About the role

This is an exciting opportunity to shape and lead a national service that improves the lives of children and young people living with arthritis, with a strong focus on innovation, inclusion, and amplifying youth voice. The role offers the chance to build strategic partnerships across healthcare and communities, influence service design at key life stages, and drive meaningful change that reduces health inequalities. Working within a collaborative, values-led organisation, you’ll have real scope to grow and evolve our support service.

Key responsibilities include leading the delivery and continuous development of high-quality, safe, and inclusive services across England and Scotland as part of a UK service, managing and coaching staff and volunteers, and driving increased access and impact through strong planning and partnership working.

You will oversee safeguarding, budgets, data and performance frameworks, while embedding systems and processes that strengthen insight and delivery. The role also involves working closely with NHS and third-sector partners, supporting youth engagement and leadership, and ensuring services are shaped by young people and families.

About you

If your knowledge, skills and experience include the following then we’d love to hear from you:

• Experience leading staff and volunteers to deliver inclusive, safe and impactful services for young people and families.
• Track record of developing and evolving services to increase access and impact, including managing change with stakeholders.

• Strong planning and project management skills, with the ability to prioritise and deliver multiple workstreams.
• Confident influencer, able to identify opportunities, build partnerships and drive improvement.

Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity enables families who have a child with a life-threatening or terminal illness to make the most of their time together, providing expert practical and emotional support where they need, it for as long as it is needed. For families living with childhood illness, time is everything.
