We are looking for a Family Support Manager who is passionate about making a real difference for families of children and young people with disabilities. This is an opportunity to lead a dedicated team, expand our support services, and make sure that no child or young person is left without the vital care they need due to a lack of resources or support.
You will have the chance to bring fresh ideas, develop new ways of working, and strengthen our support pathways.

About Tree of Hope: ‘Bridging The Gap’ in Children and Young People’s Healthcare
Tree of Hope is a UK children and young people’s healthcare charity dedicated to helping families secure the funding and support they need for their seriously ill and disabled children. Since 1992, we have been a vital source of guidance and assistance for families, empowering them to access medical treatments, therapies, and equipment that are not freely available through the NHS or social care.
In October 2024, Tree of Hope launched our new three-year strategy, ‘Bridging the Gap’, to tackle the growing challenges families face in accessing the care their disabled children need. With over 1 million children in the UK living with disabilities and 40% of families with disabled children living in poverty, the need for support has never been greater. Far too many families are falling through the cracks.
‘Bridging the Gap’ is our commitment to tackling this. Our strategy is focused on expanding our reach, improving access to funding, and building stronger community networks so that more families can secure the vital treatments and support they need sooner. We are determined to make sure that no family is left behind.
Why Join Us
At Tree of Hope, we believe that every family should have equal access to the healthcare they need. To make that happen, we have built a team that is guided by our values of Respect, Dedication, Integrity, Compassion, and Collaboration. These values shape everything we do, from how we support families to how we work together as a team.
We believe that great work should be celebrated. Through our Kudos platform, team members recognise and appreciate each other's contributions every day. Our Annual Staff Awards go even further, shining a light on everyone’s contribution over the year. We also make time to connect and reflect with regular team meetings, socials, and two Away Days each year, opportunities to share ideas, strengthen relationships, and plan for the future.
Your wellbeing matters to us. We are committed to creating a supportive and caring work environment. That is why we actively use Wellness Action Plans, an Employee Assistance Programme, and a Healthcare Plan through the Hospital Saturday Fund. We also invest in your growth, offering a training and development budget to help you thrive and develop in your role.
At Tree of Hope, you will be part of a team that genuinely cares, celebrates success, and works together to make sure that no child or young person is left without the support they need.

Salary: No less than £95,000, plus flexibility where needed to ensure that the School is able to attract leading professionals to this important role.
This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious Development professional to join the Latymer Foundation in this important Senior Management role. With the full backing of the Head, Governors and the Latymer community, and using the momentum of recent campaign success and anniversary celebrations, the new Director of Development will be ideally placed to draw up a roadmap for the fundraising and alumni engagement strategy for the next decade.
The Latymer Foundation runs Latymer Upper School and Latymer Prep in Hammersmith, alongside delivering a wide range of partnership initiatives with some 250 local schools, charities and other not-for-profit organisations.

The Latymer Foundation’s Inspiring Minds campaign launched in 2017 with the aim of funding bursaries for as many as one in four Upper School pupils. The campaign successfully raised £50 million, enabling Latymer Upper to more than double its bursary provision and its endowment. The Foundation’s 400th anniversary in 2024 gave rise to a further opportunity to engage the Latymer community, paving the path for significant future philanthropy.
Reporting to the Head of Latymer Upper, and leading a team of 12, the new Director of Development will be a first-class relationship builder and manager, motivated by the School’s ethos for excellence and inclusivity. As an outstanding leader with a proven track record of developing and implementing philanthropic income generation strategies, confidence in your own ability to operate at this strategic level will be underpinned by your demonstrable experience of negotiating and securing high-level relationships for the organisations you’ve represented.
Key to your success in this role is your inspirational, inclusive and collaborative leadership approach, your experience of motivating high-performing teams, and your innovative and flexible approach to achieving outstanding results. Your credibility, pragmatism and ability to show good judgement, will inspire those around you and enable you to take the team and Foundation’s activity to the next level. If you believe you have the skills, aptitude and commitment to lead the Latymer Foundation’s team with drive and ambition, and are committed to the School’s values and aims, we would love to hear from you.

The Charity and The Vision.
Scotty’s Little Soldiers is a UK-based charity dedicated to supporting military children and young people (0 to 25 years) who have experienced the death of a parent who served in the British Armed Forces. Founded in 2010 by Nikki Scott following the death of her husband, Corporal Lee Scott, the charity offers a unique blend of emotional, practical, and educational support to over 700 young people, and we have big ambitions to support over 1,000 children annually by 2030.
We are proud of our vibrant, non-traditional culture, which puts the needs of bereaved children and young people at the heart of everything we do. We embrace innovative approaches, are committed to creating smiles and believe in the power of community, resilience, and connection.
Scotty’s is seeking an experienced bereavement counsellor to join our small but effective team. The role involves supporting children and young people affected by bereavement, which may include death in service, illness, or suicide.
We want every bereaved military child and young person to have:
- Access to the very best emotional health and wellbeing support.
- Outstanding development opportunities.
- The chance to smile again.
We call these our Promises. Our promises align with our three programmes: SMILES, STRIDES and SUPPORT.

· The SUPPORT Programme provides the very best emotional health and wellbeing support to children who are struggling to cope following a bereavement.
Our Bereavement Counsellor will be a valuable member of the SUPPORT Programme, delivering online 1:1 and group support to those who need it most. But all three programmes work closely together (we call this the Families team).

· Will be contributing to peer supervision sessions to ensure all SUPPORT team members are able to give the best support to families.
· Regularly meeting with your selected external supervisor.
What are the 9-month goals for this role:
· Will be supporting a caseload as assigned by the Head of SUPPORT, with emerging impact data showing the success of your support.
