Can you help realise Bristol City of Sanctuary’s vision for the city of Bristol, with its organisations, networks and communities, to be a place of welcome and safety for forced migrants?

Are you familiar with the statutory and voluntary sector and able to engage a wide range of groups and individuals in this vision?

Bristol City of Sanctuary (BCoS) has established a respected reputation in Bristol for bringing communities together to create places of safety and welcome for refugees and asylum seekers. As a registered CIO, BCoS is seeking to appoint a Manager to coordinate and develop support in the city for its work.

The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of issues facing people seeking sanctuary, and excellent networking, communication and negotiating skills.

The post will be based near central Bristol, but will entail a considerable amount of outreach work.
