About Us

Home-Start Surrey is a growing, dynamic charity that works with families to give children the best possible start in life. We are now seeking a Project Support Officer to play a key role in supporting our work, with a particular focus on our Dad Matters project - an initiative helping dads build confidence, connection, and support in their parenting journey.

Dad Matters Surrey exists to support dads to have the best possible relationship with their families. We do this by providing 1:1 and group peer support, helping Dads make sense of parenthood, and providing or signposting Dads to mental health support and access to relevant services. Working closely with other professionals, we are able to better support dads in the first 1001 days of their parenting journey.

• A confident communicator - both written and verbal.
• Proactive and enthusiastic, with a willingness to take initiative.
• Skilled in using IT, social media platforms, and basic marketing tools.
• Passionate about making a difference for families and children in Surrey.
• Experience in the charity sector or fundraising would be an advantage, but not essential.

What We Offer

• Flexible working hours.
• A supportive, values-driven team culture.
• The chance to make a real, lasting impact on families in your community.
• Gain valuable experience in project support, communications, and fundraising within a respected local charity.
