Come and serve with us in Papua New Guinea

There is something unique about serving in Papua New Guinea.

At the YWAM Medical Ships Port Moresby campus, you'll become part of a diverse community of people who have come from around the world to see lives transformed through faith, practical healthcare, discipleship and training.

Our Port Moresby campus (affectionately known as the The Jetty) is a mission hub. From here, staff support our medical ship, training schools, school dental program, and a range of ministries reaching people across Papua New Guinea.

We believe that missions is not simply something we do - it is a life we live together.

Whether you come for a year or make PNG your long-term home, there is a place for you here!

The YWAM Medical Ships Port Moresby campus is on a waterfront property near Vabukori village, located five kilometres from Port Moresby's city centre. The property was originally built as a Water Sports Complex for the South Pacific Games in 2015, and has been transformed into an outreach hub.

Community is at the heart of life at The Jetty. All staff, students, and short-term volunteers live on the property together, helping to make it a live-learn environment that encourages personal growth and friendship.

Our volunteer staff team is a diverse mix of different nationalities, ages, skills, and backgrounds. Their dedication and passion makes what we do possible, and we are always looking to expand our team!

Staff have a range of opportunities to engage in, including:

• YWAM Dental Trailer visits to schools – logistical support, clinical support, and delivering oral health education
• Elementary and primary school education support – Literacy Assistant Program & Educating for Life Program
• Operations (kitchen, housekeeping, community life)
• Accounts
• Medical Ship outreaches to remote communities
• Communications
• Training administration
• Course leaders and mentors
• Bible engagement
• Property development and construction projects

Most staff will have the opportunity to engage in a range of roles and projects, including a mix of outreach opportunities and mission support roles.

The prerequisite to join staff is the completion of a YWAM Discipleship Training School (DTS).

All of our staff are self-funded, full-time volunteers that invest their time and skills in our work in PNG. Staff will be required to start with a two-year staff internship program. This two-year program includes a range of ministry opportunities and weekly input that's designed to provide character and leadership development.
