Are you passionate about creating meaningful reward and recognition experiences that celebrate contribution and reinforce our values

Are you motivated to help build an incredible workplace culture where staff and volunteers can thrive and deliver their very best

If this sounds like you, we’d love for you to join us, apply today and help shape the future of our charity’s culture.

Bring your purpose and authentic self to Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice. You’ll help ensure that babies, children, and young people with life-limiting conditions—and their families—receive the specialist care and support they deserve, wherever and whenever they need.

About us:

Our vision at Bluebell Wood is for every baby, child and young person with a life limiting condition to access specialist palliative care, where and when they need it.  You will join our fantastic team where we all play our part in achieving our vision and creating an incredible culture for everyone. 

Why your role matters:

Our uncompromisable support services are wide-ranging and bespoke to each family.  We provide symptom management, end-of-life care, post-death care, short breaks, counselling, sibling support groups, music therapy, home visits and more.

We support families across a large geographical area, including South Yorkshire, North Nottinghamshire, North Derbyshire and parts of North Lincolnshire. The hospice is easily accessible from Barnsley, Rotherham, Doncaster, Sheffield and North Notts, making our reach truly regional and inclusive.

Every year, we must raise £6.7 million to keep our doors open, and only 17% comes from government sources. The rest is powered by the generosity and commitment of supporters like you. Your leadership in corporate fundraising will help secure vital resources, build strategic partnerships, and create a sustainable future for our hospice.

The role:

If you’re at your best when you’re building brilliant culture and making volunteering work seamlessly, this role puts you right at the heart of our hospice. You’ll lead our volunteering offer and key people projects—helping our staff and volunteers feel valued, supported and equipped to make a difference for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and for their families.

Working closely with the Head of People, you’ll partner with teams across the hospice (including fundraising, facilities, care and communications) to deliver people projects and help bring our people strategy to life — creating an incredible culture and volunteer experience.

· Lead and continually improve the end-to-end volunteer journey: recruitment, induction, recognition, retention and engagement.

· Deliver people projects that strengthen culture, wellbeing, inclusion and day-to-day experiences for colleagues and volunteers.

· Partner with teams across the hospice (including fundraising, facilities, care and communications) to plan skills, build capability and solve people challenges.

· Use insight and data (qualitative and quantitative) to review what’s working, spot opportunities and improve our volunteering proposition—especially for events and hospice-wide activity.

· Ensure volunteer systems, records and compliance are robust and accurate, aligned to GDPR, the Code of Fundraising Practice and CQC requirements.

· Build our profile externally representing Bluebell Wood at events and networks related to volunteering and people.

What You’ll Bring

· Strong HR and/or volunteer management experience, including leading or supervising a small team.

· Confidence running multiple priorities—planning, organising and delivering projects on time.

· Experience of workforce/skills planning and working in partnership with stakeholders at different levels.

· A proactive, curious approach—always looking for ways to improve experiences and outcomes.

· Great communication skills and the ability to influence and build relationships across teams.

· Sound knowledge of relevant legislation and best practice, with a clear commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.

· Comfortable with digital tools (e.g., Microsoft Office) and using social media to support engagement.

Nice to have: CIPD (or similar), project management accreditation, experience with HR/volunteer management systems, and strong reporting/data analysis skills.

About you:

Our values underpin what we do and how we do it.

To succeed in this role, we are looking for someone who will embody our values, work confidently with key attention to detail, engage with everyone in our hospice, and has an absolute willingness to learn.

What we offer:

This is a home-based role, however there is a requirement to travel to London on a regular basis to attend in-person networking events and meetings with donors, key stakeholders and team members.

As Head of Talent, Ambassadors and Influencer Relationships, you will be responsible for harnessing the power of public figures and sport to drive long-term engagement, profile, and impact. You will achieve this by identifying, securing, and managing relationships with celebrity supporters, ambassadors, and influencers, whilst also building and maintaining positive relationships with agents, managers, and representatives.

In this new senior leadership role, you will lead and manage a specialist team, whilst also working collaboratively with key internal teams and stakeholders to create high-impact moments and campaigns that increase engagement, relevance, and organisational fame.

You will lead a joined-up strategy across celebrity talent, ambassadors, sport organisations, and broadcasters with the aim of developing a credible, high-performing network of public figures who authentically champion our mission and enhance the national profile and public support for the Society. Through bold, high-profile activations and trusted partnerships, you will connect new and diverse audiences to the organisation’s mission, values, and campaigns.

First round interviews for this role have been provisionally scheduled to take place via MS Teams on Friday 1st May. Second round will be held in person.

About you
Joining us, you’ll have significant experience in talent relationship management, celebrity engagement, or ambassador strategy, ideally within culture, sport, media, or mission-driven organisations. You’ll have experience of using your entrepreneurial mindset and commercial awareness to build and shape new areas of work and you’ll have a track record of successfully using your initiative and your ability to think strategically to identify new opportunities.

Crucially, you’ll have a proven ability to manage high-profile relationships and complex external partnerships. You’ll be a highly effective networker and relationship-builder, with the emotional intelligence, negotiation and communication skills required to establish long-lasting partnerships. You’ll also have experience of successfully leading a team and building a proactive and positive, solutions-focussed team culture.

What you’ll focus on:

- Developing and delivering an integrated strategy for talent, ambassadors, influencers and sport partnerships that supports organisational priorities, campaigns, and growth.
- Defining how the organisation works with influential figures — from entertainers to athletes — to maximise reach, credibility, and public engagement.
- Leading and manage a small specialist team, while working closely with campaigns, media, fundraising, digital, and policy and influencing colleagues.
- Identifying, securing, and managing relationships with celebrity supporters, ambassadors, and influencers, aligned to clear objectives and outcomes.
- Designing and growing a structured, diverse ambassador programme that amplifies lived experience and authentic storytelling to deliver profile and credibility for the Society.
- Developing strategic partnerships with sport’s governing bodies, clubs, leagues, broadcasters, and sport talent to deliver national reach and impact.
- Acting as a connector between sport and mission, identifying shared values and long-term collaboration opportunities.
