About Starlight
No one enjoys medical procedures, least of all children. From facing everyday vaccinations to the most serious of surgeries and chronic conditions, all children experience varying degrees of apprehension and fear. Feeling scared, powerless, or anxious in healthcare settings doesn’t just trigger a child’s emotions; it can create traumas that impact treatment success and that can have a life-long impact. Starlight’s aim is to transform children’s health through better experiences, by putting play at the heart of every child’s healthcare.
Evidence shows that play in healthcare can reduce anxiety, fear and even pain; it helps children engage and prepare for their treatment and cope better with procedures; it minimises trauma and contributes to a better experience; and supports children to have some sense of agency and control in an environment where these opportunities are limited. Play can also reduce the number of attempts to deliver treatment, the need for sedation and the need for repeat appointments. Prioritising children’s right to play in healthcare results in healthier, happier children who are involved in their own healing and recovery as well as more efficient treatment and care.
We work in over 900 healthcare settings across the UK with an ultimate vision to ensure that no child endures trauma in healthcare.
Our Strategy and the Professional Training & Development Manager role
Over recent years, we have been re-positioning Starlight from a wish-granting charity to a charity that supports children to experience the power of play in healthcare settings to improve their mental health and wellbeing. These changes have made an exponential difference to the immediate impact that we can achieve for children, as well as the opportunity to create real social value in the efficiency of treatment; and to our ability to advocate for long-term systemic change in the way children experience healthcare.
Central to improving children’s experience is having access to experienced and properly equipped play professionals. Through our Champions network and collaborative working across the healthcare sector, we have developed strong networks; shared best practice, offered opportunities for training and connection and raised awareness of the importance of play professionals and a culture of play in healthcare settings. Our Taskforce work with NHS England has also clearly outlined the need for workforce accreditation and development.
While we continue to advocate at a systemic level for the recognition of the play workforce and their need for a strategy for their development, this role is vital in providing more immediate and tangible support to the professionals who make our work possible. 3 The Professional Training & Development Manager will be integral in sharing Starlight’s knowledge of Play by training and developing key roles within health play settings to ensure Play becomes a foundation of every child’s health care journey. They will support wider understanding of the importance of a culture of play in paediatric healthcare.
Main purpose of the role
The main purpose of this role is to develop and maintain effective and mutually supportive relationships with health professionals, creating communities of practice and resourcing knowledge exchange across the sector. Through these relationships, you will deepen our understanding of the training and workforce development needs of play professionals and identify and develop opportunities for training and sharing of best practice, Working closely across the Children’s Services your work will contribute to raising awareness of the importance of a culture of play for children’s mental health and wellbeing and for the health and efficiency of the NHS.
You will report directly to the Head of Professional Training & Development and will line manage a coordinator.

Do you want to help shape strategy by turning data and evidence into insight that drives mission, growth, and learning? Do you have the skills to help a complex organisation understand what is working, what could improve, and how to adapt in a meaningful way?
The Diocese of Rochester is seeking a Data Insights & Evaluation Adviser to lead the development of a coherent, organisation-wide approach to data, evaluation, and learning across the Called Together programme. This role goes beyond routine data collection or dashboard creation – it’s about sense-making, judgement, and enabling learning to support parishes, deaneries, and diocesan teams in achieving sustainable impact.
This is an exciting role for someone with analytical expertise, strong communication skills, and the ability to work relationally across a wide range of stakeholders.

· Leading on data, insights, and evaluation across the Diocese to inform strategy and action
· Integrating quantitative and qualitative evidence from parishes, programmes, and external sources

· Designing and embedding a comprehensive MEL framework with appropriate indicators and learning loops
· Designing, building, and maintaining dashboards and visual tools (e.g. Power BI)
· Producing reports for governance, leadership, and project teams
· Providing analytical support to enable data-driven decision-making and project delivery
· Ensuring data integrity, quality, security, and GDPR compliance
· Collaborating with national Church teams and external partners to align evaluation with wider priorities
About You
· A minimum of five years’ relevant professional experience in data, insights, evaluation, research, MEL, or learning-focused roles, with evidence of senior responsibility, autonomy, sound judgement, and practical organisational application.
· Aligned with the mission and ethos of the Christian Church and the Diocese of Rochester
· Educated to degree level in a relevant field, or with equivalent professional experience
· Experienced in data, insights, or evaluation activity in complex, multi-stakeholder environments
· Skilled in working with both quantitative and qualitative data to generate actionable insights
· Proficient in Microsoft Excel (advanced formulas, pivot tables, data modelling) and Power BI (DAX / M code)
· An excellent communicator, able to present findings to senior leaders while working constructively with colleagues unfamiliar with data
· Organised, flexible, and able to travel across the Diocese, including occasional evenings or weekends
It would be advantageous if you also:
· Have experience in charity, voluntary, public, or faith-based sectors where impact is complex
· Understand the structure and culture of the Church of England, dioceses, and parish life
What we can offer:
• Flexible working and TOIL
• Generous holiday entitlement
• Contributory pension scheme
• Access to an Employee Assistance Programme and counselling service
The Diocese is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. All post holders and volunteers are expected to share this commitment.
The wider a group’s diversity, the smarter, wiser, and more compassionate and creative its decision making becomes.
We are committed to achieving diversity throughout our Diocese by seeking UKME/GMH colleagues and those from a wide range of backgrounds, to help us create a culture of inclusion and belonging.
