Would you like to use your education or experience in Safety Management, Occupational Health and Safety, or Emergency Management to make a lasting impact on the world of missions while developing professionally, personally, and spiritually? We offer well-rounded development, genuine community, and more.

THE ORGANIZATION:

JAARS is a multidisciplinary team of problem-solvers committed to the belief—and the vision—that people’s lives and communities are transformed as they experience God’s Word in their own language.

• We follow Christ’s example of sacrificial servanthood, looking first to the interest of others.
• We strive for excellence – learning and improving together.
• We are not content with the status quo. We question assumptions and seek new approaches while working hand-in-hand with global field partners to identify, design, test, refine, and implement solutions in transportation, technology, media, and training that can be sustained going forward.

THE POSITION:

We’re looking for adults in their early career stage who have completed an accredited post-secondary degree, value global ministry, and are collaborative.

The Safety Coordinator Fellow will work closely with the Director of Safety and Security to ensure that JAARS is a safe and healthy place to serve. He or she will learn about safety best practices for a variety of work environments and assist in implementing and auditing them.

THE LOCATION:

With its mild winters, small town main street, and proximity to both urban centers and outdoor recreation, Waxhaw is the place to be.

WHY SHOULD YOU APPLY?
