Chief Executive Officer

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

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.
