It's an initial two-year fixed term contract. Homestart provides support and friendship for families who are struggling to cope with a wide of range of situations such as loneliness, mental ill health, disabilities, multiple children, and increasing poverty and debt, support is provided to help prevent crisis and family breakdown. They recruit, train and support volunteers who are parents from the local community to visit families in their own homes for 2-3 hours per week in order to provide practical help and emotional support to families. This brand-new role has been funded by a foundation who have recognised that Homestart could do more if they had extra money. You will put together a corporate offer to take out to local businesses to gain their support, which might include Charity of the Year, sponsorship, cause-related marketing and employee engagement. Homestart are in a unique positon to be able to offer meaningful voluntary opportunities for corporate organisations looking to fulfil their CSR needs. We're ideally looking for someone with experience of corporate fundraising who can demonstrate a strong partnership track record.
