We are seeking Expressions of Interest from suitable candidates who are passionate about mission, enthusiastic about Interserve’s distinctives and values, and dedicated to the mobilisation and care of mission workers.

About Interserve:

Interserve is a global community of ordinary Christians taking action in faith. We are involved in bringing tangible love, social change and spiritual transformation to lives and communities. By God’s grace, people encounter the gospel as we share our lives, skills and experience.

We choose to work among the peoples of Asia and the Arab world, both in their home countries and among diaspora in Australia. Although in many places the church is young, persecuted or under-resourced, we intentionally partner with the church – serving together, training, mentoring and encouraging. We walk alongside our brothers and sisters, we make disciples who love their neighbours, irrespective of race, gender or creed. These local Christians become faith and action in their own communities, often with extraordinary impact.

About the role:

The Personnel Manager (PM) is responsible for overseeing the provision of member care (pastoral and general wellbeing) for Interserve personnel mobilised from within their region. A largely relational role, the PM journeys with those interested in mission service from their discernment process, placement and then on through their time as an Interserve team member. The PM will need to become conversant with HR and internal administrative practice. The PM will be a part of the Personnel Team within the National Office.

There are two roles available:

• Personnel Manager NSW (0.5 FTE, open to candidates based in Greater Sydney)
• Personnel Manager QLD (0.4 FTE, open to candidates based in Greater Brisbane)

The FTE covers both Member Care and HR functions. Occasional interstate travel and flexible workday hours will be required.

The PM will have theological and missiological training and experience, leadership and Christian ministry experience, and have lived and worked in a cross-cultural setting internationally. Skills and experience in pastoral care or member care are essential.
