We're looking for someone who will come and live as part of the Buncton Community. They will manage the day to day running and practicalities of the household, as well as some aspects of administration. They will also provide practical, emotional and spiritual support to the guests largely through their consistency, stability and ability to listen.

Who we are

The Buncton Community was started by One Church Brighton. OCB is a Brighton based church, a diverse and inclusive worshipping community, as well as a wider charitable organisation that runs a variety of different projects. We serve a large and brilliant group of people from all walks of life, working hard to try and alleviate poverty, tackle social isolation, provide routes into employment and anything else we can do to make the world a better place.

About the Buncton Community

Based in an old farmhouse in the Sussex countryside, the Buncton Community is a place of respite, restoration, safety and hospitality for people in need. We are a small, intentional community made up of five guests, two live-in hosts and a group of supportive volunteers. Guests are from a variety of backgrounds and may have experience of homelessness, bereavement, life crisis, divorce, recovering from addiction or mental health issues. They are welcomed into a calm, rural environment removed from chaotic situations and peers, and can live here for up to two years. Opening to guests in September 2020, we are still forming and tweaking exactly how the community works most effectively to support these vulnerable people best, but we have been inspired by projects like the Pilsdon Community in Dorset and believe that we can establish a similar one here in Sussex.

About the opportunity

This is not a normal job! It certainly won’t be for everyone, the demands are great, and the days will be long but for the right person, we believe that it can be a very rewarding vocation.

The purpose of the community is to live with others around an agreed and healthy, rhythm of life. The three pillars of this daily rhythm are Hospitality: preparing, cooking and sharing meals together, Work: finding meaningful and therapeutic work, maintaining the house and grounds of the house as well as getting involved with activities further afield, and Prayer: moments of quiet and reflection, being grateful for the day and asking for help where needed. As many of the guests will have addiction issues, Buncton is a dry house with no alcohol or non-prescription drugs allowed and hosts also must adhere to this policy.

This role of Host is fundamentally about living out this healthy rhythm of life, modelling it for others who might be struggling with multiple issues and then inviting those others into this rhythm. This is therefore not your usual workplace, the key ethos of ‘living with’ others rather than ‘doing for’ others can lead to boundaries between being ‘on-duty’ and being off become blurred and messy, this needs to be seriously reflected upon by anyone considering joining us. All that said, as well as two clear days off, there are the other hosts, an engaged and gifted Board, the wonderful, wider staff team of One Church, as well as a mentor who will all contribute to supporting and encouraging you in this role.

What we are looking for

As we are still in the early stages of establishing the community, we’re keen to find another host who can bring some ideas and drive to the how things are done, helping to shape all we do. The project is rooted in the Christian faith, though the guests may not be followers of any particular faith. Whilst the applicant need not be a christian, it is essential that the successful applicant is comfortable joining in and leading short times of prayer and are positive about the founding principles and values of OCB and the Buncton Community.

Benefits 

• Accommodation, food and living costs are covered as part of the role

• An opportunity to make life better for vulnerable people

• Work with a small team of enthusiastic volunteers

• 25 days holiday (pro rata)

• The chance to be part of a fun and energetic team.

• 5% employer pension contributions on total earnings 

In this new role you will be a vital part of the high value fundraising team and you will focus on Trusts & Statutory and lead on the development of high-quality applications. There is a real opportunity to shape and develop the role.

About the role
Implementing a new community fundraising strategy in Aberdeen and the surrounding areas is just one of the challenges we’ll expect you to rise to in this high profile role. Essentially, you’ll be responsible for raising the profile of the organisation and attracting new loyal and regular supporters.

Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.

We’re looking for a proactive individual with community fundraising and volunteer management experience to join us as a Regional Community Fundraiser and help us maximise our local fundraising activities.

A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change — with individuals, in communities, across society – and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

Part of our hugely successful Income Generation division, Shelter’s Community Fundraising team is a new and, currently, small team but with big plans to grow our numbers to have Regional Fundraisers in 12 cities across England and Scotland. Community Fundraising is a key part of Shelter’s long-term fundraising strategy and investment is being made available to fund it. We have recently appointed a new Head of Community Fundraising and are now seeking to expand our team of Regional Fundraisers – it’s a great time to join us.

At Shelter we are committed to tackling systematic inequalities and currently we are looking to increase the diversity within our Fundraising team. We would particularly welcome applications from anyone with a BAME background or considers themselves to have a disability.

About the role
Implementing a new community fundraising strategy in Newcastle and the surrounding areas is just one of the challenges we’ll expect you to rise to in this high profile role. Essentially, you’ll be responsible for raising the profile of the organisation and attracting new loyal and regular supporters. That means shaping and developing your geographical area and local community to establish a tangible relationship with Shelter and its work. It also means providing a high standard of stewardship to add value to current and new Shelter fundraisers and volunteers. Working in the best interests of the charity by contributing to wider fundraising teams' goals whenever possible will be important too. Put simply, you’ll do everything you can to generate more income and attract new long-term supporters.

About you
To succeed, you’ll need a proven relevant background, including working within community fundraising, volunteer management and a demonstrable track record of meeting and exceeding financial targets. We’ll also be looking for experience of reporting using Raisers Edge or a similar database. Customer focused, commercially aware and results-driven, you have a creative and innovative approach and will be able to start and build relationships and to effectively tell the story of why people should support Shelter’s fight to end homelessness and bad housing. What’s more, you’re not afraid to challenge the status quo and try new ideas when appropriate. Proficiency using Microsoft Office applications is also required, as is a full UK driving licence

Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own
