Second Interview: w/c 6th January 2025 

Prospectus is delighted to be partnering Starlight, the national charity for children’s play in healthcare. Starlight supports children and their families to enjoy the power of play to help boost their wellbeing and resilience during treatment, care, and recovery from serious illness. Their mission is to enable all children in the UK to have their right to play protected and provided for when they are receiving healthcare – in or out of hospital. They are now looking to recruit a passionate Service Delivery Manager to lead their Health Play Services. This is initially a 6 month contract, whilst the current incumbent is seconded to another team internally.  

Working closely with their Head of Play Services, as Service Delivery Manager you will provide operational management to the Health Play team, leading on the end-to-end process of their Health Play services. You’ll work across all areas, from procurement through stock and budget control, to the logistics of delivery. You will also develop and maintain effective relationships with a range of stakeholders including health professionals, suppliers and distributors to ensure the delivery of services is cost effective, high quality and fit for purpose.

To be considered for this role, you'll need to be experienced in the operational management of successful, direct service delivery (including logistics, procurement and stock control), and will have demonstrable line management experience. You’ll be skilled at developing relationships with a range of internal and external stakeholders for the benefit of service provision, and will have a genuine passion for the impactful, incredible work that Starlight provides. Although not essential, insight and knowledge of working with the NHS is advantageous, as is previous experience of the children's, hospital or play sectors.    

Please apply with your CV only in the first instance, in a Microsoft Word format. Following your initial application, you may be contacted by Prospectus for an informal discussion, and may be invited to provide further information to assist with the recruitment process.  

As a specialist Recruitment Practice, we are committed to building inclusive and diverse organisations, and welcome applications from all sections of the community. We invest in your journey as a candidate and are committed to supporting you in your application.

Due to the nature of this initially being a 6 month contract, please only apply if you are available immediately, or have no more than a 1 month notice period.

About The Connection at St Martin’s

We believe that no one should have to sleep rough on London’s streets, and that everyone should get the support they need to find a place to call home. We get to know every person we work with, understanding what they need to recover, helping them build on their strengths, and supporting them to find their own way home. Help us make London a city where no one sleeps rough on our streets.

London’s diversity is its biggest asset and we strive to ensure our workforce reflects London’s diversity at all levels. We welcome applications from everyone regardless of age, gender, gender identity, gender expression, ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith or disability.

We particularly encourage applications from candidates with lived experience of homelessness who we believe are an essential asset in our sector.

We are committed to being an inclusive employer and welcome the opportunity to consider flexible working arrangements.

About the Role

The Connection at St. Martins is based in the heart of London, in the most concentrated area of rough sleeping in the UK.  We have an ambitious strategy to tackle rough sleeping in central London with those people who are most persistently on the streets. Building relationships of trust with clients is at the heart of our work.  To achieve this in practice, we have a fully trauma informed approach across the whole charity with psychologists embedded in our service delivery teams.

Alongside running our busy day centre at Adelaide Street by Trafalgar Square, we are developing our access to accommodation.  This includes a project to extend our scheme in Clapham with a new building during 2025.  The extension will provide 3 additional studio flats and activity spaces.  This is the first in a longer term goal to introduce more accommodation into our service portfolio so that we can house an additional 300 of our Adelaide Street clients by 2028.  We are also keen to develop our links into health, through partnerships with the NHS and other treatment services.  Finally, we would like to further improve our offer for women and for people with No Recourse to Public Funds. 

The Director of Services is a vital role for us and this is an incredibly exciting opportunity for someone who shares our passion for addressing rough sleeping.  The successful candidate will be ambitious and tenacious in developing high quality services and growing our support.  They must be able to build really strong relationships with clients, colleagues and stakeholders alongside bringing extensive experience from homelessness, mental health, addiction or the criminal justice sector. 

Our Director of Services will: 

• Ensure excellent service delivery which reflects our Theory of Change; 
• Deliver the charity’s Service Quality and Development strategy; 
• Take forward our emerging accommodation models and our links into health services; 
• Provide financial management and secure resources for service delivery; 
• Work with the Board and the Service Quality and Development Sub Committee, sharing progress against objectives and reporting results; 
• Provide leadership with the staff team, particularly in services, promoting our cultural traits and behaviours in everything we do.
