Do you have the skills and experience to help rough sleepers not just get off the street, but start to “Live life in all its fullness”?  We have an established "first point of contact" and supported beds programme ("Sleepsafe") that needs a manager

Have you experience of working with those in crisis?  Can you bring the best out of teams of volunteers?  Have you shown that you can influence people and create partnerships with faith, statutory and other voluntary sector groups?  And above all, can you mix your compassion with expertise to help rough sleepers get off and stay off the street?

A bit about us...

BCARS (Bournemouth Christians Alongside Rough Sleepers) was formed in 2015 in response to the growing numbers of rough sleepers in the town and a desire to work together across the Christian community and with voluntary and statutory partners to “help people get off the street, stay off the street and know the love of Jesus”.  Faithworks is the driving force behind BCARS, leading and facilitating the work on the ground.The BCARS partnership now runs 5 (soon to be 6) projects.

We are developing more projects to help people once they are off the street – our homelessness projects manager is going to focus his time for the next period on that part of the work.  So, we need a manager to run our projects to help people get off the street, namely our Half-time venue and Sleepsafe.  Following the success of Sleepsafe it is now extending beyond the winter months, and potentially across the conurbation.  Its unique person-centred approach is key to our work and we are looking for someone who understands this.

A bit about who we are looking for...

This job needs someone who is comfortable getting their hands dirty at a street level, talking to rough sleepers to understand their situations and making tough risk assessment decisions; but it also requires someone who is comfortable talking to a church about their ministry in this area, AND can engage the Council and statutory service officers.

How to apply...

Fill in the application form attached and send it to the email at the end of the form; for more info, see the JD attached below or go to the BCARS website: looking forward to hearing from you!
