Giggle Doctors are the public face of Theodora Children's Charity and deliver their unique service to children in hospitals, specialist care centres and occasionally other settings.
As a Giggle Doctor, you will adopt a playful approach to creating meaningful encounters for our beneficiaries: children and their families, healthcare teams and other staff working in our partner organisations. Drawing on play and performance techniques including magic, music, mime, storytelling, clowning, singing, improvisation, and puppetry, you will create authentic moments of connection which allow children to express themselves.
In each encounter, you will be led by the child, finding ways to give them control of their situation, improve their mood, reduce their anxiety, and increase the opportunities for them to play.
Bringing a professional attitude to your work as a Giggle Doctor, you will adapt to the specific needs expressed by the hospitals and specialist care centres. You will cultivate positive relationships with staff in partner organisations and seek to work collaboratively with them.
You will communicate professionally and proactively with the Giggle Doctor Programme Manager and Programme Coordinator when contributing feedback for the Giggle Doctor programmes and activities that you work on. You will also contribute to the development of new programmes and ideas in close collaboration with the Programme Department, and the Fundraising and Communication teams when required.
You will take pride in being a Theodora Children's Charity Giggle Doctor, always representing the Charity's values through your manner, behaviour, and appearance and always aspiring to bring a meaningful encounter to each child with whom you interact.
