Duchenne UK is an ambitious, dynamic and impactful charity. Following their sons’ diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Emily Reuben and Alex Johnson founded Duchenne UK in 2012.
DMD is a devastating progressive condition diagnosed in early childhood which causes all the muscles in the body to gradually weaken. There are currently only very limited treatment options for DMD, so Emily and Alex set up Duchenne UK to change this.
Since 2012, we have raised more than £27 million to end the devastating impact of DMD. We fund ground-breaking scientific research to find effective treatments. We’ve developed the infrastructure of DMD clinical trial delivery in the UK. We engage industry and regulators to accelerate access to treatments. And we’re here to support every family affected and ensure that they receive the best possible care. We aim not only to improve quality of life but stop the disease in its tracks. We’re doing it faster too, because this generation of patients can’t wait.
Alex and Emily were awarded OBEs in The King’s Birthday Honours List in 2023 in recognition of their services to charity and to people living with DMD. They, and the dedicated and effective team they have built at Duchenne UK, are now at the forefront of this work in the UK.

Starlight is the national charity transforming children’s health through play. We work
to ensure that every child can benefit from the incredible power of play, supporting
their mental and physical health during treatment and recovery from illness.
Play is not just a ‘nice to have’, without play, children can experience short, and
long-term problems. In fact, it’s so important, that being able to engage in play is
one of the human rights listed in the UN’s Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Without play, problems faced can range from anxiety around having blood tests
which could mean appointments being abandoned and rescheduled, to developing
PTSD and a fear around visiting hospitals and healthcare settings. It’s not
uncommon for health play specialists to have to meet children in the car park as
they are too scared to even set foot inside the hospital.
Each year, there are nearly 1.8 million child hospital admissions in the UK and
nearly three-quarters (71%) of NHS trusts and health boards do not have any
budget for play.
This is simply not good enough; we think that play in healthcare is non-negotiable.
Driven by our research and insights into what works best for them, we provide direct
services and resources for children and their families; and to the health
professionals working with them. We also advocate for more and better health play
services in public policy; and promote the full recognition of health play practitioners
as an integral component of the children’s health workforce.
Our Health Play Services Delivery team provide physical and digital materials and
resources which support the delivery of health play to practitioners and families.
These are informed by insight, evidence and evaluation from our Insight and Impact
Team.
Central to these materials and resources is our range of Boxes which contain toys
and activities specifically selected to help children relax, distract, and engage to
ensure their treatment can be carried out as quickly and effectively as possible with
minimal stress.
The current Health Play Services Delivery Manager is about to be seconded to a
new Commercial Development role, initially for 6-months, as we shape the
development of a new source of income for Starlight through paid for services.
There may be the possibility of an extension to this contract depending upon the
outcome of the secondment.
The Health Play Services Delivery Manager, reporting to our Head of Play leads the
end-to-end process of our services. You’ll need experience in the operational
management of service delivery and experience of working with the NHS and in
children’s services would be an advantage. You’ll work across all areas from
procurement through stock control to the logistics of delivery and you’ll build
relationships internally and externally to ensure efficient, effective, high quality
service delivery and excellent customer relationship management. Reporting
directly to the Head of Play, you’ll manage the Service Delivery Co-ordinator and
the Service Data Officer within the Hospital Services Team.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

We're looking for values-led, content-minded database-loving, marketplace enthusiast to join us at We Are In Beta as our School Service Provider Directory Manager.
Your role will be to build, manage and promote a community driven database of school service providers and organisations members of our 18,000+ community recommend to each other.
Why?
Finding and quality assuring providers on a limited budget in schools is hard. The database will help school leaders do just that so they can spend more time delivering the best education possible to their students.
About We Are In Beta.
We Are In Beta is an online community of 18,800+ school leaders and teachers which helps them share and learn how they get the best outcomes for their students.
We believe most of the solutions to schools’ problems are in schools already. Or at least, in the minds of the brilliant people who work in them.
Our job is to find them and share them widely, so nobody has to figure it out on their own.
Imagine a day when you can find someone - or something - that can help solve any problem you’re facing, whenever you need it.
A day when every student has leaders and teachers who are equipped with the most successful strategies and networks to improve their education.
Join us to help us build that future for our schools.
We - schools - Are In Beta - always learning.
What do we do?
To work towards that future:
-
We research great practice so our members can discover it and be inspired by it.
-
We produce and share practical content with great schools through events, webinars, podcasts and resources - so they can learn from others’ successes (and the failures too).
-
We build communities of practice so colleagues can meet and grow together
Some stats we’re really proud of:
In just 4 years we’ve grown the online community to over 18,800 school leaders and teachers.
-
3,400 - MATs and schools we are connected to
-
2500+ resources have been shared by our members - if each one on average takes two hours produce - in reality it's probably more - that’s more than…
-
3.1 years' worth of others’ work each and every one of our members can access just by being a part of the community
-
3,710 policies and resources from successful schools and MATs we have curated, analysed and shared.
-
£1,500 - the amount we save a school each time they access the research they ask us to do for them.
-
870,000 hours - the number of hours it would have taken members to discover the insights we've shared with them had they done the research on their own in silos.
-
£25 million - the amount it would have cost schools had they funded those research hours themselves
-
1.5 million - the number of miles our members would have had to have travelled to meet our expert presenters in case study schools had our community not existed online.
-
8,500 people came to the National INSET Day in Dec 2020 when the government left schools with almost no time at all to plan an end of term INSET.
We are just getting started. Join us to write the next chapter
