Joined 2007

I've had many roles at World Vision. I joined to manage projects in West Africa, then oversaw our work in three regions across the world. I consequently worked in the strategy and philanthropy teams. Now I work with our Chief Executive and Strategic Leadership Team, as well as leading our performance management processes. I was apprehensive at first: I had two young children and hadn’t lived in the UK for 12 years. But I’ve found I can bring my whole self to work. I’ve been encouraged to constantly learn and develop, and recently completed a Level 4 Project Management apprenticeship.

World Vision's Christian identity underpins everything that we do. Inspired by our Christian faith, we help children – of all faiths and none - in some of the world's most dangerous places. We work closely communities and community leaders, including building relationships with leaders of different faiths, to ensure that all children experience the fullness of life.
It depends on the particular role that you’re interested in. Our mission and core values mean that we apply a Christian approach to our work.

Many World Vision jobs have a legal ‘occupational requirement’ that the person must be a Christian, but each position is assessed individually to see whether this is necessary.

If there is a requirement, as long as you are a practising Christian, it doesn’t matter what creed or church tradition you are part of. We are a very broad church.
