Counsellor and Ministry Positions for a couple
Do you have a desire to use your skills and passion in a specifically Christian setting?
Cross Roads Christian Community Trust has been ministering to people in need since 1993, and has operated a residential addictions/compulsions programme (FreedomLife - Te Nikau), and counselling centre since 1999 in Paraparaumu, on the Kapiti Coast. The addictions programme deals with a variety of addictions and compulsive behaviours (including alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, pornography, co-dependency, etc.). The counselling centre deals with general, as well as addiction issues. There are a variety of other activities based at Te Nikau.
We are looking for a couple, at least one of whom will have general or addiction counselling qualifications and experience.
The counsellor will be able to competently counsel from a Christian perspective, facilitate small groups, have leadership skills, and as Programme Manager/Counsellor, be able to cover for the Director from time to time. Ideally you would have the energy and vision to take the lead of this ministry in due course. Counselling qualifications and experience are essential. Experience in addiction work specifically would be helpful, but not essential, as we take a whole of life approach to recovery, dealing with many background issues (including relationships, grief, abuse, rejection, depression, etc.) The other person will be able to perform a variety of caring, ministry, administration, leadership and support roles, dependent on his/her skills, and available time (e.g. family commitments, etc.). Both will be able to express their active Christian faith in their work.
One position is paid, the other voluntary. This is a live-on situation, with the remuneration package made up of one salary, accommodation, and power.
