Herefordshire Family & Volunteer Co-ordinator

About The Role

We are seeking to recruit a Family & Volunteer Co-ordinator who will co‑coordinate and support our volunteer support services, working with families with specific parenting needs, with children aged 0‑18 years.

The successful candidate will support all aspects of Home-Start Herefordshire’s work with families to ensure no child’s future potential is limited by today’s challenges. This includes:

• Working both directly (providing support to parents directly) and indirectly (working with volunteers and partner organisations) with families and children
• Planning, managing and delivering outcomes‑focused support
• Working alongside the wider team to contribute to the effective day‑to‑day operation and development of our organisation

We are looking for someone with relevant experience (paid or voluntary), who prioritises excellent safeguarding practices and has some knowledge of the roles of agencies providing services for children and families. The successful applicant will be able to demonstrate an understanding of non‑judgemental support and of the values and ethos of the organisation.

We welcome applications from under‑represented groups.

The role is based at our offices at Thorn Business Park, Rotherwas, Hereford but will require travel across the county. A valid driving licence and use of own car is essential (expenses paid).

Home-Start Herefordshire is a voluntary organisation committed to promoting the welfare of families with children 0‑18 years. Home-Start Herefordshire provides regular support and practical help to families under stress, helping to prevent family crisis and breakdown.

Home-Start Herefordshire is committed to equality and diversity and to safer recruitment practice as an important part of safeguarding and protecting children and vulnerable adults.

An enhanced disclosure check will be required.
