Would you like to provide services on behalf of the much-loved Scottish charity which won the SCVO People’s Choice Award in 2024? Simba Charity is here to support anyone affected by baby loss, now and always. We help bereaved families create precious memories with their baby and offer tangible ways to honour and remember them.
Thanks to a generous grant from The National Lottery Community Fund, we are looking for a Community Project Officer to deliver services for a 12-month period to help further develop Simba’s memory making activities with a focus on education, learning and development. Working closely with our Community Outreach Lead and the wider Simba team, the role includes developing links with Healthcare Professionals in Hospitals and the Community and other likeminded organisations.
You will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, demonstrating sensitivity and empathy in dealing with bereavement and baby loss. An understanding of the unique challenges faced by bereaved families and the ability to establish meaningful connections are essential. A proactive approach to collaboration with healthcare professionals, the community, and other likeminded organisations is required.
Simba has a set of values, outlined within our Strategy which is available on our website. We are committed to selecting people based on their ability to do the role for which they are being recruited. We would especially welcome applications from underrepresented groups within the baby loss community.
