Overnight Building Host

Bridgetown Church • Portland, OR

12d • Onsite

About The Position

The Overnight Building Host provides a welcoming, attentive presence in the church building during overnight hours while the 24-hour prayer room is open. Hosts are stationed where they can view the parking lot and entrance and observe who arrives and leaves. This is an observe-and-report role, not a security position; hosts are not expected to confront anyone or intervene in situations themselves.

The position includes monitoring the entrance and parking lot, following written guidelines when reporting unusual activity or safety concerns, helping ensure doors remain secured, noting building problems, and maintaining a brief shift log for the designated staff contact. The role also requires the ability to meet the listed mobility, communication, and lifting demands.

• Align with Bridgetown’s theological beliefs as described at bridgetown.church/belief.
• Agree with Bridgetown Church’s leadership structure as described at bridgetown.church/about.
• Adhere to Bridgetown Staff Values: empowerment, communication, playfulness, team, spirit-led and orthodox, stewardship, integrity, and prayer.
• Be a self-starter who is well organized and proactive.
• Have enthusiasm and passion to serve Bridgetown, responding to the unique needs of each situation.
• Be able to sit frequently; stand occasionally with opportunities to sit at short, varying intervals; walk level surfaces frequently; and walk stairs occasionally.
• Have frequent hand dexterity for computer and telephone use, as well as writing.
• Be able to read clearly and hear.
• Have a strong command of English and be clearly understood when speaking.
• Regularly lift up to 30 pounds, carry up to 30 pounds, and push up to 50 pounds.

Responsibilities

• Remain at the assigned post for the entire shift and watch the parking lot and entrance.
• Notice scheduled prayer room visitors as they arrive and leave, and keep track of anyone who is not expected.
• Follow provided guidelines and contact the appropriate person, or 911 in an emergency, when suspicious activity or a safety concern is observed.
• Avoid confronting or physically engaging anyone and do not put oneself at risk; observe, report, and stay safe.
• Make sure doors stay secured and report building problems, such as a propped-open door or broken light.
• Keep a short shift log of anything unusual and provide it to the designated staff contact at the end of the shift.
