Sharon Callister, Aged Care Plus Chief Executive Officer, has been appointed for 12 months as CEO of The Salvation Army's Humanitarian Mission Services.
Ms Callister officially commences her role on 1 February 2013 and will oversee the humanitarian support services provided by The Salvation Army in Nauru and Manus Island, providing strategic direction and support to all personnel involved with the mission.
“I hope to work with the team to provide the best possible humanitarian care and support to the asylum seekers on Nauru and Manus Island,” said Ms Callister.
“There are already many passionate people on our team wanting to do God's work in this challenging and complex area. I feel an enormous privilege in being called to be part of this important area of ministry.”
Based in Australia, Ms Callister will make regular trips to assist with Humanitarian Mission Services.
Earlier this year, the head of The Salvation Army’s Social Program Department, Major Paul Moulds, was appointed as regional director of offshore processing. He is based on Manus Island. His wife, Major Robbin Moulds, the former head of the Oasis Youth Support Network in Sydney, was appointed as island client services coordinator.
The Salvation Army entered into an agreement with the Federal Government in September to provide humanitarian support services for asylum seekers sent to Nauru and Manus Island.
The Salvation Army is still seeking applications for people who are skilled and available to work with asylum seekers on Nauru and Manus Island. Enquiries and applications can be sent to: offshoremission@aue.salvationarmy.org
