YWAM An Cuan Staff Application

Application to Join YWAM Staff in Northern Ireland

Once completed and submitted, it will remain Confidential
WELCOME!

Thank you for your interest in joining our staff with YWAM An Cuan in Rostrevor, Northern Ireland. It is our intention that the application process serve as a valuable tool in helping you, your church and us in YWAM An Cuan prayerfully evaluate whether this is the right step for you at this time. Northern Ireland is a wonderful place to serve in YWAM. There are many opportunities to contribute meaningfully to society – sharing stories and programs of faith, diversity & reconciliation stories in training programs, churches, youth programs and more. We look forward to being in touch with you throughout your application process. This application is intended for those applying to staff at YWAM An Cuan in Rostrevor. To obtain an application for staffing elsewhere in YWAM Ireland, contact the relevant location.

HOW TO COMPLETE THIS APPLICATION

Please answer all of the questions on this application form. Husbands and wives applying as staff must complete separate application forms. Please note the information requested on this form is restricted to details relevant to our consideration of your application at this stage.

REFERENCES

As part of your application process application are three Reference Forms to be sent to the Referees you have selected.

References 1-3: Personal References: One is for your church leader, one for a mature Christian friend, and the third is for your DTS or most recent YWAM leader. Send the reference form link via email directly to your references.

Reference 4: Police reference: The final reference is for an official police-check, which is required for all YWAM workers. While we will provisionally accept people without a Police-check, we cannot make a full acceptance without a police check. You may wait until your application is processed before you begin the Police-Reference process, or, if you wish, you may begin that immediately. A police-check usually takes 2-4 weeks, and some police-jurisdictions may charge a small fee.

If you have been in the UK for over 1 year, we will need to do an AccessNI check for you, which is a criminal record check (similar to a DBS check in England and Wales).

OTHER DOCUMENTS

Medical information (separate form) is evaluated confidentially by a designated and qualified medical officer.

Please also read any other material provided to you.

FINALLY... we pray that God guides you as you fill out this form.

Christian and Life Experience

Please prayerfully answer the following questions. (If you would feel more comfortable speaking to somebody before completing this form, please feel free to contact us.)

Your Personal History
Tell us about your journey of faith - how you met God in a real and personal way; how you have been doing the last 5 years; how God has been leading you in the last year.*
What areas of spiritual growth are you seeing in your life at the moment?*
Are there any current personal struggles you have that you will be bringing to life in YWAM An Cuan that would be important for us as leaders to know about?*
Many companies, churches, and people have developed their own mission statements. For example, YWAM's mission statement is "To Know God and to make Him known." If you had to write your own mission statement for your life in 25 words or less, what would it be? (Try to include very simply what you feel God has called you to do)*
Do you have any long-term dreams or aspirations that you would like to share?*
What is your present involvement with your church/parish/fellowship? *
What is your experience with Christians from other denominations or traditions?*
How would you describe your relationship with your immediate family? *
Why do you believe you are called to missions and to Northern Ireland? Please include your calling to YWAM An Cuan in particular. *
What do you understand to be the vision and mission of YWAM An Cuan (in your own words: Please do not simply quote our statements)? *
On the basis of the previous question, what do you believe you can contribute to the fulfillment of the vision and mission?*
What gifts and strengths do you think you bring to (A) the vision and mission and (B) the life and ministry of YWAM An Cuan? *
Please detail any connections you have with YWAM An Cuan. *
If you know, please give any details of your personality profile (e.g. Myers Briggs, DISC, StrengthsFinder, Enneagram). These profiles give information about whether, for example, you are an introvert or extrovert, intuitive or a concrete thinker, whether you are a "feeler" or a "thinker", and whether you like deadlines and closure, or whether you prefer to leave things open ended. Any information on what makes you who you are would be helpful to us in getting to know you.*
How do you think you would handle the conditions of a community setting? (such as different food, culture, tension and limited personal space) *
What are your hopes and expectations for yourself as you think about joining YWAM An Cuan staff?*
Is there anything else you think we should know about yourself or your family? (e.g. current personal issues, health of yourself and children, children’s educational needs, dependant close relatives.)*

Finances
All YWAM staff raise their own support, and we recommend a minimum support base of £800 a month. This amount should cover rent, food, utilities, accumulated visa expenses, personal money, travel, tithe, etc.

Should you be accepted on staff, someone from YWAM An Cuan will be in touch with you to encourage you in fund-raising. We may require that you read certain material on raising support, such as Funding Your Ministry: Whether You’re Gifted or Not by Scott Morton.
Do you have this level of financial support?*

YesNo
If not, how long do you think it will take you to raise it?
Detail any outstanding debts you have (if none, state "none").
Owed to, and Amount owed:
Owed to, and Amount owed:
How and when do you plan to clear these debts?
PLEASE NOTE: To ensure our staff do not accrue debt while serving with YWAM here, YWAM An Cuan reserves the right to send any staff member home to fundraise should they not be able to pay their basic staff fees, living and personal expenses

Relevant History
Are there any addictions or relevant life-factors that we need to be made aware of? For example: alcohol, sexual, gambling or drug dependencies, financial mismanagement etc. (Please Note: Answering YES to this question will not automatically disqualify you from being considered for a staff position. We are more interested in how you have grown from these experiences and your application will be prayerfully considered.)*

Additional notes on completing the application
VISA NATIONAL SUPPLEMENT/UK IMMIGRATION:
We will advise you on any course of action you should take to obtain a visa only after acceptance. Help or sponsorship will only be given by YWAM to accepted staff who have successfully completed the application process.

CONFIDENTIAL REFERENCES & MEDICAL REFERENCES:
All the references are confidential, so they should arrive separately from the main application.
IMPORTANT: The Medical and Doctor reference must arrive in a separate envelope (or by email to registrar@ywamrostrevor.com) somehow marked that it contains those specific Reports (as only the medical officer on our end is allowed to see it). The first part, the medical report, is completed by you, and the second part is completed by your doctor, who should also receive the first part to mail in with the second.

CRIMINAL HISTORY CHECK & SAFEGUARDING:
YWAM An Cuan requires all of its volunteers, students and staff to provide a satisfactory criminal history check due to our Safeguarding policy. Towards the end of the application process the applicant will be provided with a document suggesting how to do this. You may request a copy of our Safeguarding policy at any time to review.

Thank you for applying to join staff with YWAM An Cuan! You will receive a confirmation email, and we will be in touch in the next two weeks. If you have any further questions, you can reach us by email: registrar@ywamrostrevor.com
