Job Description

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.
