Home-Start Newark needs your help!

Are you a parent/grandparent?

Can you spare 2-3 hours a week?

Home-Start Newark is a local charity which recruits and trains volunteers to help families with young children at home. Next year is our 40^th birthday and we’d like to invite you to join us in providing this much needed service to our local community. Our home-visiting volunteers help families to cope with the challenges of parenting and to rediscover some of the joy that family life can bring. We couldn’t ask for a better birthday present! We are recruiting for home-visiting volunteers to offer support in and around Newark, and in Ollerton, Bilsthorpe and Boughton, and for our Family Group which runs in central Newark.

This is a great opportunity for retired people to utilise their valuable life experience to make a real difference in families’ lives. It’s a wonderful way to meet new people and get involved with your local community.

It's also a fantastic opportunity for people looking to develop skills for a career working with children, families or parents, or in other supporting roles.

It's also a wonderful, direct way to support families during this challenging post-pandemic, cost of living crisis time.

Full training is given and ongoing support will be provided. We need to take up 2 references and you will need to complete a DBS Check and a home visit meeting as part of our safe recruitment process.

If you would like to find out more, please get in touch with us at Home-Start Newark. We’d love to hear from you!
