Development worker vacancies

We recruit skilled professionals to support our partner organisations in Africa and Asia. Placements cover a range of sectors and professions, but commonly demand skills in fundraising and resource mobilisation, marketing, project management, and supporting good governance - often in health programmes.

Sometimes we look for people with very specialist skills. For example, we recently advertised for a fisheries adviser to work with small-scale fishing communities to improve their catches.

If you can't see the right placement for you, please come back again soon because we regularly advertise new vacancies here.
