- To improve mental well-being by providing coping mechanisms to build emotional strength and resilience when living with grief
We are looking for a dedicated and compassionate individual who wants to support our bereaved community. We are looking for someone who has an understanding of grief and baby loss and who can provide empathetic support and guidance to families who have lost one or more of their babies.
We are looking for someone who will push forward with our new strategy and to continue to grow and manage our peer- to-peer support service by recruiting volunteers and running an organised and effective volunteer led service.
The ideal candidate will continue to develop our bereavement service and make it as impactful as possible by raising the profile of the service, establishing networks with other charities, growing the microsite and engaging with our bereaved community in a supportive and professional manner.
Location: Hybrid/remote. Office space in London Bridge and Woking, although entirely remote option is fine.
