**Your Role**:
The Community Host is a frontline service for engaging directly with parishioners and neighbours attending the St. Margaret’s Sunday Inuit Congregation Community Meal. This weekly meal is an extension of the Inuit congregation’s Sunday worship and hospitality for Inuit community members and neighbours who are looking for fellowship and food.
The services provided by the Community Host will be supervised by the Incumbent Priest of St. Margaret’s Anglican Church, and works as part of a collaborative team of volunteer leaders and parish clergy. The purpose of the Community Host is to support and enhance the leadership and hospitality offered by Inuit parishioners of St. Margaret’s on Sundays with the addition of valuable frontline skills to welcome, inform, engage, and respond if needed to escalating behaviours with appropriate de-escalation skills.
**Your Mission**:
- ensure attendees feel seen and welcomed;
- share meals and conversation with attendees to build rapport;
- be attentive to the interpersonal dynamics of the room and calmly respond to any escalating behaviours that may be threatening to the physical or emotional safety of others;
- calmly engage attendees who arrive under the influence of alcohol and/or other substances to ensure they are safe to themselves and to others;
- exercise good judgment in assessing and responding to emergent crises, including taking the initiative to contact additional support services if needed (i.e. Salvation Army Outreach Services, Minwaashin Lodge Street Team Outreach Mobile, Ottawa Paramedic Service, Ottawa Police Service, etc.);
- report any incidents of harassment, physical threats or violence to the supervisor immediately;
- maintain a weekly logbook and timesheet.
**Your Skills & Qualifications**
- Kind and inclusive leadership skills
- Ability to work collaboratively as a member of a team
- Able to express empathy and compassion when dealing with neighbours’ diverse and challenging situations
- Ability to calmly respond to emerging crises without involving the whole room, specifically with mediation skills and non-violent intervention techniques.

- Good verbal and written communication skills
- Relevant work/life experience in frontline work supporting community members
