• Violence against children is no longer tolerated

We know that great people make a great organization, and that our employees play a crucial role in helping us achieve our ambitions for children.

We need to keep children safe so our selection process reflects our commitment to the protection of children from abuse.

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?

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.

Our experience over the past 5 years is that this work is not just about finding a roof.  We use the analogy of a game of football: the first half (of life) may have been terrible, but we believe that there is always hope for the “second half”: the key is the Half-time team talk, space to get off the pitch and think about a plan for the second half (whether that be work, family, study, home etc.)

So, 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.

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.

See the application information below for the JD and how to find out more - we have 2 sessions on 4 and 13 Feb if you want to come and meet the team: looking forward to hearing from you!
