This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced communications professional looking for a part time role. Home-Start Oxford is a small but highly regarded charity providing support to vulnerable families with young children through their challenging times. We have ambitious plans to grow and reach more parents when they need us most. This new post to develop our communications, is key.
As well being a strategic thinker, you will be naturally curious with a journalistic flair for finding stories that can be told across a broad range of media. We are looking for:

Overview of the charity
Home-Start Oxford is a small charity making a big impact for families in the local area.

They may be struggling with mental health, illness, disability, multiple birth, poverty, domestic abuse, separation or trauma. We provide both 1:1 and group support, operating from bases in Oxford and Witney.
Our award-winning charity has been helping families in Oxford City, West and Central Oxfordshire for over 30 years. We are an independent charity, and part of the wider Home-Start network – the largest volunteer-led family support movement in the UK. We work closely with other local Home-Starts regionally and nationally, as well as with Home-Start UK
You will be part of a welcoming, committed team based in our office in Blackbird Leys. We offer flexible working, and you will be part of a team in which everyone works part-time.

The Role
It’s an exciting time to join Home-Start Oxford. We are embarking on an ambitious new three-year strategy to significantly increase the number of families we support through volunteer recruitment, training and fundraising.

We are in a strong place, and are investing in infrastructure and communications supported by a grant from Step-Change.
