Make a Real Difference to Local Families
Home-Start Barnet, Brent and Harrow is a dynamic local charity supporting families with young children through challenging times. Our volunteers and staff offer emotional and practical support to help parents build confidence, strengthen relationships and give their children the best start in life.
We’re looking for a Family Engagement Coordinator to join our School Readiness project in Grahame Park, Barnet. You’ll be part of a friendly team at Home-Start Barnet, working closely with colleagues and partners at Barnet Mencap to support families who are just starting their journey with the education system.
In this role, you’ll help us reach families who may be facing extra challenges or need more personalised support. You’ll spend time building strong, trusting relationships with local primary schools and become a familiar, welcoming presence within their school communities. Your work will help ensure that parents feel informed, supported and ready to help their children thrive as they start school.
The common thread throughout the project is the engagement of families and the parent volunteers, who widen the supportive “community” around the families, and connect the school to the home, and the partners to each other. Approximately 70% of this role will be based in local schools in Grahame Park.
As our Family Engagement Coordinator, you will:
- Build strong relationships with primary schools in Grahame Park, in Barnet.
- Promote Home-Start’s services through school and community events.
- Support communication between schools, families and partner agencies.
- Share updates through newsletters, WhatsApp, email and community channels.
- Signpost families to local services and activities that support wellbeing.
- Receive referrals and assess family needs.
- Deliver school-readiness workshops and parenting groups.
- Liaise with schools, health and community services
About You
We’re looking for someone compassionate, proactive and highly organised, with a genuine passion for supporting families.
You will have:
- Experience working or volunteering in schools, nurseries, family support or similar settings.
- Parenting experience or experience caring for young children.
- Understanding of early years development and primary school systems.
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
- Knowledge of safeguarding responsibilities.
- The ability to engage with families facing complex challenges.
- Experience of delivering workshops or groups.
- Understanding of neurodiversity and SEND support.
- Knowledge of legislation relating to children and families.
What We Offer
