WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Zarach launched in Hartlepool & Stockton-on-Tees less than a year ago,
and continues to grow with a launch in Middlesbrough in the coming
months.
We are looking to recruit a Family Engagement Officer to joinour dedicated team. The successful applicant will have the exciting opportunity to be involved in the shaping and growth of this valuable local service as we grow in the Tees Valley.
As our ideal candidate you will need to be within commuting distance of
the Tees Valley (particularly Middlesbrough, Hartlepool & Stockton), and
be able to travel regularly to meet with the team and to conduct home
visits across the region.
You will also need to be able to attend our Leeds Warehouse, or other areas when required (approx. once per month).
You will be someone who has good experience of the broad range of
day-to-day case management, working with external partners,
volunteer support, and administrative activities that working in a
dynamic charity brings, and someone who enjoys the busyness and
variety of this.
Alongside your family support and engagement-related skills and
experience, we’ll be looking to see that you have a genuine care for our
mission and, as such, are self-motivated to do a great job and be a
values-led member of our team.Ideally, you’ll have experience of working with vulnerable families and managing volunteers in the charity sector, due to some of the specialties that come with this, such as safeguarding and partnership working.
But charity experience is not essential if you can demonstrate an appetite
and track record for continual learning and development across your
working life to date.
TO APPLY
To decide if you’d like to bring your skills and experience to bear in the
pursuit of our mission, please have a look at the job description, our
website and the coverage of us across social media.
To apply, please send us your CV and a covering letter, of no more than three sides of A4 (font size 12). In your covering letter please focus on
why Zarach is the place for you and also on your most directly relevant
experience.
