Community and social development

Community and social development positions are varied, but all work towards the common goal of improvement. We have placements for community workers in 15 countries in Africa, Asia and the Pacific.

Roles

You’ll be working with marginalised and excluded people to make their lives better. You might be fighting for recognition of needs for mental healthcare, challenging perceptions about people with disabilities or helping people access government services. Whatever you do, your input will help to shape communities for the future and improve  quality of life.
