About Home-Start UK
Home-Start is a federated charity consisting of a central national office – Home-Start UK - and 178 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
Home-Start UK is looking for an experienced Trusts & Foundations Officer to join the Trusts and Philanthropy Home-Start UK team. A highly motivated and results-focused fundraiser, your role will be pivotal in helping raise funds for our work with parents and children across the UK.
Home-Start UK has a wide portfolio of grant funders, who support our work with grants and donations of around £2m each year. This income funds brilliant projects right across the Home-Start movement, from groups for army families, to volunteer perinatal mental health training, to large-scale initiatives to increase volunteer numbers. Our Trusts and Statutory Income team is central to the delivery and development of great support for families, and for ensuring Home-Start UK has the capacity it needs to deliver high quality services and support to our network. No two days here are the same, and we work closely with colleagues right across the organisation.
We are looking for someone who is organised and detail-oriented, with a love of writing and who can build strong relationships with funders and colleagues. As the Trusts & Foundations Officer, you will manage key funder relationships, submit compelling applications, develop end-of-grant reports, and gather inspiring real-life stories from our network of Home-Start charities.
You will be part of the Trusts & Philanthropy team and be managed by our Head of Trusts and Philanthropy, who is keen to support your development in this role.
