Sands exists to save babies’ lives and ensure that anyone affected by pregnancy loss or baby loss receives the support and care they need.

Our Training and Education team ensure that healthcare professionals and volunteers have the knowledge and skills to offer safe care to families during pregnancy, and the highest quality care and support following the death of a baby. Our vision is for Sands to be the sector leader with a range of flexible, high-quality learning.

We are looking for an outstanding and people-focused candidate to lead and develop the team, including the promotion and delivery of programmes that positively impact on improving bereavement care and saving babies lives.

An excellent understanding of different training and education methods, including digital tools and resources is therefore essential.

An experienced senior manager, you will be able to contribute to the organisations’ strategic direction and have experience of setting individual and team objectives.

With a track record of providing thought leadership and innovation to develop creative solutions, you will be diplomatic and be able to establish productive working relationships with colleagues, volunteers and external stakeholders.
