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.

• An opportunity to make life better for vulnerable people

• Work with a small team of enthusiastic volunteers

• 25 days holiday (pro rata)

We’ve been on the frontline of the world’s response to HIV and AIDS for 25 years, working with marginalised people who are denied HIV prevention and treatment simply because of who they are and where they live.Set up in 1993 to work with community groups in the countries most affected by the global AIDS epidemic, we’ve continually adapted our approach, looking for innovative ways to break down the barriers that marginalise people living with, or at risk of acquiring, HIV.

The Role
