Working here
We are a small organisation. There is no large team behind you, you will do your own administration, and the work is demanding. Programme roles involve travel to partner communities, sometimes in difficult conditions.
We also expect staff to be able to challenge leadership, and we protect people who do. Safeguarding training is mandatory for every role without exception.
