~ Can you inspire a movement of volunteers and staff to stand alongside families with young children?

~ Home-Start is there to ensure that no parent or carer feels alone as they seek to give their children the best possible start in life. With our distinctive offer of volunteer-led home visiting support, Home-Start offers emotional and practical support to parents and carers with young children facing challenges in life such as isolation, poor mental health and poverty.

At the heart of Home-Start is an inspirational network of 180 charities supporting over 43,000 families each year in communities across the UK. Home-Start UK is the central body in this network – supporting local Home-Starts and working to build national partnerships and profile. As a federation, we are a powerful combination of local charities close to the needs of communities alongside a UK-wide presence, voice and influence.

The pandemic left a long shadow on children’s development; and there has been an erosion of services available at the earliest moments of a child’s life. As the Director of Network Impact at Home-Start UK, your role is to help equip our Home-Start network to face into all of these challenges.

As an established senior leader, you will have with a track record of managing complex relationships – possibly, but not necessarily, within a federated or networked environment.

This is a compelling opportunity to join Home-Start UK and help build the sustainability, quality and impact of local Home-Starts. You will be joining a committed talented team at Home-Start UK, ambitious for growth and a supportive, flexible working environment. We are excited to hear from you in this exciting leadership role at such a crucial time for families and children.
