Add content to top of Homepage

Hello

I have my website set as static Homepage. the “HOME” page is empty and in the setting at the bottom I have my post categories to display in chronological order so every time I upload a post I get the latest one at the top.

My problem is I cannot add text, shortcodes or anything to be displayed at the top of my page, anything I type on my “HOME” page will not display and only my posts display. Even the Visual Composer doesn’t recognise an empty space above my posts to add stuff. Ideally I would like to add shortcode for a slider, some text introduction and then the posts to start
