Sands is the leading stillbirth and neonatal death charity and 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.
This is a high-profile and exciting new role which is responsible for ensuring the development and implementation of the Sands Across the UK project – a targeted change programme across England. Additionally, the post-holder will support existing volunteers and volunteering structures during the transition phase of the project, developing a strong understanding of their needs in order to contribute effectively to the change programme.
You will have excellent people management and leadership skills, with the ability to support and motivate others to engage with projects to ensure positive outcomes. Additionally, you will have proven ability in establishing high level, productive relationships with senior external stakeholders and organisations. A very high standard of verbal and written communication skills is therefore essential. Sands is committed to ensuring that diversity is central to all of our work, and you will need to ensure that the voice of bereaved parents is represented accordingly.
With experience of delivering, managing and evaluating national and regional change projects, you will be able to develop high quality resources which meet the needs of stakeholders including volunteering framework and advisory group documents.
Additionally, you will need to have experience of line management and have good time-management and organisational skills
