Home-Start is a federated charity consisting of a central national office – Home-Start UK - and over 170 geographically dispersed local Home-Start organisations, all working together under the same identity.

We recognise that being a parent has never been easy. Every Home-Start volunteer is trained to work alongside parents to overcome the challenges they are facing. We work with parents to build on their strengths and give them the support that they tell us they need. We offer no judgement – just compassionate, confidential help and expert support. This peer-to-peer support is key to the difference Home-Start makes and often our volunteers have lived experience of the challenges their families are facing themselves.

About The Role

The People & Recruitment Officer will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day People activities, including being the first point of contact for queries and advice.

The officer will collaborate closely with hiring managers and other members of the People team to develop effective recruitment strategies, foster a positive candidate experience, and contribute to the overall employee lifecycle management.
