HelpAge International values is a team of committed, diverse and competent people, and strives to offer fair and competitive employment conditions, as well as exciting development opportunities.
Would you like to work in an environment where...
you can make a positive difference to the lives of disadvantaged older people: a key, yet undervalued, area of development work.
you can grow and learn in different areas, including programmes, advocacy, resource development or support functions, where every person is encouraged to take on wide responsibilities and to share their knowledge across departments and countries.
your contribution and initiative are valued within a medium-sized, flexible and friendly organisation, with scope to develop your potential.
you can liaise with colleagues in any of our 14 international offices and build long-term relationships with partner organisations across the world.
you are encouraged to perform to ambitious standards, but also to maintain the right work-life balance, through flexible working and employee-friendly policies.
HelpAge International is a member of People In Aid, a network of humanitarian and development organisations that promote good practice in the management and support of aid workers.
