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.

Occupying a vital position within the Practice Development Team as part of the Network Impact Directorate, the VDO supports a coherent approach to development, quality, and engagement initiatives. The role is crucial in building solid relationships and trust throughout the Home-Start network, ultimately amplifying our impact on a growing number of families.

The Air Cadet Charity, until now, has had to rely on donations with a limited range of activities but Trustees have decided to expand our activities, diversify our income generation and build a capable, respectful and highly successful staff team. Although the Charity had been around in a different guise for many years this is our first year with employed staff and so the successful applicant will need to be capable of starting from scratch, designing secure controls and being fastidious in their record keeping.

It will be primarily working from home with regular contact with the Charity Director and the Trustees responsible for finance.

Specific knowledge of charitable finance controls, policies and procedures would be advantageous as would qualifications in book-keeping, accountancy or other related area. We’re looking for a proactive team player, able to work on their own initiative.

Key Focus areas

• Establishing sound financial controls for this new charity.
