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.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

About Resonance
Resonance is a 24/7, artist-led community radio station based in Southwark, London, broadcasting on FM, DAB and online to audiences in the UK and internationally. The station supports experimental arts & culture and under-represented voices through community radio broadcasting, working with hundreds of volunteer broadcasters, artists and producers each year alongside a small staff team. Resonance is delivered by London Musicians’ Collective Limited, a registered charity (290236), and is sustained through listener support and grant funding.
Purpose of the Role
This role exists to increase Resonance’s charitable income, securing the funding that enables its artistic and community work to happen. It sits alongside, rather than within, artistic and operational delivery, with a specific focus on charitable fundraising and supporter engagement.
The Development Coordinator works across the organisation to draw out the charitable purpose, public benefit and impact of Resonance’s activity, and to communicate this clearly to funders and donors through funding applications, donor communications and impact-led narratives.
Key Outcomes
- Charitable income increases year on year, supported by a strong pipeline of trust and foundation applications and effective stewardship of funders.
- Individual giving grows, with donors and supporters receiving regular, credible communications that lead to stronger engagement and donations over time.
- Resonance’s charitable activity and public benefit are communicated clearly and confidently to funders and supporters, using evidence that is accurate, proportionate and well judged.
- Donor, funder and impact information is well-organised, up to date and actively used to support fundraising and stewardship.
- Charitable development activity is delivered reliably, supporting the organisation’s long-term financial sustainability within a small, collaborative team.
Role Context
This role is supported by grant funding from the Community Radio Fund, administered by Ofcom on behalf of the UK Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS). The Development Coordinator focuses on resourcing Resonance’s charitable mission by translating artistic and community activity into clear, funder- and donor-facing narratives, working at the intersection of information, relationships and deadlines and exercising good judgement when priorities compete or information is incomplete.
Ways of Working
- This role will suit someone who enjoys working with focus and care, and who values seeing work through properly.
- You are comfortable taking ownership of defined areas of work, researching opportunities, shaping written material and keeping clear records.
- You understand how good systems, documentation and digital tools, including AI tools, support accuracy, efficiency and consistency in fundraising and donor communications, and you are motivated by seeing this work translate into tangible results, including increased charitable income.
- You are curious about Resonance’s work and the communities it serves, and willing to spend time understanding what makes its creative activity distinctive in order to communicate its public benefit clearly to others.
Working Hours
The post is full-time and based at our Southwark studios. Core hours are usually 10a.m - 4p.m, and time off in lieu is provided for agreed additional hours. Because Resonance operates around the clock, some early-morning, evening, or weekend work will occasionally be required to support fundraising activities.
Equity and Inclusion
Resonance is a small team serving a wide and diverse community of broadcasters. We particularly welcome applications from women, people from the global majority, disabled people, and those currently under-represented in fundraising roles within the audio and charity sector.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

We’re now looking for a passionate programme coordinator with a flair for building positive relationships to join our team in the north west of England.
As Network & Programme Coordinator, you will be responsible for developing and nurturing relationships with staff and young people in our Youth Foyer network.
By proactively listening to the network’s needs, ambitions and experiences; offering coaching and development opportunities; and guiding Youth Foyers through our accreditation programme, you will support services to develop and deliver transformational opportunities for young people who can’t live at home.
You will also be responsible for the delivery of funded programmes for and with young people (16-25) and staff in north west Youth Foyers.

- Strong project and event management skills: planning, scheduling and managing multiple strands
- Confidence holding participatory online and/or in-person learning spaces
- Excellent written and verbal communication, comfortable engaging with diverse stakeholders
- Ability to work both collaboratively in a small team and independently
- Competence with digital tools for learning and collaboration (e.g. Zoom, Google Workspace, Mighty Networks, etc)
Desirable skills & experience
You might also have:
- Practical experience in bioregioning, regenerative design, community organising, landscape stewardship, or related fields.
- Experience partnering with universities, colleges or independent learning centres.
- Skills in monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL), especially participatory approaches.
- Some experience of working with both the Global North and Global South.
- Experience with fundraising or developing paid learning offers.
- Familiarity with South Devon or another bioregion, and the ability to ‘read’ place.
- Arts-based, creative or storytelling practice connected to systems change or ecology.
If you don’t meet every single criterion but feel a strong resonance with the role, we warmly encourage you to apply.
What we offer
- The chance to help shape a pioneering bioregional learning programme with an active international network.
- A reflective, supportive working culture with mentoring from the Learning Programme Lead.
- Flexible, trust-based hybrid working.
- Significant scope for your own learning and practice development.
