An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and energetic press officer to join the media team of one of the UK’s largest international development agencies.

We pride ourselves on being willing to go to the world’s toughest places where others won’t, including remote, hard-to-reach areas and fragile, disaster-affected states across Europe, sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Since 2008 we have helped over 706,000 children to go to school and learn and supported over 82,000 families to set up businesses so they can afford the cost of educating their children. Ukraine is our newest programme, through which we are working with partners in Ukraine, Moldova and Romania to provide humanitarian, psychosocial and educational support to children affected by the war, and their families.
