Job description

Overview

The HALO Trust's mission is to protect lives and restore the livelihoods of those affected by conflict. For over 35 years HALO has been saving lives and helping conflict affected countries recover from conflict, by making their land safe. When conflict ends, land is often littered with landmines and other dangerous explosives. Families live in fear and poverty. They are unable to plant crops or graze cattle and day-to-day activities like getting to school and fetching water are fraught with risk. HALO recruits and trains men and women to clear landmines in their own communities, take back control of their own livelihoods and rebuild their communities. HALO is now one of the leading humanitarian mine clearance organisations globally with programmes in 30 countries with 9,000 staff, most of whom are local employees.
