Fixed Term until the 31st March 2029
Best Start Family Hubs, Devon County Council
We are excited to be strengthening our Best Start Family Hubs programme in Devon, creating two new roles that will help us deliver meaningful, lasting change for children and families. This is an important moment in our journey. We are developing an integrated, responsive and trauma‑informed offer that brings services together around what families say they need, when they need it, and in a way that builds on community strengths.
The Best Start Family Hubs programme is central to our ambition for children to have the healthiest, safest and most secure start in life. We are investing in high quality, accessible support that joins up early help, public health nursing, children’s services, education, maternity, mental health, and the voluntary and community sector. These roles will be part of a dynamic, values‑led team committed to co‑production, community voice and continuous learning.
Project Officer – Best Start Family Hubs
As Project Officer, you will ensure the smooth running of the programme on a day‑to‑day basis. You will gather and organise information, support engagement activity, coordinate meetings and produce high quality documents that help the programme maintain momentum. Your role will be vital in helping colleagues stay connected, prepared and supported. You will enjoy working collaboratively, bringing curiosity, flexibility and a calm, thoughtful approach to a fast‑paced environment.
What Both Roles Offer
In either role, you will join a supportive and passionate team that is committed to Devon’s children and families. You will have the opportunity to contribute to a major transformation programme, helping us build a model of early help and family support that is relational, inclusive and evidence‑informed. You will be part of a culture that values reflection, partnership, transparency and kindness in how we work together.
If you care about improving outcomes for children, enjoy working with partners, and feel energised by shaping meaningful change, we would be delighted to hear from you.
