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.

What we're building
Level Water exists to solve a problem that shouldn’t exist: too many disabled children are still missing out on high-quality swimming lessons.
Last year, our swimmers raised over £1m. This year we’ve sold out events in minutes and want to double the fundraising. We’re on the path to exponential growth and we need someone who can help us get there.
We're Level Water, a founder-led charity solving learn-to-swim for disabled children. We're not your typical charity. We own our events and run them like a business. We move fast, test everything, and we're building something that doesn't exist anywhere else. Our events are uniquely profitable, and we reinvest in quality and growth.
We've just brought in a new Fundraising Director, and this Marketing role is a cornerstone of the team we're building. If you want to help define how a modern charity grows and does marketing, this is your chance.
The opportunity
This isn't a "post on social and send a newsletter" role. This is a “build something exceptional, then grow it” role. Marketing is at the heart of our flywheel, which means you’ll be integral to everything we are doing at Level Water.
You'll own marketing strategy and execution across our entire operation: our iconic events, our life-changing swimming programmes, and our reputation as a charity. You'll drive growth, tell stories that matter, and build genuine communities that scale.
You'll have the freedom to experiment. Want to test a new channel? Launch a content series? Build a creator programme? Run paid campaigns that actually convert? Brilliant. Build the business case and let's do it.
You'll work with real impact. Children with disabilities are learning to swim because of us. Families are transformed by our lessons. Volunteers and incredible teachers make it happen. These are stories that deserve to be told brilliantly, and you'll be the one telling them.
This role is 80% growth and 20% impact storytelling, but the two are inseparable. We’re product-led and we launch and test often. Great stories fuel growth. Growth creates more stories. You'll understand that tension and thrive in it.
You'll work closely with our Fundraising Director and CEO to scale marketing as our most powerful growth lever. You'll also manage a network of brilliant freelancers (photographers, videographers, copywriters, designers) to help you execute at the highest level.
And you'll grow with us. We're scaling fast, and we need people who can scale with us.
This is a mission-critical role in driving Level Water's growth. Every event you sell out, every story you tell, every audience you build helps unlock more funded swimming lessons, bringing us closer to a future where every disabled child can have a great swimming lesson with a confident, qualified teacher.
Marketing at Level Water isn’t just about selling events - it’s a core delivery mechanism in our Theory of Change. This role exists to move the levers that unlock more lessons, faster progression, stronger outcomes, and a sustainable income engine that funds it all.
This is the most exciting marketing job in the charity sector for the right person.
What you'll actually do
This role owns marketing as a growth engine. You'll set strategy, drive execution across multiple channels, and be accountable for how marketing translates into event sign-ups, fundraising growth, profile, and impact. You'll work closely with the Fundraising Director to shape priorities, influence decisions, and build something that scales.
Drive growth marketing that converts
-
Own end-to-end marketing for our events portfolio: from launch campaigns to sell-out.
-
Build and execute multi-channel campaigns across social, email, paid ads, PR, partnerships, and whatever else works.
-
Test everything. Audiences, messages, creative, channels. Find what works, double down, and scale it.
-
Use data to spot opportunities: which channels are converting? Where are we leaving growth on the table? What could we do differently?
-
Manage our digital advertising and paid social strategy with a ruthless focus on ROI.
-
Grow our email database and social audiences with intent, not just for vanity metrics.
-
Be trusted to repeatedly turn £1 into £5 or £10.
-
Define and unleash our audiences: help them share their stories in a way that turns experiences into future sales, and makes everything that Level Water does easier.
-
Build and manage our captain and ambassador programmes as genuine growth engines - nurturing relationships, setting expectations, and turning influence into measurable impact.

Hustle and drive. You take ownership. You spot opportunities and go after them. You don't wait to be told what to do.
-
A commercial approach. You think in terms of audiences, funnels, conversion, and scale. You understand what drives growth and you know how to execute it.

Copywriting chops. You can really write. Headlines that stop the scroll. Emails people actually read. Stories that land. You know that words matter.
-
A data brain. You can look at campaign performance and spot the story. You know that "CTR is up 18%" means something, and you know how to act on it.
-
A bias for action. You test things. You move fast. You're comfortable with uncertainty and you learn by doing.
-
Creative thinking. You generate ideas. You see opportunities others miss. You're not afraid to try something different.
-
Organisation. Strong attention to detail, with the ability to run 12 products, 40 email journeys and 100 web pages without dropping anything.
-
An entrepreneurial mindset. You think like an owner. If this were your business, how would you grow it?
Bonus points if:
-
You've worked in a startup, scale-up, or high-growth environment.
-
You've built audiences from scratch or scaled marketing profitably.
-
You've led paid campaigns that actually delivered ROI.
-
You've worked across multiple channels and understand how they work together.

Why Level Water?

Church Urban Fund has a proud history of being good news within our low-income communities across England. We partner with churches, social action charities and different faith communities to end poverty together.
For almost 40 years, Church Urban Fund has been enabling and supporting mission and ministry amongst the lowest income communities. Over the years we have developed several programmes which have made significant grassroots impact. Despite this work, and the work of many others, levels of poverty and engrained inequality remain desperately severe, despite living in one of the wealthiest countries.
This newly created role seeks to help us resource churches across England, so that we can achieve our vision of ending poverty and doing this together. The successful postholder will be key in helping develop new resources that sit alongside our very successful Growing Good resource and form part of our expanding Knowledge Bank that enables churches to have the knowledge, confidence and connection to engage with social action as a core part of their mission and serve their local communities. This role will also be influential in helping plan and deliver our increasingly popular and well attended webinars and in person events.
Our core mission is shaped by the drive to end poverty in all its forms, by developing partnerships and programmes to create a movement of love, justice and mercy. We are inspired by Jesus’ ministry to be with and alongside and serve the most marginalised and vulnerable in society, and follow his teaching to love our neighbours as ourselves.
We are seeking someone who is passionate about resourcing local churches to have knowledge, confidence and connection in serving their local areas, is skilled in developing and refreshing resources, can be persuasive in encouraging churches to engage with CUF’s range of resources, and is experienced in managing events (online and in person).
If you feel that this role could be for you, we would love to hear from you.
