During his lifetime he received £1,500,000 in money and gifts in kind. At present day prices, this would be over £100m.

The church in Bristol came together in 2016 to offer a night shelter for rough sleepers. Opening on 1st January 2017, and every winter since, over 100 people have benefitted from a bed, good food, the company of volunteers and support to move-on well. During the Coronavirus Pandemic the service was funded to block book a centrally located B&B whilst continuing to rely on an army of volunteers from across the church community. The intention is to open this winter’s shelter on 1st November and run through to 31st March 2023, again in a B&B setting. This is subject to confirmation of funding.
This leadership role is pivotal to the smooth running of the night shelter this winter AND to shaping the service for the future. The job holder will need to show resilience and attention to detail in their management of the shelter with its staff and 150+ volunteers. The planning work for how and where the service will operate following this winter will need to draw quick conclusions with a costed business plan in order to access funding. You will be an excellent operational manager with a vision for the church continuing to serve the city through providing temporary shelter.
Hours: 24 hours per week on average with some weekend and evening work.
