Hi there,
Thank you for your interest in joining us on staff here at YWAM Newcastle and Tahlee. We are a centre known for dynamic community, belief in and development of emerging leaders, persistent pursuit of people and passionate worship. A place filled with life, life, life....whether you're a young person or just young at heart!
Here in Newcastle and Tahlee, our programs provide something for everyone with a heart for God and for people. The staff and trainees are hungry for God in their own lives and are urgent about seeing the emerging generations soak up Jesus.
In addition to our strong focus in Newcastle and around Australia, we regularly send Youth Ministry teams to India, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, Fiji, Indonesia and many other countries.
The first step in joining us is to complete this confidential application which will be forwarded to our Personnel Department. Once all your paperwork is in, a few of the leaders here will pray over your application and let you know whether you have been accepted on staff.
For your first 3 months on staff you will be part of an internship. During this time you will complete the Staff Training Seminar, as well as any DTS Staff Training you might need to do to qualify you to staff a school. You will be allocated to a department of need for part of your weekly schedule to begin with. This gives you an opportunity to experience and serve in a variety of areas on our base and helps you to get a broader perspective and understanding of how we operate.
The ET (Eldership Team) reserve the right to change their decision made on your acceptance until completion of the internship phase. This covers a range of issues that may arise; for example potential staff who haven't done their DTS (Discipleship Training School) with us.
Please note that if you are planning on staffing a DTS, we require you to have completed the Staff Training Seminar, DTS Staff Training, and a Phase 1. Please talk to our training director, Julianne afPetersens, rather then the school leaders, if you are interested in staffing a school.
If you have any questions or need any help at all please don't hesitate to ask us. We look forward to receiving your application.
Dave & Carrie Stephenson
