OPERATIONS MANAGER
We are seeking an enthusiastic, compassionate person, with good attention to detail and a track record of supporting and motivating staff and a desire to make a difference to the homeless and vulnerably housed.
About The Bridge Homelessness To Hope
We began in 2008 with a mission to help people who are homeless in Leicester by providing them with hot food, drinks and most importantly, companionship and we have evolved from there to the service we provide today.
Our staff team and volunteers derive from many backgrounds and religions, all with one common goal: to help those who are on the street move from despair to hope.
We are an outreach to the homeless and to those who just have nowhere to go and no-one to turn to. Through our Hub we support those who are hardest to reach by seeking to:
· Overcome the barriers to engagement encountered with more traditional service models.
· Be a place where guests (never service users or clients) can feel secure, trustful and not feel judged.
· Run services that are supplied by people who understand their challenges and are empathetic to them.
Our services are designed to support our guests in making long-term, sustainable improvements to their lives.
Our vision is for everyone to have a place they can call home and hope for the future, with an aim to support the most isolated and marginalised people that often have no one else to turn to.
We do this by offering a safe place to support people in crisis, helping people make long-term, sustainable improvements to their lives, and by developing accessible mental health services.
