Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity enables families who have a child with a life-threatening or terminal illness to make the most of their time together, providing expert practical and emotional support where they need, it for as long as it is needed. For families living with childhood illness, time is everything. Right now, there are too many families coping alone with no support, no time to think, no time to make memories and no time for each other. We believe that no family should go through this alone, so we are here to change that.

Interviews will take place via Teams or in person with a date to be confirmed. We will only contact those applicants who have been successful.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all employees to share this commitment.
