Baby Loss - Hospital Liaison Volunteer

• CEASED Glasgow SANDS

• VO105333

Sands Hospital Liaison Volunteers (HLVs) are instrumental to Sands' work with healthcare professionals, by meeting with and offering Sands resources and services to them. We are looking for volunteers to cover Princess Royal Maternity and Queen Elizabeth hospital.
Our aim is to ensure that every hospital in the UK has access to a HLV to signpost and promote Sands support services, training, resources, and bereavement care guidance (where applicable) enabling healthcare professionals to provide excellent bereavement care.
The HLV role advocates for parents and hospital staff by providing essential feedback, enabling Sands to support health professionals and parents better. The role will also involve liaising with the local Sands group, Glasgow Sands.

Experience required

Before you apply to become a Sands Hospital Liaison Volunteer, please make sure you meet the following requirements:
You must be over 18 . If you are bereaved, at least 12 months have elapsed since your own bereavement. Many of our volunteers tell us that they had no idea how these first anniversaries would affect them until they happened. You would benefit from having an understanding and awareness of pregnancy loss and baby death.

Travel details

The role can be carried out at home via emails/phone calls. It will also involve travelling to the hospital for meeting and engagement with the relevant staff.
