Hotham was the son of Alan and Matilda Hotham of Hotham and nephew of William Hotham, Archbishop of Dublin. His early career was spent in Ireland, where he became Chancellor of the Exchequer of Ireland until 1310.

Due to his knowledge of Irish affairs, he spent a good part of the Bruce Campaign in Ireland in that country, overseeing the Irish defences and exercising temporary powers of government. His firm action is generally credited with helping to bring about the failure of the Scots invasion. Hotham was elected to Ely on about 20 June 1316 and consecrated on 3 October 1316. Later that year he went to meet the pope in Avignon with the earl of Pembroke, partly to plead the case for the promotion of Alexander Bicknor as Archbishop of Dublin. After returning from Avignon, he was appointed Lord High Treasurer of England on 27 May 1317 but left that office in June 1318. when he was promoted as Lord Chancellor of England on 11 June 1318, an office he held until 26 January 1320. Although close to King Edward II, Hotham switched allegiance to Queen Isabella when she successfully invaded to depose the king in September 1326. He was consequently appointed chancellor for the second time by her on behalf of the young King Edward III on 28 January 1327. He retired from government in 1328. Hotham died about 14 January 1337 after two years of paralysis and was buried in Ely Cathedral.

John Hotham prend part à plusieurs missions diplomatiques au nom du roi et est nommé en récompense Lord grand chancelier en 1318. Mais le revers de l'armée qu'il commande contre les Écossais à la bataille de Myton en 1319 l'éloigne subitement des sphères du pouvoir, même s'il reste fidèle au roi Édouard II pendant les années qui suivent. Approuvant finalement la déchéance du roi en 1327, Hotham retrouve brièvement son ancien poste de chancelier. Par la suite, il abandonne définitivement toute implication dans les affaires politiques et retourne dans son diocèse, qu'il administre jusqu'à sa mort en 1337.
