Vacancy for a Temporary Project Coordinator
at
Home-Start South Leicestershire


16 to 24 hrs per week
6-month contract
Salary: £30,147 per annum (pro rata)



An exciting opportunity has arisen in an extremely highly regarded local family support charity based in Market Harborough in South Leicestershire, for a Temporary Project Coordinator. The charity has been operating in the area for 40 years this year and has a strong track record of helping over 5,700 children under 5 years during this time.

Additional capacity is temporarily required within our Family Know-How Project, which helps families with at least one child under 5 years who are facing disadvantages or difficulties which make the task of bringing up very young children more challenging.

The project helps families experiencing a range of difficulties from ill health, disabilities, financial difficulties and isolation among other issues. We offer families help through one or more of our services which include Family Groups (for parents and their pre-school children), Home-Visiting Volunteers (for one-to-one weekly support at home or in the community), and Courses for parents.

The post holder will work alongside Coordinators of our other Home-Start projects, and with our Assistant Coordinator who provides support to set up and deliver our family group support and creches for our courses.

The charity benefits enormously from the additional time and skills of our large team of Family Support Volunteers. The Temporary Project Coordinator role also involves helping to support and supervise these volunteers, arranging volunteer matches with families for help at home, or volunteer support in our groups and courses.

This opportunity offers the benefits of working within a small, dynamic, flexible team focused on providing the best possible support to vulnerable and disadvantaged families across Harborough District.

We are looking for someone with a proven track-record of creatively supporting families in difficulties, preferably with families with pre-school children, and ideally someone with experience of managing a case-load of families and a good understanding of working with and supporting volunteers. Good planning and prioritising skills, and a collaborative and positive approach to problem solving will also be highly beneficial. Travel across Harborough District’s remote towns and villages will be necessary so access to private transport is essential.

In return we offer flexible working days/hours, with hybrid working arrangements, provision of all necessary IT equipment, and an 8% pension contribution. We are required to carry out a DBS Check (Enhanced Level) for this post due to the work involving direct contact with children and potentially vulnerable adults.

If you’d like an opportunity to be part of a warm and friendly small staff team, and to be centrally involved in the ongoing sustainability and development of an established local charity please access our application documents for further details.
