You may have thought that leprosy is an ancient Biblical disease, but today someone is diagnosed with leprosy every two minutes. It is a disease of poverty, striking the most vulnerable. Stigma and discrimination mean many people with leprosy hide their symptoms for as long as possible, living in terrible fear of what will happen to them. But without fast treatment, leprosy can cause blindness and disable hands and feet. Rejection, isolation, hopelessness. We believe that this is not how God wants people to live. Will you join us to help end leprosy?

The Leprosy Mission (TLM) is the world’s largest leprosy-focused organisation, a pioneer in our field, with over 150 years’ experience serving people affected by this disease. We are a leading international development charity, working in nine countries across Africa and Asia. We are Christ-centered, following His leading to defeat leprosy and transform lives.

We are looking for an inspirational communicator to be the face of The Leprosy Mission. You’ll be working from home based in our East of England region with extensive travel across your region. As part of a fun and supportive team, you’ll be changing the lives of people who have been rejected by society.

We’re looking for:

• A relational public speaker, experienced in engaging audiences including churches and community groups

A valid UK driving license is an essential requirement for the role. The successful candidate will be required to undertake a work health questionnaire.

TLM has a zero-tolerance policy towards any abuse, neglect and exploitation of all people.  Successful candidates are expected to understand, sign and comply with all organisational policies, including the Safeguarding Code of Conduct and the Safeguarding Children & Vulnerable Adults Policy. Recruitment to all roles within TLM includes criminal record checks and the collection of relevant references. A criminal record will not necessarily bar you from joining us as an employee; this will depend on the circumstances of any offences. We are committed to diversity and welcome applications from appropriately qualified people from all sections of the community, who have permission to work in the UK.

ROLE PURPOSE:

ShelterBox's Programme Delivery Team is divided into 4 sections - MENA/Asia, East and Southern Africa (ESA), West Africa and Latin American and the Caribbean, and the Philippines. These sections are headed by a Regional Director, who is responsible for the delivery of rapid-on set, protracted and preparedness projects in their regions. ShelterBox's Emergency Team supports the Regional Teams in the delivery of these projects. Each Emergency Coordinator is assigned to a Region but can be deployed to cover an emergency across the world depending on current capacity of the team.

This role will support communities affected by disaster by establishing and managing ShelterBox's humanitarian responses in partnership, delivering impactful outcomes at speed and scale. Fast-paced relationship building, partnership brokering, and project management skills are essential.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

ShelterBox is seeking a delivery-focused, practical, and proactive individual with experience of working in humanitarian emergency settings. This role would suit someone with humanitarian experience, who is looking for shorter emergency deployments balanced by remote management of responses. The right person will have experience of project development and day-to-day management, risk management and meeting and reporting against agreed objectives.
