Current vacancies Application form    

Working in development through International Service

International Service recruits on behalf of local organisations – non-governmental organisations (NGOs), municipalities, community groups, grassroots organisations - who have identified a need for specific skills for which they are unable – for whatever reason - to recruit locally.
We recruit worldwide for around 30 vacancies each year, and interviewing takes place throughout the year at our offices in the UK, and where appropriate, in-country.

Who are we looking for?

 

All posts require individuals with professional skills and at least two years’ experience (ideally in a development context); but they’re just the essential starting point. You will also need to be able to demonstrate that you are adaptable and flexible, resilient and tenacious, open to sharing and learning, and above all committed - none of the projects for which we recruit is perfect (if they were, they wouldn’t need you).  

Conditions of service

 
  • 2 years minimum

  • Living allowance in relation to local costs

  • Pre-departure and resettlement grants

  • Accommodation

  • Medical and personal insurance

  • Travel

  • Language training

  • 20 days’ annual holiday

  • Some costs (flights/insurance/ accommodation) for up to two dependants
