About Home-Start UK
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 Assistant Director of Network Development and Impact leads our strategic programme of work to enable sustainability, growth, inclusion and impact across the Home-Start federation. With a deep understanding of programme and service development, and a commitment to insight-led decision-making, the postholder will lead a more strategic, data-informed approach to how we grow and strengthen our network’s collective impact.
As a member of our senior leadership team, they will provide inspiring, strong and supportive leadership to teams delivering ongoing activities and planned projects, and to foster cohesion and alignment across Home-Start UK and the Home-Start network. They will work across the organisation and with partners to ensure our programmes of work evolve to meet emerging needs and to deliver meaningful, measurable change over time.
This senior leadership role has oversight of teams who are leading work to:
• Harness the brilliant leadership, expertise and innovation that exists across our network so that we are working collaboratively to grow our reach and impact nationally.
• Enable strong leadership, governance and relationships across the network, so that we can make the most of the strengths and opportunities of our federated model.
• Build a culture of inclusion, strengthen diversity and representation across our teams, ensure accessibility and equity throughout our work, and grow our voice for equity, equality and anti-racism.
• Designing and driving forward major programmes and initiatives to deliver our strategic ambitions for growth, voice, inclusion and impact.
• Deliver evidence-led and policy-informed portfolio of practice development and quality improvement, which is responsive to the needs of local Home-Starts and the children, families and communities they are supporting.
• Support and enable accessible, inclusive, high quality and rewarding volunteering experiences across the network, to grow volunteering numbers as part of wider supporter engagement.
• Establish a high-quality, federation-wide learning and development offer, embedding a culture where individuals and organisations can learn and grow.
• Better understand and demonstrate our impact for children and families, and ensure our programme of network and practice development is informed by evidence, data and insights.
This is a new role leading a growing team, and there will be a strong focus on working collaboratively with colleagues across Home-Start UK and the Home-Start network to develop the programmes and partnerships needed to achieve our vision for children and families.
We are a flexible and family-friendly employer with genuine commitment to building equity, diversity and inclusion. If there are any ways we can make this opportunity more accessible for you to apply or to be successful, please do reach out for a conversation.
