VSO is the world\u2019s leading international development charity that works through volunteers to create a fair world for everyone. At VSO we pride ourselves on doing development differently. We fight poverty not by sending aid, but by working through volunteers and partners to create long-lasting change in some of the world\u2019s poorest regions. We bring key stakeholders together to co-ordinate collective action, from local organisations to national governments. Our programmes in Africa and Asia focus on health, education and livelihoods, with an increasing emphasis on resilience, peace building, social accountability, gender and social inclusion. We\u2019re not about delivering quick fixes, but instead we focus on long-lasting, sustainable change that will improve the lives of generations to come.<\/p>\n
Role overview<\/strong> The aim of the Fund will be achieved by supporting robust and innovative youth employment initiatives in these regions. Initiatives will offer youth, especially young women, opportunities for decent work that delivers better prospects for personal development, is productive, and offers a stable income, social protection and safe working conditions. At VSO we believe progress is only possible by working together. Whether you want to join us as an employee, or as a volunteer working in your own country, overseas or online, our selection process includes an assessment based on these core competencies:<\/p>\n \u2022 Ability to be open minded and respectful Equal Opportunities<\/p>\n VSO promotes equal opportunities and values a diverse workforce. As a VSO volunteer, you will be sharing your skills with local communities on a full time basis. VSO will cover your travel, vaccinations, accommodation, and medical insurance costs, along with a local living allowance which will be paid in local currency. This allowance meets reasonable living expenses in country, but will not be enough to send money home. You will also receive some financial support to contribute to your on-going expenses at home.<\/p>\n Accommodation<\/p>\n VSO works with some of the poorest communities in the world which means accommodation varies and will be basic.<\/p>\n Some background about VSO<\/p>\n Much has changed since VSO started 60 years ago. We\u2019ve gone from being a UK charity to a truly global development organisation. In 2016\/2017 alone, we worked with over 7,000 volunteers from all over the world and from all backgrounds to deliver services that had an impact on the lives of almost 2.6 million people in the 24 countries where we work. Our programmes focus on the areas of health, education and livelihoods, with an increasing emphasis on resilience building, social accountability, gender and social inclusion. We believe progress is only possible when we work together and that strong partnerships are crucial to delivering positive change. That\u2019s why we work with over 500 partner organisations, from local and national governments, to businesses, NGOs, funders, charities and community groups. Currently, over 30% of our people are recruited from within the country in which they work, and we continue to grow the share of community and national volunteers involved in our programmes. We also send increasing numbers of volunteers from one developing country to another. However, our vision has remained the same; to build a world without poverty. How to apply<\/strong><\/p>\n Step 1<\/strong> Step 2<\/strong> Step 3<\/strong> You will be shown instructions and example questions prior to the assessments to help you increase your familiarity with them. You will also have access to a short profile report on completion of the assessment. Your application will be reviewed by our Resourcing Team when you have completed these assessments.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Should you require any adjustments to be made to the application process due to a disability or any other circumstances, please email us at\u00a0Recruitment@vsoint.org\u00a0to discuss your requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":907,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","job_listing_type":[81],"job_listing_category":[129],"job_listing_location":[194],"job_listing_tag":[],"metas":{"_job_category":{"129":"Business Management and Administration"},"_job_type":{"81":"Contract"},"_job_apply_type":"external","_job_apply_url":"https:\/\/www.vsointernational.org\/volunteering\/professional\/jobs\/sales-and-marketing-specialist-ethiopia-a0m3z00000ghglhaat?source=linkedindirect","_job_apply_email":"","_job_phone":"","_job_salary_type":"","custom-select-17263742":"","_job_qualification":"","_job_location":{"194":"Addis Ababa"},"_job_application_deadline_date":"04\/10\/2023","custom-text-18129948":"","_job_logo":"https:\/\/www.yes.et\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp-job-board-pro-uploads\/_employer_featured_image\/2023\/03\/1519856165133-1.jpg","_job_employer_name":"VSO\/Volunteer role","_job_employer_url":"https:\/\/www.yes.et\/jobs\/employer\/vso\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yes.et\/jobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing\/13358"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yes.et\/jobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yes.et\/jobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/job_listing"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yes.et\/jobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/907"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yes.et\/jobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13358"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yes.et\/jobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"job_listing_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yes.et\/jobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing_type?post=13358"},{"taxonomy":"job_listing_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yes.et\/jobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing_category?post=13358"},{"taxonomy":"job_listing_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yes.et\/jobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing_location?post=13358"},{"taxonomy":"job_listing_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yes.et\/jobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing_tag?post=13358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
