MAG vacancy: Community Liaison Managers, Africa

MAG supports the development of countries emerging from conflict by finding and destroying the explosive remnants of war, so that communities can raise their families and pursue their livelihoods in a safe and secure environment, free from fear of death or injury.  We are currently working across Africa in Angola, Chad, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mali, Burkina Faso, South Sudan and Somalia.  Due to MAG’s growth, we are anticipating a number of Community Liaison Manager roles to come available in our Africa programmes over the next few months and invite interested individuals to register their details with us to hear about these opportunities.

About the role

As a Community Liaison Manager with MAG you will work with local communities and a wide range of stakeholders. Our community liaison roles are varied, and can involve designing and delivering Risk Education programmes to be implemented in the region by our Community Liaison teams, collecting and analysing data on accidents and MAG’s impact to lower these, conducting non-technical surveys, or building relationships with communities so that MAG’s teams can enter a region to start the process of making it safe. Our Community Liaison Managers are essential to MAG’s life-saving work and this is a great opportunity to be part of that.

About you

You will have experience of leading, motivating and managing national staff, have strong participatory learning and facilitation skills and experience of conducting assessments in order to design and implement appropriate interventions. In addition, you should have experience in designing and delivering formal or informal training, with the ability to organize and coordinate activities or projects. We’d be especially pleased to hear from you if you have previous experience of working in Africa.

You should be aware though, MAG’s areas of operations are often remote with basic amenities, so you will need to be able to live and work in challenging environments, where the need for your skills and MAG’s work is most.
