St. Andrew's Church is searching for a replacement for its retiring
long-term Breakfast Program director. The program serves breakfast to
anyone who comes through its door, seven days per week, and has done
so for almost 30 years. The program serves on average 125 to 150 persons
each day.
The director, who reports to the rector of St. Andrew's Church, will manage the program, which consists of complex inter-relationships with guests, parish staff, vestry, the Breakfast Board of Directors, volunteers, and donors. The director will have program responsibilities as well.
The director will attend quarterly Breakfast Board meetings to report on the activities and needs of the Breakfast. Additionally, at least three times a year, the director will make a brief report to the congregation of St. Andrew's Church on the work of the Breakfast, during the Sunday morning worship time.
Program Responsibilities:
The director will work closely with the volunteer coordinator to make certain that a staff of trained volunteers is available for every day of the calendar year. Volunteers come from not only the parish, but also from the local schools and universities, from other area churches, and from the community at large. The current practice is:
1. Monday - Thursday the director arrives at 6 a.m. and sets the table for the day; greeting and training new volunteers as they arrive; and welcoming current volunteers, guiding them all in the duties necessary to complete the day's activities and to help prepare for the next day. A lead volunteer is usually established for each of these days.
2. Friday - Saturday - Sunday the director arranges coverage with the lead volunteers who work one or two weekends a month and who arrange their work crews separately from the volunteer coordinator.
The director will work as the program's liaison with other local groups that provide food and support services to the program guests, e.g. Food Gatherers, Ann Arbor First United Methodist Church, HIV/AIDS Resource Center (HARC,) the Project Outreach Resources Team (PORT,) the Visiting Nurses Association, Crop Walk, the City of Ann Arbor, etc.
The director will oversee the ordering and storage of foodstuffs and paper products coming from commercial vendors, Food Gatherers, and others to assure that supplies are adequately stocked. Occasionally the director will supplement tri-weekly orders with purchases from local merchants; e.g. dishes, juice cups, trays, small equipment, etc.
The director will help maintain the cleanliness and order in the kitchen and dining room; maintaining safety and decorum and seeking public safety support as is deemed appropriate. In addition, the director will plan special holiday meals and celebrations and coordinates the annual Christmas mitten/glove gift drive.
The director will perform the above mentioned duties in conjunction with the Parish Administrator, the Finance Administrator and the Sexton; and will be at the breakfast five of the seven days of the week.
The director will conduct a semi-annual fundraising drive, composing a letter to be mailed to previous givers and to the parish of St. Andrew's via its bimonthly newsletter; sending appropriate thank you notes to donors.
Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree and/or the equivalent combination of education and work experience is required. Supervisory experience, first aid and CPR certification and experience working in a social service situation are necessary qualifications. The successful candidate will have a demonstrated commitment to serve those in need. Grant proposal writing and/or fundraising experience are a plus. This position is open to both lay and ordained individuals.
The candidate must submit to a background check and be willing to attend both sessions of the "Safe Church" training.
Start Date:
August 20, 2012
Salary:
$20,000 - $25,000 annually - based on program and fundraising experience.
Benefits:
