The Red Sea is seeking a permanent Director to lead us into the future. We are also open to filling the position with an interim Director who can provide valuable leadership during this key phase of growth.

Role Includes:

• Further establishing and promoting services which are currently being offered
• Supporting staff in their various roles
• Working with the board on strategic development for the future

Are you looking for a new challenge?

• Perhaps you are coming to the end of a season of working in a cross-cultural context outside your home or in a near culture nation, and you are praying about what the next step might be.
• Perhaps you are wondering how you can use the years of accumulated wisdom and experience to pour into another opportunity that serves the global mission vision.
• Or perhaps you are unsure of what’s next and are open to using your gift-mix in an interim role.

The Red Sea is proactively looking for an individual or couple who could commit to the Director role for a period of between 18 months and 3 years. This is a support-raising position, so the successful candidate will need to come with their own support raised, or with the ability to self-fund while support raising.

Whilst our centre is in Cairns, Australia, there is flexibility around the Director’s location coupled with the desire for the Director to be present in Cairns for 4-6 weeks per quarter.

The Red Sea Counselling and Member Care Centre is seeking applications for the role of Counsellor. The candidate will need to have significant and relevant cross cultural mission experience, tertiary qualifications from a recognised tertiary institution (Bachelor’s degree minimum) in either counselling, psychology, or social work with membership in a relevant professional association (PACFA, Australian Association of Christian Counsellors etc.) and have a minimum of 2 years post-qualification experience in a private clinical setting.

The Organisation

The Red Sea Counselling and Member Care Centre exists to support Christian cross-cultural workers (past and present) through the provision of counselling, member care and training. We desire to see people equipped with the tools and skills to lead resilient lives and to carry out their calling and ministries, fruitfully and joyfully. The centre is located in Cairns, Australia.

The Role

The appointed counsellor will provide quality counselling to current and past Christian cross-cultural workers and be able to work with a broad range of people of different cultural backgrounds. Clients may present with a range of different concerns, including grief and loss, re-entry struggles, burnout, identity issues, anxiety and depression etc. Previous experience of working with clients who have experienced trauma is desirable. Ideally, as an ‘unpaid employee’ (self-funded / supported), the applicant will be a member of, or be willing to become a member of, a recognised Christian Mission sending organisation which has or is willing to have a secondment agreement / MOU with The Red Sea. The applicant will be responsible, with the support of their sending agency, for raising their own financial and prayer support for this role.
