Sands exists to save babies’ lives and ensure that anyone affected by pregnancy loss or baby death receives the support and care they need.
This role in our award winning public affairs and campaigns team plays a pivotal part in supporting the delivery of impactful campaigns which support Sands’ core aims to save babies’ lives and ensure that anyone affected by the death of a baby receives the care and support they need.
In this new and exciting role, you will support Sands campaigning activity at a local and national level across the UK, as well as supporting our public affairs activities including monitoring and recording parliamentary activity of relevance to Sands.
You will have excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to draft content for different audiences – ideally involving campaigns or public affairs/parliamentary work.
You will also need to have experience of responding to enquiries from members of the public, and of using Excel to manipulate data and store information.
A high level of flexibility and proactivity is essential, together with the ability to work well across different teams and on your own initiative.
You will therefore need to demonstrate a well-organised approach, be able to cope with demanding situations and meet tight deadlines.
In addition to the above, you will understand and empathise with the needs of bereaved parents and have an excellent understanding of diversity and inclusion.
