Introduction

The Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital Charity supports the Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital for Wales in providing world class care, helping to ensure the best outcome and experience possible for children and their families.

Our aim as a charity is to create brighter todays and better tomorrows for the children of Wales. Having raised more than £22 million to build and equip the hospital, today we continue to work hand in hand with the NHS, providing funding for the most up to date equipment and facilities. We also fund support services for families like the play specialist team, who help children be children, despite the difficulties they are facing.

The Role

We are looking for a compassionate, enthusiastic and creative individual with experience of working with children and families to join a small but highly motivated team. You will have the opportunity to see the impact that your role and that of the wider charity makes to the children and families we support.

There are many ways in which you will be providing joy, fun and moments of sparkle to the patients and families in the hospital. The role is very varied, and no two days are the same! In any given week you could be organising hospital wide activities for Easter, celebrating a birthday with a long-term patient, arranging for a massage therapist to provide a break for parents, and distributing essentials packs for a family arriving to hospital in an emergency.
