WHO WE ARE

We are Zarach, the children’s bed charity, and we’re on a mission to end child bed poverty, giving children the opportunity to engage at school and break the cycle of poverty. 

In our nearly seven years as a registered charity, we’ve captured the hearts and attention of many individuals, community groups, businesses and funders who want to support us on our mission. We’ve also been given an incredible media platform from which we have raised awareness of child bed poverty at local, regional and national levels. This support and awareness has seen us deliver over 12,000 bed bundles to children to date!! 

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Zarach launched in Hartlepool & Stockton-on-Tees less than a year ago, and continues to grow with a launch in Middlesbrough in the coming months.  We are looking to recruit a Family Engagement Officer to join our dedicated team. The successful applicant will have the exciting opportunity to be involved in the shaping and growth of this valuable local service as we grow in the Tees Valley.

As our ideal candidate you will need to be within commuting distance of the Tees Valley (particularly Middlesbrough, Hartlepool & Stockton), and be able to travel regularly to meet with the team and to conduct home visits across the region. You will also need to be able to attend our Leeds Warehouse, or other areas when required (approx. once per month).

You will be someone who has good experience of the broad range of day-to-day case management, working with external partners, volunteer support, and administrative activities that working in a dynamic charity brings, and someone who enjoys the busyness and variety of this.

Alongside your family support and engagement-related skills and experience, we’ll be looking to see that you have a genuine care for our mission and, as such, are self-motivated to do a great job and be a values-led member of our team.

Ideally, you’ll have experience of working with vulnerable families and managing volunteers in the charity sector, due to some of the specialties that come with this, such as safeguarding and partnership working. But charity experience is not essential if you can demonstrate an appetite and track record for continual learning and development across your working life to date.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Starting at £25,625 with progression up to £29,725 p/a (FTE)

• 36 days annual leave (including bank holidays) 

• Healthcare Cash Plan

• Quarterly Staff Recognition Award

• A great working environment! One of our colleagues described us as- “Zarach is a wonderful place to work with the mission at the core of all that we do” 

To decide if you’d like to bring your skills and experience to bear in the pursuit of our mission, please have a look at the job description, our website and the coverage of us across social media.
