Use your leadership excellence to shape the development of a Bristol-based charity serving homeless and vulnerable clients.
We are seeking an exceptional leader who brings experience of supporting organisational growth and excellence.
InHope helps people in Bristol overcome the insecurities of homelessness, hunger, addiction, and poor mental health. Working in partnership with individuals, churches, community groups and companies our vision is of communities where everybody can reach their God-given potential free from injustice and insecurity.
As the largest city in the South-West, Bristol has always had a challenge with rough sleeping, particularly amongst women. In recent years the need for our services has risen with acutely increasing rents and food prices.
This has led us to a thorough redesign of the way inHope functions. Instead of being organised by venue, since April 2025 we have been organised by the services we offer to clients through all of our venues. These cover provisions, shelter, client pathways and housing. The restructure is enabling us to provide better, more joined up services and for our clients, to not only meet their immediate needs, but to help them reach their God-given potential.
As Chief Executive you will lead our efforts to realise our vision, embedding the new structure, provide leadership to our skilled and proactive staff team of 40 and nearly 400 volunteers, and shape the development of our next five-year plan.
If you enjoy working in a dynamic and passionate organisation and are attracted to the challenge of working with highly committed staff, serving people with complex needs in a faith context, we would love to hear from you.
For more information please see the job pack attached. Closing date 10th November.

Stella Maris is the official maritime charity of the Catholic Church. We are looking for a Regional Port Chaplain for East Anglia to support seafarers, fishers and their families.
In this unique and rewarding role, you'll be the welcoming face of Stella Maris in your region, visiting ships, listening to crew members, and offering practical, pastoral and spiritual support to anyone in need, regardless of faith or background.
About the role
No two days are the same. You might spend the morning visiting ships and listening to crew members' stories, help someone contact their family back home, support a seafarer in crisis, or offer a quiet moment of prayer on deck.
You'll also recruit and support a team of volunteers, work closely with other maritime charities and local partners, and build strong relationships with parishes, dioceses, and port authorities. You'll be part of a nationwide network of Stella Maris chaplains, supported through regular meetings, retreats and professional development opportunities.
Key responsibilities
- Visit ships regularly to meet seafarers and fishers, responding to their pastoral, practical and spiritual needs.
- Provide practical help such as transport, communication access, and emergency or crisis support.
- Offer spiritual care to Catholic seafarers and facilitate the religious needs of those from other faiths.
- Recruit, train and support Stella Maris volunteers.
- Work collaboratively with other maritime charities.
- Maintain strong relationships with local parishes, the Diocese of East Anglia, and port stakeholders such as the Harbour Master, shipping agents and welfare committees.
- Support local fundraising and awareness initiatives alonside the charity's national team.
About you
You'll be someone who takes joy in helping others. You don't need maritime experiences, what matters most is your empathy and ability to offer pastoral support in practical ways.
You may come from a background in chaplaincy, parish ministry, community work or social care. You'll share our commitment to upholding the dignity of every seafarer and fisher.
Registered Charity
21 - 50
We improve the lives of seafarers and fishers through our network of local chaplains and seafarer centres, expert information, advocacy, and support.
