Description
Perfect if you don't have overnight responsibilities at home or other jobs, this is a new, immediate, seasonal position for our Winter Shelter (for women), in its 35th winter of overnight sheltering homeless ladies in the name of Jesus Christ. We have usually opened in November, but COVID-19 has made the details complex and we are just opening on January 20th. 2021, through March 31, 2021. Though we usually have one-half of our workers as volunteers, we are changing the model this year to have an additional paid person to come in and cover overnights as the second person staffing the shelter during the week when volunteers have not signed up in advance. Most of this shift can (should) be sleeping but pay hourly pay includes sleeping time. (Lights out is 10:30 pm to 5 am.) Ideal is a female, since some regular Staff are males. Duties are similar to those if you had guests in your home. Candidate MUST be a follower of Christ with a heart to serve the poor, good communication skills in English, and reliable. Shift may change weekly but is likely to mostly be 3-4 weeknights. Job ends April 1. Located near Forest Park in the city.
This winter, we are ONLY sheltering 6 ladies ages 60 and over. Extensive PPE and COVID protection measures and screening, including mask-wearing and plastic tenting for all in the sleeping area, and no more than 10 people present at all times, are in place. Pay is not high but includes the sleeping hours. Most shifts will be weeknights. Please contact Melody Perkins at graceandpeace1@sbcglobal.net or phone 314-367-8959, x 21.
