Are you passionate about inspiring a love of reading in children?
The Dollywood Foundation UK runs Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in the UK, the worlds largest book gifting programme. Over the last 30 years the Imagination Library has delivered nearly 300 million books to children globally. In the UK we support over 60k children a month, delivering them a free book sent to their house every month.
The primary purpose of this new role is to increase registrations for the Imagination Library initially across London. This role will support our Local Programme Partners to reach families with whom they are not currently engaging.
Background
We have a steadfast belief that inspiring a love of reading in children can bring joy, love, and measurable individual, family and societal benefits. We are driven by Dolly Parton’s mantra that you “can’t put enough books into the hands of enough children”.
It is an exciting time for the Dollywood Foundation. We have recently received a new investment to allow us to scale our Imagination Library programme across London. As families across the capital become eligible for free books, we need to make every effort to ensure families know about the programme and sign up.
This role is integral to that plan, working with local authority and community organisations to spread the word about the programme. The role holder will need to be passionate about books and supporting children’s development. They will hold brilliant relationship building skills to engage local communities and overcome any barriers to families enrolling.
We are a remote team with no fixed office. While this role will be based from home, regular travel across London will be required. The role holder will need to be based in London or surrounding areas to allow for the frequent travel.
This is an exciting new role, joining a passionate and growing UK team.

The consultant will lead investigations into the ‘The UK’s benefit from funded Health Partnerships under the DHSC funded GHWP’.
As benefit back to the UK becomes increasingly important in the evolving funding landscape, GHP is commissioning a study to explore and examine the value of DHSC-funded health partnerships to the UK health system. While bi-directional learning and mutual benefit have been highlighted through GHWP reports and sharing and learning events, these insights have not yet been fully synthesised or clearly articulated in a way that supports future funding and policy positioning.
We wish to commission a short-term consultancy to review and examine existing literature and data, including published and grey literature, including GHWP reports, reports from other DHSC-funded GHP projects, and other available documentation on the benefits of global health engagement to the UK. (see Related Papers section).
Some qualitative data collection may potentially be involved.

To assess how the GHWP work has contributed to UK health worker and health system strengthening, innovation, and global health leadership.

To build on existing literature and evaluations, including from other DHSC-funded GHP programmes to provide a robust evidence base for the mutual benefits of global health partnerships.
Outcomes

Re-centre Health Partnerships as a key component of the UK’s global health offer, showcasing benefits to the UK.
-
Encourage greater support within the NHS for institutional engagement in global health and support within the UK Government for increased spending on global health.
