Sands exists to reduce the number of babies dying and to support anyone affected by the death of a baby, before, during or shortly after birth.
As Sands grows, so too does our ambition to deliver high-impact and engaging projects across multi-disciplinary teams so that our training and our support services meet the needs of our beneficiaries.
We are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Project Manager to join our ambitious Partnerships and Philanthropy team. This is a new and important role for Sands as the post-holder will lead on the delivery of a programme of work that will enhance our vital bereavement in the workplace services.
The project is funded by the Department of Health and Social Care to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) improve women’s health in the workplace. Key workstreams include digitisation of Sands’ functions and services, and continued development of our expert Training & Education programmes and Bereavement Support Services. This new role is the key to the success of this valuable work.
With significant experience of leading multi-organisational and cross-team projects, you will have strong business acumen in order to maximise income generation opportunities.
An excellent leader and communicator, you will be responsible for engaging with internal and external stakeholders and be able to manage multiple work streams and project milestones concurrently.
Additionally, a high standard of budget management skills is required to ensure costs are recorded accurately and expenditure claimed correctly in line with agreed deadlines.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced project manager (from any sector), to make a real difference to the work of Sands.
