Job description

Home-Merton is seeking an inspiring and strategic Director to lead our trusted local charity through its next stage of growth and innovation. 

This is a rare opportunity to make a tangible difference for children and families — by strengthening our community presence, driving income generation, and ensuring every child gets the best possible start in life. 

 About Home-Start Merton – Making a difference to young families

We believe strong families make strong communities. 
Our trained volunteers provide emotional and practical support to parents of young children, helping them navigate the challenges of early childhood and family life. 

Operating across London borough of Merton, we are a small but vibrant, values-driven charity and part of the wider Home-Start network — one of the UK’s leading family support movements. 

Our Charity Director Role

As Director, you’ll be both strategic leader and hands-on advocate, driving our fundraising and partnership agenda while overseeing operational excellence. 

You’ll lead our talented team of employees, work closely with trustees, and represent our charity with energy and passion — ensuring we remain a visible and trusted voice for families across Merton. 

Key Responsibilities 

  • Lead and inspire staff and volunteers to deliver high-impact family support services. 
  • Oversee service delivery, safeguarding, and operational compliance. 
  • Develop and implement a bold, diversified fundraising and income generation strategy. 
  • Build and nurture relationships with funders, corporates, philanthropists, and community partners. 
  • Act as a confident ambassador, raising the organisation’s profile locally and regionally. 
  • Work closely with the Board of Trustees on governance, strategy, and long-term sustainability. 

About You 

You are: 

  • Experienced in charity governance, financial management, and service delivery. 
  • A proven fundraiser and relationship builder who can secure sustainable income across multiple sources. 
  • A confident and inclusive leader who inspires and empowers teams. 
  • Skilled in partnership development and community engagement. 
  • Deeply committed to safeguarding, equality, and family wellbeing. 

Why Join Us? 

  • Lead one of London’s most respected family charities. 
  • Shape our strategy for growth and sustainability. 
  • Join a passionate, values-led team and supportive board. 
  • Enjoy flexible, hybrid working. 

How to Apply 

If you meet most but not all of our criteria and are passionate about giving children the best start in life we'd still like to hear from you.

Apply via CharityJob or reach out to our Chair for an informal conversation. 

Closing Date: Friday 12 December 2025

Home-Start Merton is committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
