Hours: 37 hours per week

Contract: Permanent, Full time


Rotherham is one of 75 Local Authorities working to deliver the Family Hubs and Start for Life Programme, establishing a network to make effective, integrated family help more easily accessible for families. Family Hubs in Rotherham will be developed where possible using existing premises, already occupied by services. Co-delivery, co-location and a digital offer are central to the programme to enable highly transformative ways of working and the funding will be used to drive this transformation, rather than securing additional front-line capacity that is unsustainable long term. A key objective is to improve access to ‘whole family’ service delivery, including Start for Life services in areas with the highest levels of deprivation.


As Volunteer Co-ordinator for Family Hubs VCSE, you will be responsible for developing a range of Volunteer/peer support initiatives specific to expectations in the programme expectations guide (Implementation, Start for Life, Infant Feeding, Parent Infant Mental Health, Parent Panels (including carers/guardians), parenting support).


You will support the development and delivery of Parent/Carer Panels, which focus on conception to children aged 2, helping to shape early years services in family hub models in each locality. You will be responsible for building access to peer-support and targeted community-outreach activities to compliment targeted, evidence-based parenting programmes for new and expectant parents/carers.


As well as working with the VCS and its members to deliver, you will be responsible for working in partnership with key public sector stakeholders and other VCS infrastructure bodies to ensure quality and good practice.


As well as experience of working in a similar role within the voluntary and community or public sector, you should have experience of developing volunteering initiatives and partnership working - including working in partnership with families to ensure their voice and influence. An up-to-date knowledge of policy developments in services related to the Start For Life is essential, as is the ability to implement projects successfully, as well as represent the VCS strategically.


The role will require attendance at meetings outside of normal working hours, therefore, the successful candidate must be willing to work flexible hours when required to meet work demands.


For an informal chat about the post, please contact David Plumtree, Director of Services (Infrastructure), on 01709 726894 / email [email protected] or Andrea Cox, Senior Manager (HR) on 01709 726897 / email [email protected]


To apply for this role, please complete a VAR Application Form and send to: [email protected] or by post to: HR, Voluntary Action Rotherham, The Spectrum, Coke Hill, Rotherham, S60 2HX.


Closing date for applications is 4.30pm on Thursday 22nd June 2023.


Interviews for this role are scheduled to take place on 29th/30th June 2023.


We will review applications as they are submitted and may bring candidates forward for an interview (with reasonable notice) at any time. We may also close this vacancy early if sufficient applications have been received.
