Role Overview

Working at VSO

VSO is a not-for-profit organisation that promotes volunteering as a powerful and practical way to tackle poverty and inequality. Our purpose is to create lasting change through volunteering.

At VSO, we believe in bringing about change, not by sending aid, but by working with volunteers and partners to empower people in some of the world’s poorest and most fragile regions. We know that people in developing countries have the desire, power, courage and determination to shape their own futures.

Through our Volunteering for Development (VfD) approach, we put the most marginalised people first. Grounded in years of evidence and learning, this approach develops active citizens who drive local community-led change and deliver sustainable development goals long after a project or grant ends.

Role Overview Summary

The Ideal person will train the youth to improve labor market awareness, employability skills and confidence to venture in the blue economy value chains.

Ideal Applicant Summary

The ideal candidate should possess at least a Bachelor’s degree in social science or education or a related field. He/She must have experience in a similar position or experience working with youth led start-ups/small enterprises.

Equal Opportunities: VSO promotes equal opportunities and values a diverse workforce.
