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.

We anticipate most colleagues will work two days a week in the office on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, East London and the rest of the time from home.  We will happily discuss other flexible options to suit your circumstances.

We particularly welcome applications from black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, LGBTQ+ candidates, disabled candidates, and from men, because we would like to increase the representation of these groups at this level at UNICEF UK. We want to do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for children.

UNICEF UK promotes equality, diversity and inclusion in our workplace. We make employment decisions by matching business needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.

We welcome a conversation about your flexible working requirements, personal growth, and promoting a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.

The successful candidate will be required to apply for a criminal records check. A criminal record will not necessarily bar you from working with us. This will depend on the nature of the role and the circumstances of your offences.

We only accept online applications as this saves us money, making more funds available for us to help ensure children’s rights.

If you require support in completing the online form or an application form in an alternative format, please contact the Supporter Care line during office hours.

If you do not hear from us within 14 days of the closing date, please assume your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion. Please note that we only provide feedback to shortlisted candidates.

Circle Collective is a London-based youth employment charity working with communities to improve access to employment, training, and life opportunities for young people. We focus on partnership-led, place-based approaches, working with local authorities, employers, housing providers, and community organisations to deliver programmes that respond to local need. We support young people aged 16–25 to access real opportunities, develop confidence, and secure sustainable employment. We are looking for an experienced Senior Job Coach to play a key role in delivering our Back Your Future programme in Lewisham.

This is a senior, hands-on role combining direct work with young people and responsibility for driving performance, employer engagement, safeguarding practice, and programme quality. You will manage a complex caseload of young people facing a range of barriers to employment, while also contributing to KPI delivery, CRM data quality, funder reporting, and continuous improvement across the programme.

You will deliver high-quality one-to-one coaching and group employability workshops, develop tailored action plans, and support young people to progress into sustained employment, education, or training. You will maintain high expectations of engagement and progression, using data and professional judgement to identify risks early and put effective interventions in place.

Alongside delivery, you will play a key role in building and maintaining strong employer partnerships. This includes working closely with corporate partners to plan and deliver employer engagement activity such as insight days, mock interviews, mentoring, and recruitment opportunities, as well as proactively bringing new employers on board to expand the range of work experience and job outcomes available to young people.

Safeguarding is central to this role. You will actively promote the welfare of young people, identify and manage safeguarding concerns, complete risk assessments, and work collaboratively with external agencies to ensure young people receive coordinated and appropriate support. You will contribute to a culture of trauma-informed, youth-centred practice across the programme.

As a senior practitioner, you will take responsibility for accurate CRM data entry and quality assurance, including completing regular compliance checks to ensure evidence, outcomes, and KPIs are recorded to a high standard. You will contribute to funder reporting, audits, and internal performance reviews, using insight and learning to support ongoing programme development.

We are looking for an experienced employability professional with a strong track record of achieving job outcomes in a target-driven or contract-funded environment, confidence working with data and performance measures, and a genuine commitment to supporting young people to succeed. Experience of employer engagement, safeguarding, and working with young people facing complex barriers is essential.

If you are motivated by impact, value collaboration and lived experience, and want to play a meaningful role in helping young people move into sustainable employment, we would love to hear from you.
