Come and be a part of something extraordinary and support the team in delivering the Street Child Sierra Leone Marathon & Cycle Challenge (SLM).

SLM has long since established itself as an incredible event that showcases the work of Street Child, enabling participants to explore the wonderful country of Sierra Leone and make a positive impact all whilst taking on a challenge.

We are seeking someone with an interest in running/cycling/adventure and ideally experience in International Development to come and join our project. Whether you have just finished studying at university or are taking a career break and looking for a challenge, this is your chance to make a unique contribution to an internationally recognised NGO.

To be a great fit for this position you will be a highly self-motivated and pro-active individual, with excellent organisational skills. We are ideally looking for someone with experience in logistics and event coordination, but are open to alternative, relevant experience.  

Key skills:

  • Ability to work quickly and effectively in an unfamiliar environment, forming strong relationships with our local team 
  • Ability to be flexible and work outside your specific duties when needed; have fun and laugh along with a sometimes unpredictable environment! 
  • An interest in marathons and/or endurance events (whether personal or professional) 

Terms:

Successful applicants will be living primarily in the Street Child compound in Makeni, Sierra Leone, with basic conditions. You will be expected to travel independently around Sierra Leone, and will spend time either in Street Child accommodation or local guesthouses. 

Included:

  • Return flights
  • Accommodation (Street Child Compound, Makeni)
  • Phone credit allowance
  • Wi-Fi access
  • Visa
  • Airport Security Tax
  • Airport transfers (Lungi International Airport to Makeni – return)
