CORD is a Christian relief and development agency currently operational in Albania, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania, Vietnam and Zambia. We work in both refugee and community development settings and are looking for healthcare professionals, programme managers and people with qualifications and experience in community development, community services, agriculture, finance and administration.

Qualifications and Experience

Previous overseas experience is not always required. Applications are assessed on an individual basis depending on the position. The minimum requirement for nurses is at least one year's post registration experience. Additional experience in tropical diseases, midwifery, health visiting or paediatric nursing would be useful.

Most locations have very basic conditions and there is a strict medical before departure, therefore a reasonable level of fitness is required.

Terms of Contract

Initial appointments are for one year and it is hoped that most people will extend to two years or more. All expenses are covered plus a small monthly salary, part of which is paid in country.

Accommodation is usually in a team set up which might vary in size depending on the location.

All our international and UK staff are committed Christians.

We regret that we are unable to process applications from outside Western Europe as we are unable to fund flights to the UK where all recruitment takes place. All applicants must have free right of entry into the UK.

Additional Qualifications

A full driving licence is helpful but not essential.

Language training is provided depending on the project and the length of contract.

Orientation prior to departure is provided in the UK.
