refreshed vision, mission and strategy.
Our CEO will lead our team in meeting our strategic goals, work in collaboration with our Board of
Trustees to develop our strategic direction, and ensure that we are operationally effective whilst
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.
Expertise in strategic planning, financial management, and effective charity governance is critical.
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.
