Together, the charities Sands and Tommy’s have formed a Joint Policy Unit (JPU) focussed on achieving policy change that will save more babies’ lives during pregnancy and the neonatal period and on tackling inequalities in loss, so that everyone can benefit from the best possible outcomes.

The JPU’s mission is to secure policy change that will reduce rates of miscarriage, stillbirth, pre-term birth and neonatal death, and to work to eliminate inequalities in these outcomes.

While there is widespread agreement on the need for change to improve the safety of maternity and neonatal services, what that change looks like is not clear.  To save more babies’ lives we believe that a continued focus is required, and that governments should set new commitments to reduce perinatal mortality and preterm births, focused on matching the best-performing countries in Europe.

This role will be crucial to the continued success of the JPU unit; leading, shaping and coordinating all the unit’s work. 

We are looking for an independent and assertive problem-solver, a policy expert who can manage multiple priorities, take the initiative, lead the national conversation and is as excited as we are about taking the helm of this venture for both of our organisations.

The successful candidate will need to have a substantial track record of effectively leading and implementing national policy and influencing programmes, driving change and achieving the desired impact.

You will have considerable experience across research, data analysis, policy development, public affairs and communications.  Additionally, you will be well-versed in research and data management, including analysing complex data and evaluating policy developments.

Experience of being a member of a senior management team with successful, significant and relevant management and leadership experience is also essential.

Are you someone who believes that the unique power of sport positively impacts the lives of disabled people?

We're seeking a Senior Partnerships Officer to help us expand our Coaching and Training offerings. In this dynamic role, you'll be the driving force behind forming new partnerships and strengthening existing networks. You’ll also manage exciting collaborations and think creatively about community sports development and its impact, helping shape opportunities that truly make a difference.

You will identify opportunities by generating leads, attending events, and engaging stakeholders to grow. You’ll have the chance to work across our project portfolio, delivering outcomes for our partners and funders, including Nike and London Sport.

Through line-managing our Workforce Development Officer, you will oversee the development of our talented and inspiring workforce, who are vital to our success.

You will play a key part in generating unrestricted funding to support our core operations and initiatives. Contributing to our “Enrich” strategic strand, a central focus will be fostering trust within the communities we serve, enriching the experiences of disabled people.

The role addresses gaps in delivery to meet the needs of underserved communities, supports the development of coaches by creating paid opportunities and mentorship for disabled coaches, and promotes awareness and attendance at our Community Clubs.

Working closely with the Head of Service Delivery, you’ll help shape the future by developing sustainable pipelines for growth, while playing your part in responding to enquiries as a valued member of our friendly team.

We’re looking for someone with a growth mindset who thrives within a small and inclusive delivery team. A positive team oriented attitude is key. We encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds who may not meet every qualification but are passionate about the role and bring relevant skills and experience.

If you are excited about the position of Senior Partnerships Officer, we would love to hear from you.

Are you eager to make a difference in health and care but don’t know how to get started? Do you want to learn how policy is made, how senior leaders are influenced, and how research drives change?

We’re looking for a Policy and Research Intern to join our Policy and Influence team for nine months. This is a unique chance to take your first step on the policy career ladder – no prior policy experience required.

In this role, you’ll be right at the centre of our work with senior nursing and midwifery leaders.

You’ll help deliver high-profile events like webinars and roundtables, track and report on member benefits, and contribute to live policy and research projects that shape the future of the NHS and wider system.

We don’t expect you to arrive knowing it all. What matters is your enthusiasm for FNF’s mission, your willingness to learn, and your drive to get stuck in. In return, you’ll gain hands-on experience, work alongside senior stakeholders, and build the skills and confidence to take the next step in your career.

What we’re looking for:

• A genuine interest in health policy and influencing
• Strong organisational and communication skills
• Someone proactive, flexible, and ready to muck in
• A team player who wants to learn and grow
• Demonstrable evidence of how you have lived FNF’s values

This is a nine-month paid internship (at the National Living Wage), with plenty of flexibility and hybrid working. You can join us part-time (three days a week) or full-time — whichever works best for you.

If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves, learn by doing, and kick start your career in health policy and influencing, we’d love to hear from you. You’ll be part of a dynamic, ambitious team that’s making a real difference — and excited to have you on the journey with us.

• Foster an inclusive, positive volunteer culture, ensuring volunteers feel valued and engaged.

Compliance, Monitoring & Resource Management

• Ensure compliance with Food Hygiene, Health & Safety, and Environmental Standards, maintaining accurate records and certifications.
• Manage budgets effectively, ensuring value for money and accurate reporting.

• Together with partners and colleagues, explore the implementation of employment focussed opportunities for residents, for example via deliveries on the cargo bikes.

  Project Awareness & Marketing

• Work with our marketing team to introduce creative community campaigns (e.g., Reverse Advent, seasonal drives, sponsorships) to encourage donations of both food and direct funds.
• Promote the projects with local partners, for example working with local schools to maximise harvest deliveries and raise the profile of the project.
