Sands exists to save babies' lives and ensure that anyone affected by pregnancy loss or baby loss receives the support and care they need.
Sands is looking for an experienced project officer to support the development and rollout of the National Bereavement Pathways for Pregnancy and Baby Loss across Wales.

You will be able to establish and maintain productive relationships with a wide variety of internal and external stakeholders, working in a collaborative and inclusive way.
An excellent communicator, you will be able to absorb and understand complex issues and communicate them effectively to public and professional audiences.
