Role Overview
We are looking for a proactive and highly organised <strong>Business Support Co-ordinator to join our team at this exciting time, as Safe Families and Home for Good continue to maximise the potential of our recent merger to one charity. This role is key to enabling efficient ways of working and ensuring the smooth running of our regional operations. Working closely with the Head of Business Development and wider team, you will provide vital administrative and operational support. From managing office systems and supporting data collection, to coordinating communications and preparing reports, your work will help ensure our regional delivery is both effective and well evidenced.
A key part of your role will involve supporting the preparation of reports for funders and local authority partners, helping to ensure we meet our contractual commitments. You will gather and present data clearly and accurately, contributing to our ability to demonstrate the impact of our work and maintain strong, ongoing partnerships.
