Timeframe: Immediate

The Fellowship of Orthodox Christians United to Serve (FOCUS) North America is seeking a qualified candidate to fill the position of part-time Center Director for its FOCUS Bridgeport ministry location. Anticipated hours are between 20 and 25 hours per week. 

The work of FOCUS Bridgeport occurs at Holy Ghost Orthodox Church and the Beardsley School, and requires the director to be onsite monthly (eventually weekly). Some responsibilities may also be completed remotely. 

The FOCUS Bridgeport Center Director is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the local, vibrant ministry to underprivileged children and families of the Beardsley School community. The ministry will start with monthly hot meals and grow to a more frequent schedule. Additional services may be added in time as we discern the needs of the community. The Center Director is also responsible for volunteer coordination, Advisory Committee management, and partnerships with other local organizations. The Center Director will work with the FOCUS North America Development Team to solicit donations and pursue grants to support and grow the ministry.

The position reports to the Director of Operations.

As an affiliated ministry of the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States of America, qualified candidates should have knowledge of and a willingness to work within the framework of the Orthodox Church. The ideal candidate will also possess the following experience and/or skill sets:

  • Non-profit leadership experience;
  • Experience managing a budget;
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills;
  • A passion for service; 
  • A willingness and ability to solicit funds on behalf of the local ministry;
  • An ability to work directly with those served by the ministry on a daily basis;
  • An ability to work cross jurisdictionally with local Orthodox parishes to engage volunteers to serve at the center (familiarity with and direct knowledge of local Orthodox parishes is a significant plus)

FOCUS has a team of support staff who work with its Center Directors in the above efforts including marketing and social media communications, management of local center financial information, and overall clarity of work and mission.
