Following about 18 months of negotiations we are delighted to be able to announce the transfer of a new property to KWT this week. This property has been gifted to us by another local Trust which is winding up it’s activities after many years of faithfully serving the people of Eastbourne. We are humbled by their generosity to us. The property is a block of 8 flats, all currently occupied, and we have agreed to preserve these tenancies. However, as and when flats become vacant they will form part of our Hope into Action project. We thank God for this generous provision for KWT, and to all those involved in the decision making process.

Kingdom Way Trust is seeking an experienced manager for our men’s supported accommodation, ‘The Bridge’, in Eastbourne, East Sussex. This is a challenging but rewarding role, supporting our residents on their journey from referral to exit, providing opportunities to address barriers to a stable lifestyle, enabling them to discover skills, attitudes and values that will give substance to their hope for a better future.
Due to changes in personal circumstances the current manager of The Bridge will shortly be moving on. We are therefore seeking a new person (or 2 people job sharing) to provide leadership and management for The Bridge.
Kingdom Way Trust is a Christian organisation and The Bridge is run with a Christian ethos. There is a Genuine Occupational Requirement for candidates to agree to our Statement of Beliefs, which is included with the application form.
Salary is negotiable depending on experience. This is a full time position but may be suitable for consideration as a job share. There is a requirement for flexible working hours.
For more information and a job application form click here
Closing date: 8th April 2016.
We’re excited to announce that we’ve started a new project – Hope into Action Eastbourne. You can read all about it here: https://kingdomwaytrust.org/hopeintoaction/
