About Oasis:

The Oasis Sanctuary is a nonprofit, life-care facility for captive exotic Psittacines (parrots), although we do accept other captive avian species.  As a sanctuary, we do not sell, breed or offer birds for adoption.  We offer the birds a stable and loving home for the duration of their natural lives. The sanctuary facility is located in rural southeastern Arizona, 26 miles north of the town of Benson.

We are seeking passionate long-term caregivers (working couples and/or individuals) who will be dedicated to providing daily care and a deep devotion to the 800 birds who call The Oasis home. This is not just a “job”, but a lifestyle- living and working at the sanctuary with a small team requires an investment in the parrots. The work is physical, can be emotional and often unglamorous but you will gain a deep satisfaction from caring for these long lived, sentient birds who have generally been exploited by the pet trade.   

Responsibilities:

Our Caregivers must have a genuine interest in parrots and their wellbeing. Our team must be fully committed to the time and hard work it takes to provide our residents a safe, secure and happy life. Caring for hundreds of parrots in our fast paced environment requires structure, time management and team work.  You need to be someone who likes people too, and can be warm and friendly with your team, visitors and volunteers.

• Mechanical or maintenance skills a plus
• Compassion and positivity for the animals and your team a must

• Must have the ability to routinely lift and carry 50 pounds
• Must be physically able to regularly walk, lift, bend, reach, kneel and stand for long periods

Director of Youth Ministry at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, JBER - Locations Worldwide

Description:

There are nearly 300,000 teenagers of active-duty U.S. military parents who are stationed all over the world. These teens move an average of seven times during their school-aged years. The questions of identity and belonging that all teens face grow even more challenging to answer amid starting over and meeting new friends at each location.

This is where you can be the difference in a military teen’s life! By being in their world, walking alongside them, and creating a community where they experience the truth of God’s love and purpose for them, our staff provide a safe space where teens can develop friendships and connections to experience laughter, build hope, and generate resiliency.

-Work well in an environment that sees (due to high military operational tempo) a high degree of turnover among teens, families, chaplains and volunteers.
-Be respectful of and embrace a community that is deeply influenced by a military culture.
In this ministry, you will need to live out the Club Beyond Core Value Statement:

Club Beyond is a Christ-centered community of leaders with an exclusively military focus. Our methods are incarnational, and our perspective is ecumenical. We leverage strategic partnerships for the greatest results. We value professionalism from our staff and excellence in our stewardship.

Qualifications:

Benefits:
