Staff

NISCU currently works across six areas covering Cumbria, North Lancs and Craven.  Each area has its own Schools Worker, or team of workers, who are highly committed, gifted and love working with children.  They are mostly part-time, work very flexible hours, and can be appointed on a year-round or a term time only contract.  We try to support their work through regular team days and a yearly two day staff retreat.  NISCU has a Genuine Occupational Requirement that all staff are Christians able to subscribe to our Basis of Faith (which follows that of the Evangelical Alliance, of which we are members).  This is a role that requires a very professional outlook to work appropriately in the education environment.  We take Safeguarding very seriously and all staff have to provide three references and undergo an Enhanced DBS check.

In addition we have support staff working out of Central Office.

Church Internships

Some people take up internships with their local church, and as part of that offer voluntary hours to NISCU.  We can support you by offering some training e.g. by attending our regular staff team days, and on the job training with an experienced Schools Worker.  If this is what you are looking for, you need to talk to your local Church first, and then contact your area Schools Worker.  These roles are unpaid by NISCU.
