Home-Start Surrey Recruitment

Dad Matters Project Lead

Dad Matters Surrey (a Home-Start Surrey Project) 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.

We are looking to recruit a new Dad Matters Project Lead, who will adopt an ownership mentality to shape and deliver the Dad Matters Project across Surrey. Alongside the steering group, the Project Lead will be responsible for recruiting a team of volunteers (and eventually staff) to expand the project, and will play a key role in awareness, fundraising, and support provision. The right candidate will be able to articulate a strategic plan, identify the steps necessary to make that plan a reality, and action those steps. They will need to be passionate about Men’s Mental Health and exude that passion into the project.

The right candidate will be able to juggle multiple responsibilities around service setup and delivery and forward planning, managing the day-to-day but also seeing the bigger picture. You will be good at working with others, ready to speak up and ask questions, be thoughtful and open to learning.

Home-Start is committed to equality of opportunity and diversity, and welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds and experiences, including those with lived experience of, or insight into, socio-economic disadvantage. We would also like to hear from people who can bring some of the following skills and expertise: Project Launch, Governance, Project Strategy and Management, Men’s Mental Health, Safeguarding and Individual or Group Service Delivery.

We are also committed to safer recruitment practice as an

important part of safeguarding and protecting children and adults

An enhanced disclosure check will be required.
