Make a real difference to families every day
Are you passionate about supporting families and giving children the best start in life?
We’re looking for a Family Support and Activities Coordinator to join our friendly and committed team. This is a varied, hands-on role where no two days are the same. You’ll work directly with families in their homes and communities, coordinate volunteers, and plan engaging activities for young children and parents.
About the role
You’ll support families with young children who may be facing challenges such as isolation, low confidence, or complex needs. At the same time, you’ll design and deliver fun, development-focused activities and groups that help children thrive and parents feel more confident.
A key part of this role is delivering sessions during school holidays, when families often need additional support. Your work will help ensure continuity of care and reduce isolation during these times.
You’ll also:
- Assess family needs and provide tailored support
- Match and support volunteers working with families
- Plan and deliver stay-and-play sessions, workshops, and activities
- Build strong relationships with local partners, schools, and services
- Promote our work in the community and support outreach efforts
Around 70% of your time will be spent out in the community, including home visits and delivering groups.
About you
We’re looking for someone who is:
- Experienced in working with children and families (e.g. schools, nurseries, family services or similar)
- Confident delivering group activities or workshops
- Warm, approachable, and able to build trust with a wide range of people
- Organised and able to manage a varied workload independently
- A strong communicator with good written and IT skills
Why join us?
At Home-Start, you’ll be part of a supportive team making a genuine difference in families’ lives. We offer:
- A meaningful and rewarding role in the community
- Ongoing training and development opportunities
- A flexible, supportive working environment
- The chance to shape activities and support that truly meet families’ needs
