As part of our new strategic plan Home-Start UK is seeking to build on this platform of experience by developing its’ grants and contract income.

To do this Home-Start UK is now seeking a Head of Grants and Contract Income to lead this work. 

Head of Grants and Contract Income
Salary: Circa £45,000 per annum
Hours: 36 hours per week

Home-Start is a federated network of local charities which provide home and community based support for families and children.  Over the past four decades Home-Start has supported over a million children and has become one of the leading family support charities across the UK.

This is a senior role and the successful candidate will need to have demonstrable specialist expertise in this area.  The ability to research, draft and write successful proposals, together with building partnerships with funders, other voluntary organisations and with our local Home-Starts are also key elements of this role.

The successful candidate will have a proven track record of achieving excellent standards of supporter care and compliance with relevant statutory requirements and industry standards.  Up to date knowledge of policy and funding changes is therefore essential.  A further key responsibility of this post is to develop Home-Start UK’s grant monitoring and reporting system and therefore a good understanding of fundraising customer relationship management systems, in particular Raizers Edge, is desirable.

This is an exciting time to be joining Home-Start as we continue to grow and diversify our grant and contract income.  If this sounds like your type of challenge we would be delighted to hear from you.
