About London Youth
We are London Youth: a charity on a mission to support the capital’s youth sector to improve the lives of young people. We do this with and through our members – a network of 600 youth organisations – and at our two outdoor residential centres, Hindleap Warren and Woodrow High House.
Throughout our 135-year history, community youth organisations have provided a constant lifeline and a vital safe space outside the family and formal education, where young people can develop confidence, resilience and skills. Young people need opportunities outside school to have fun with their friends, to make a positive change in their communities and to shape the city they live in.

We are seeking an experienced, dedicated, and passionate Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to join us at
an exciting stage in our history at SiMBA, as we embark on embedding and delivering upon a
refreshed vision, mission and strategy.
Our CEO will lead our team in meeting our strategic goals, work in collaboration with our Board of

raising the profile of SiMBA within the bereavement care sector.
Our CEO will focus on building strategic partnerships with other organisations with aligned goals and
values, cementing SiMBA’s niche amongst the range of charities who support bereaved families
through the loss of their baby, and will empower our fundraising team to raise the funds necessary
to achieve our goals.
Having a strong grasp of the challenges facing the Charity and bringing creativity, a practical and
commercial approach to decision making, as well as being a ‘people person’ is essential to help SiMBA
support as many bereaved families as possible in Scotland to grieve, honour and remember their
precious baby.

Our CEO must guide our hard-working and dedicated team as we refine our offer and build our
impact and reach within Scotland.
Our CEO, along with all of our team, will have contact with people who have experienced the loss
of a baby; parents, family members, friends, colleagues and healthcare professionals who are
supporting them. Therefore, it is important to feel comfortable working in a bereavement
care environment and talking about baby loss with multiple stakeholders.
