- Learning - Our diocese has been a major engine of Christian learning and education, from the time of King Alfred onwards, and remains a centre of education, learning and discipleship, through its universities and colleges, through its schools and churches.
- Growing - Our diocese has been a huge catalyst for church growth and mission. Today, we are still working for the revitalisation and renewal of our churches, equipping and enabling them for the challenges of this generation and beyond, nationally and internationally.
- Loving - Our diocese has emanated love that has changed our communities and the wider world. Today, as people encounter our churches, schools and chaplaincies, they find themselves brought face to face with the love of God in Christ, and find their lives changed as a consequence.
Job Summary

- Assist with the development of a strategic plan which grows the diocesan presence on new platforms, such as TikTok and BlueSky, with the specific aim of generating content that reaches younger audiences and that is more missional and ‘gospel-centred’, keeping up to date with online trends.
- Working closely with Mission and Ministry Team to communicate their training and events in ways tailored to younger audiences, and building collaborative networks of young people and youth leaders and comms people around the diocese who will share our content.

Do you have significant experience facilitating activities with young people, the ability to deliver exceptionally engaging team-challenge sessions to classes from KS2 to Sixth Form, and a commitment to professionalism and a big sense of fun? If so, read on...
Hours: Freelance - hired on a day-by-day basis
Location: London / South East
Pay: £150-200 p/day depending on level of responsibility, plus travel expenses
Closing date: Friday 5th September
Commencement: We run these days all year round, yet would be looking to get you along to watch one of our September days for both you and us to work out if it’s a good fit, and if possible, induct you!
What do we do, and what’s our impact?
We’re a small, creative, and fast-growing team who run team-challenges days in schools, usually for a whole year group. We work in both the maintained and independent sector across London and the South East.
Our days each bring numerous positive benefits to young people, such as developments in:
-
Speaking confidence
-
Collaborative skills
-
Independent thinking
-
Leadership
-
Taking responsibility
-
Sense of adventure
-
Personal organisation
How do we do it? We deliver activities and experiences, both indoors and outdoors, such as:
-
Team-building
-
Improv workshops
-
Public speaking
-
Orienteering
-
Catapult creation
-
Puzzle games
-
Interview training
-
Archery
-
Axe-throwing
…that will develop their skills, confidence and self-esteem - both inside and beyond the classroom.
Head to our website to learn more.
Note: We also run a small number of other businesses that work with schools and young people. Each operates in distinct yet overlapping areas of education - so there may be opportunity for successful candidates to be offered work for these too.
Outspark provides the Duke of Edinburgh Award expedition element at Bronze, Silver and Gold.
The Philosophy Man delivers workshops and training to help schools embed philosophy, oracy and metacognition into their curriculum
P4HE provides online and in-person workshops in philosophy, debating, acting, writing and more, for home and mainstream educated children from 6 to 18. It also runs regular residential weekends in Kettering.
Our ambitions
Hidden Leaders currently works with 20 schools across London and the South East (and dozens more in our other organisations above). Word is spreading about us and we are growing in size, and we anticipate delivering even more sessions in schools in the coming years. And so we are looking to expand our small, trusted expert group of freelance facilitators to help us deliver this impact.
Opportunities we can offer you:
-
Real impact: You’ll be on the frontline of our in-school days delivering a programme that makes a real difference to children’s confidence and skills
-
Growth and development: We’re looking for people with existing significant experience in any of the activities listed above, but you’ll also receive full training and induction on all activities - and opportunities to attend further CPD events we put on to become even better at what you do
-
A friendly and driven team: We are a collaborative, supportive, and flexible team that values innovation and achieving meaningful outcomes
-
Choice: We have several set dates in schools each year, usually in Summer term and in late August into September - which you may be offered and can choose whether to take or not. We’re also looking to expand our work in the months in between.
The Role
We’re looking for experienced, energetic and confident freelance facilitators to help us deliver our tried-and-tested activities — from team-building and orienteering to improv games, problem-solving challenges, debates, archery, and axe throwing. We don’t expect anyone to be experienced in all of these - every member of our team of freelancers has their own areas of expertise and choose to be deployed on particular activities that most suit their skills and experience.
You’ll be working with a diverse range of schools, from primary and prep schools, right through secondary to sixth forms, facilitating sessions to inspire teamwork, communication, resilience, and leadership.
You’ll always be working on a day under the guidance of one of our Founder Directors, Tom and Alex.
Important to know
We are looking for freelancers who may be available for work and who fit our ethos, values and activities to whom we can offer as and when it comes in.
We couldn’t do what we do without our core team of trusted freelancers. We look after those we work with by offering regular training and observation opportunities so they can expand their repertoire.
However, joining our pool of freelancers will not involve a fixed contract of employment or a guarantee of regular work. Our existing freelancers work with us anywhere between 3 - 15 days per/year. Such work offers very useful supplementary income alongside other roles at other organisations (or their own) rather than a core income. Our busiest times of year are:
September — where we deliver team building/bonding days for new year groups
May, June and July — where we deliver similar days but usually as part of school activity weeks
We anticipate further growth at these times, and also are looking to expand our offer to more indoor/lower cost days in the Autumn/Spring term. And to deliver these we will need more staff!

-
Reliable, punctual, and comfortable arriving at a school to help us set up at 8am, and be packing down with us afterwards

A big sense of fun and joy in what you do - we don’t do dry
-
The ability to relate to young people in a way that isn’t “teacherly” but at the same time firm and in-command

-
Any experience running activities not listed above, but that you’d think schools would love as part of our Team Challenge days
-
Are confident speaking in front of larger groups such as school assemblies or full year-group briefings

At Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity, we proudly support Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust: one of only three specialist children’s hospital trusts in the UK. For nearly 150 years, the hospital has been at the heart of our community, delivering outstanding care to children and young people across South Yorkshire, Bassetlaw and North Derbyshire, and specialist services reaching far beyond the region.
Our vision is clear: a world of excellence and innovation in children’s health. Every day, we fund projects that go beyond the NHS provision, from ground-breaking research and cutting-edge equipment to inspiring spaces and new facilities designed with children in mind.
Next year, as we celebrate our 150th anniversary, we are looking firmly to the future. We are committed to funding £5 million of transformational projects over the next 5 years; projects that directly improve the lives of the children and families who need Sheffield Children’s the most.
We are driven by our values – ACE IT: Accountability, Compassion, Excellence, Inclusivity, Together. These values guide both our culture and our impact. We are an ambitious, supportive and dynamic team where people are encouraged to grow, thrive and bring bold ideas to life.
This is an exciting moment in our story, and a unique opportunity to join us as we enter a historic year and a new era of growth. Together with our colleagues, partners and supporters, we will build on 150 years of care to create a future where every child receives the very best treatment, in the very best environment.
About the role
As Director of Impact and Charitable Programmes, you will ensure every pound raised by the Charity delivers the greatest possible benefit for children, families and staff at Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust. This new senior leadership role carries significant autonomy, overseeing the strategy and operations of the charity’s grant-making function and the Art+ team.
You will lead the team managing grant applications, from small-scale requests to major projects, ensuring funds are strategically allocated, transparently managed, and rigorously evaluated to maximise impact. Reporting to the CEO and working closely with internal colleagues, and a wide range of NHS partners, you will provide strategic oversight of key projects, monitor delivery and outcomes and embed a culture of evidence-based decision-making across the organisation.
In addition, you will lead and champion the charity-funded Art+ programme, supporting participatory arts initiatives that enhance the patient environment and contribute to creative therapeutic care.
As a visible and influential member of the Senior Leadership team, you will help shape organisational strategy, represent the charity externally and ensure governance, compliance and risk management underpin all decisions.
This is an extraordinary opportunity to lead and innovate, translating charitable support into measurable, lasting impact for children and families.
Who we are looking for
We are seeking a dynamic and strategic leader with a proven track record in delivering meaningful outcomes through grant-making or charitable programmes. You will bring expertise in monitoring, evaluation and impact measurement, translating complex data into clear, compelling impact stories.
The ideal candidate will inspire and develop high-performing teams, foster collaboration across internal teams and NHS partners, and embed a culture of evidence-based decision-making and continuous learning. A strong understanding of healthcare, creative health, or participatory arts programmes is highly desirable, alongside familiarity with capital or environmental improvement projects within complex organisations.
Above all, you will be passionate about making a tangible difference in children’s health, helping to turn charitable support into initiatives that improve lives, create better hospital environments, and inspire future donors.
