As Service Delivery Officer: Wellbeing, you will play a key role in supporting working and retired musicians facing health, wellbeing, or financial difficulties. You will deliver structured, person-centred casework, helping musicians navigate complex situations and access the most appropriate support aligned to their individual goals.

The role focusses on understanding each musician’s circumstances, carrying out needs and outcomes assessments, and coordinating tailored packages of support. This includes managing wellbeing grants, facilitating referrals and signposting to specialist providers where required. 

Working within the charity’s eligibility and case management guidelines, you will contribute to ensuring that Help Musicians’ resources are used responsibly, consistently and with maximum impact.

You will also collaborate closely with internal teams and external partners, helping musicians access the full range of preventative and responsive support available.

Reporting to the Senior officer: Wellbeing (Working and Retired), this role also contributes to maintaining a safe working environment and supporting safeguarding practices. On occasion the role may be required to assist with higher-volume service delivery tasks alongside other teams in the department during periods of demand.

About you

You will bring experience of delivering structured casework or support within a relevant setting such as health, social care, or the charity sector. You are comfortable dealing with sensitive situations in an empathetic manner, and are skilled at building trust-based, professional relationships.

You are highly organised, able to manage competing priorities, and confident maintaining accurate records and documentation. You are comfortable making decisions within defined guidelines, including communicating difficult outcomes with clarity and empathy.

Our work has a direct impact on the lives of thousands of people every year. If you are passionate about creating a world where musicians can thrive, then this could be the place for you.

About us

At Help Musicians and Music Minds Matter, music is our passion and its people are our purpose.

Musicians give us so much, but what they do often means bearing their hearts and fighting for chances in a sea of challenges. Help Musicians understands and supports music creators, enabling them to navigate unsteady income, make the most of career opportunities and find a helping hand when things go wrong. We’re there for musicians so music can be there for us.

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 Culture

We believe that our success depends upon focusing on our purpose and business results and taking individual responsibility for a culture where everyone can belong, feel safe and thrive. Our values are the agreed standards that govern our behaviour and are central to our decision-making and the choices that we make. Our development programme focuses on individual awareness of our own values, strengths, and preferences – what makes us who we are – to help all colleagues think for themselves, manage their environment, and make appropriate, balanced decisions for themselves, others and Starlight. We believe that our strength is in our differences and constantly strive towards an authentic workplace culture with equity, diversity, and inclusion as central principles.

Our Strategy and the role of Policy and Public Affairs Coordinator

As a result of the rapid progress and positive outcomes of us leading, managing and coordinating an increasingly cohesive alliance for systemic change in children’s healthcare, we are now in the position of moving some of our focus to the Government and Parliament. This will involve sensitive networking, stakeholder engagement and relationship management. To sustain the momentum and maximise these opportunities, we now want to appoint a permanent coordinator who is dynamic, empathic and curious; with the experience and ability to coordinate and administer the work of a small team working at pace in a fast-changing environment.

The postholder will need to maintain superb attention to detail while juggling multiple priorities (and a diverse range of relationships). There will be growing opportunities to be involved in policy research and preparation of briefings, as well as organising and project-managing events, publications and other activities. There will be a continued focus on meetings of various kinds; aiming to ensure these are seamless and problem free for everyone involved. This will require considerable administrative support in diary management, arranging meetings, preparation of papers, accurate minute taking and follow up actions.
