Job description

Who We Are

We are Zarach, the children’s bed charity, and we’re on a mission to end child bed poverty, giving children the opportunity to engage at school and break the cycle of poverty.

In our nearly seven years as a registered charity, we’ve captured the hearts and attention of many individuals, community groups, businesses, and funders who want to support us on our mission. We’ve also been given an incredible media platform from which we have raised awareness of child bed poverty at local, regional, and national levels. This support and awareness has seen us deliver over 12,000 bed bundles to children to date!

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 join our 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 expand 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 attend our Leeds Warehouse or other locations when required (approximately once per month).

You should have good experience in day-to-day case management, working with external partners, supporting volunteers, and handling administrative activities typical of a dynamic charity environment. You should enjoy the busyness and variety of this work.

Alongside your family support and engagement skills, we’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about our mission, is self-motivated, and values being a part of our team.

Experience working with vulnerable families and managing volunteers in the charity sector is preferred, especially regarding safeguarding and partnership working. However, charity sector experience is not essential if you demonstrate a strong willingness to learn and develop throughout your career.

What We Offer

• Starting salary of £25,625, with progression up to £29,725 per annum (FTE)
• 36 days annual leave, including bank holidays
• Healthcare Cash Plan
• Quarterly Staff Recognition Award
• A positive working environment, described by colleagues as "a wonderful place to work with the mission at the core of all that we do"
