At Home-Start Barnet, we believe every child deserves the best possible start. We walk alongside families with young children, offering non-judgmental support through life’s toughest times. Now, we’re looking for a passionate and dedicated Family Support Coordinator to join our team.
This role focuses mainly on families living in Brent and Barnet, with children aged under 5. Since the pandemic, there has been a noted decline in the readiness of children in starting school, and there has been a greater identification of neurodivergence and complex additional needs at an early age. For many of our families, this has been even more impactful due to the multiple vulnerability factors that many families are experiencing – many are migrant and transient families, lone parents, those living in poverty, having multiple young children in a single household, with experience of domestic abuse or substance use.
About the Role
As a Family Support Coordinator, you’ll play a vital role in helping families with young children who are experiencing multiple challenges. You’ll:
-
Work directly with families to help children meet key early years milestones and prepare for school.
-
Run parenting workshops, stay and play groups and peer-support sessions that empower parents
-
Recruit, train, and support a team of incredible volunteers who make a lasting difference in children’s lives.
-
Collaborate with professionals across health, education, and social care to provide a truly joined-up approach to family support.
Why Join Us?
-
Be part of a warm, committed, and supportive team who share your passion for making a difference.
-
Receive a thorough induction, work shadowing, and ongoing training to help you succeed.
-
Benefit from regular supervision and peer support to keep you motivated and supported.
-
Work flexibly – we welcome applications for both full-time and part-time positions.
About You
We’re looking for someone who:
-
Understands the challenges families face and how these impact childhood development.
-
Has experience of supporting vulnerable families, ideally in early years or family services.
-
Can confidently coordinate volunteers and inspire them to achieve the best outcomes.
-
Brings empathy, resilience, and excellent communication skills.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
