In this paper, we are starting a systematic analysis of a class of symmetric polynomials which, in full generality, has been introduced in [Sa]. The main features of these functions are that they are defined by vanishing conditions and that they are non-homogeneous. They depend on several parameters but we are studying mainly a certain subfamily which is indexed by one parameter r. As a special case, we obtain for r = 1 the factorial Schur functions discovered by Biedenharn and Louck [BL]. Our main result is that for general r these functions are eigenvalues of difference operators, which are difference analogues of the Sekiguchi-Debiard differential operators. Thus the functions under investigation are non-homogeneous variants of Jack polynomials. More precisely, let Λ be the set of partitions of length n, i.e., sequences of integers (λi) with λ1 ≥ . . . ≥ λn ≥ 0. The degree |λ| of a partition λ is the sum of its parts. Choose a vector ̺ ∈ C which has to satisfy a mild condition. Then for every λ ∈ Λ there is (up to a constant) a unique symmetric polynomial Pλ of degree at most d which satisfies the following vanishing condition:
