We know how much difference a Health Play Specialist can make to children who are
seriously ill and for a lot of hospitals and community healthcare settings these roles can fall by
the wayside when budgets are critically tight. Our pilot Starlight Health Play Specialist project
has now demonstrated the positive impact of play staff for babies, children and families.
We’ve already learned so much and are designing an impact assessment tool with the
practitioners. Although the setup of the project is done, there is lots of learning still to do and
the manager of this work will facilitate and maximise this learning.
Starlight Health Play Specialists not only create the time, space and opportunity for children to
play, whether that’s for preparation for procedures, management of anxiety, entertainment
during long periods of boredom or aiding recovery. They carry out on-the-ground research,
measure impact of activities, sharing their learning with us and help us to really understand
what makes a brilliant Health Play Specialist and develop standards and training.They are
beacons of good practice, championing and protecting play in healthcare – and that is where
you, our new Play Specialist Programme Manager, come in.
Thank you!

We are recruiting a Senior Partnerships Manager at the Fairtrade Foundation to cover a period of Maternity Leave. This senior manager will play a crucial role in spanning knowledge across supply chains and commodities to provide an end-to-end service relationship for our major commercial partners.
This individual will need technical knowledge and the appetite to immerse themselves in varying supply chains whilst demonstrating commercial and relationship management to build a multi-faceted partnership with different functions of the organisation.

You’ll need to be a strong relationship builder with businesses (including at a senior level) and a quick learner in an evolving environment, with experience working in, with or for commercial partners and in the sustainability context.
Fairtrade changes the way trade works through better prices, decent working conditions and a fairer deal for farmers and workers around the world. Globally, across all Fairtrade members, we share a vision of a world in which all farmers and workers can enjoy secure and sustainable livelihoods, fulfil their potential and decide on their future. To achieve this we connect disadvantaged farmers and workers with consumers, promote fairer trading conditions, and empower farmers and workers to combat poverty, strengthen their position and take more control of their lives.
The Fairtrade Foundation is an equal opportunities employer, offers flexible working and welcomes applications from all sections of the community. We particularly welcome applications from candidates with ethnically diverse backgrounds, LGBTQ+ candidates and from candidates with disabilities, because we would like to increase the representation of these groups at this level.
