Sands
58 Liverpool Rd, Penwortham, Preston, Lancashire PR1 0DQ, UK
Sands is a well-respected national charity that: • Supports anyone affected by the death of a baby • Works in partnership with health professionals to ensure that bereaved parents and families receive the best possible care. • Promotes and funds research that could help to reduce loss of babies' lives A strength of Sands is the network of over 100 Groups around the UK, each with its own committee, local fundraising and bank account, working within the Sands Group Constitution. Sands supports the Groups through a team of Network Co-ordinators who act as the main point of contact for the volunteers in their region. The Co-ordinators provide advice and assistance to the Groups, and work to strengthen the Network, building it into a resource for sharing good practice and a resilient structure that can complement and enhance the work of the Groups. We are looking for a highly motivated person with a flexible approach who can take forward the work of developing the existing West Network, which covers The West and East Midlands, Cheshire, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Shropshire and Staffordshire. Sands currently has 11 Groups based in our West Network who support bereaved parents, provide materials to hospitals and promote training for professionals, and fundraise for these and other Sands projects, including our research goals. Although this is a home based role, some travel is required around the West Network, along with occasional travel further afield for staff days. This is a key role which helps us to promote Sands' vision; a world where fewer babies die and when a baby dies anyone affected by the death receives the best care and support for as long as they need. If you have a positive 'can do' attitude with excellent organisational and communication skills (both verbal and written), experience of working with volunteers, the ability to remain calm under pressure and work in a confidential setting, together with a strong commitment to, and belief in, the values of the services that Sands provides, then we would welcome your application for this role. This is a permanent role, and the hours of work are 21 hours per week.
