Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity care about people, providing support for patients, their parents, carers, brothers, sisters, and grandparents. Any family can receive free support from the moment of their child's diagnosis.
The Surrey-based organisation provides support workers for families who have a child with a life-threatening or terminal illness. It has teams of support workers across the UK, providing emotional and practical support at home, at the hospital, and in the community.
Its commitment to supporting and developing employees is central to its goal of becoming a high-performing organisation. People care about and support each other at Rainbow Trust and go the extra mile to get things done. The leadership team ensures it has the support it needs, from professional development to emotional and practical help.
Staff are encouraged to read as a way to take a break and alleviate stress. The charity offers prizes for a photograph of the best-dressed reader or the most unusual reading place.
The charity operates a "total reward" scheme for staff that recognises the diverse needs of the workforce. It focuses on non-financial rewards, as well as remuneration, including learning and development opportunities and/or an attractive and flexible working environment, in addition to the wider benefits package.
As well as a salary review, high performers are given a choice of additional benefits. It means the employee can choose the benefits that are valuable to them.

The charity has an internal performance management process which aims to encourage year-on-year performance and achievement against agreed objectives. It conducts salary benchmarking on an annual basis to assess its pay rates against the market, and percentage pay increases are awarded in line with external market forces, internal considerations, and sustainability.

We are extremely proud of our continued achievements and the commitment seen by our staff. We recruit people who are passionate about what we do and we aim to look after them well, because our success, and the care we provide to families, depends on having a team that is motivated, passionate and committed to learning and sharing. With over 36 years of care our vision continues to be that every family in the UK who has a child with a life-threatening illness receives the support they need. It has long been a strategic priority for us to grow our care services to reach more families, both in the regions where we already support and in new areas; and it is extremely exciting that we have been able to establish care teams in two new locations this year - one in Liverpool to expand coverage in the North West and into Wales, and one in Reading to boost care provision in the South. We couldn’t do any of this without our dedicated teams. Thank you!
