Winter can be the toughest time for our homeless community, putting lives at risk and increasing a sense of isolation.  Following the success of last years provision, we are opening the Bedford Winter Night Shelter to provide a vital place for our homeless community to find a warm, safe place to stay.

The team of three Coordinators are vital in the success of the Winter Night Shelter. Together, you will lead the incredible teams of volunteers to provide the service.  You will act as Shift Leads for each morning shift and evening shift you are on, and you will set the rhythm and tone for the shift. You will provide a welcome to all volunteers, making sure they are briefed and ready to assist our guests. You will welcome guests and register/triage helping to ensure that risks presented are minimised. You and the volunteer team will serve meals and help guests to access their sleeping arrangements for the night, as well as offer a space for friendship and community.  In addition to the shifts of the Nightshelter, you will be responsible for some practical and administrative tasks to enable the shifts to run smoothly.
