VSO
Role Overview
VSO is the world’s leading international development organisation that works
through volunteers to fight poverty. Working in 24 countries around the world,
our unique role in international development is to place committed volunteers
with carefully selected organisations where their skills can have the greatest
impact. As a VSO volunteer you’ll live and work in some of the world’s poorest
communities. By sharing your unique skills and experience you’ll help generate
new ideas and new ways of doing things, helping the communities you work in
lift themselves out of poverty. We’re not about delivering quick fixes, but
instead we focus on long-lasting, sustainable change, that will impact
generations to come. Join us as a VSO volunteer and help us work towards our
vision of a world without poverty.
Role Overview
VSO is currently implementing the Unlocking Talent Project in various
primary schools in Malawi. The projects uses tablet technology to improve
core competencies of reading, writing and mathematics for Standard 1 and
2 (early grade) primary school children. This is an exciting initiative that
will
among other things provide real time data to teachers and school
administrators on learners progress. This therefore provides new and
different opportunities and challenges that educators need to respond to.
Therefore the project is looking for an education advisor who will be able to
train and support the teachers and school administrators to be able to
respond to these challenges and to mainstream this new approach into
their teaching as well as the overall school activities.

Allowance
As a VSO volunteer, you will be sharing your skills with local communities on
a full time basis. VSO will cover your travel, vaccinations, accommodation,
and medical insurance costs, along with a local living allowance which will be
paid in local currency. This allowance meets reasonable living expenses in
country, but will not be enough to send money home. You will also receive some
financial support to contribute to your on-going expenses at home.
Accommodation
VSO works with some of the poorest communities in the world which means
accommodation varies and will be basic.
Some background about VSO
Much has changed since VSO started 60 years ago. We’ve gone from being a UK
charity to a truly global development organisation. In 2016/2017 alone, we
worked with over 7,000 volunteers from all over the world and from all
backgrounds to deliver services that had an impact on the lives of almost 2.6
million people in the 24 countries where we work. Our programmes focus on the
areas of health, education and livelihoods, with an increasing emphasis on
resilience building, social accountability, gender and social inclusion. We
believe progress is only possible when we work together and that strong
partnerships are crucial to delivering positive change. That’s why we work
with over 500 partner organisations, from local and national governments, to
businesses, NGOs, funders, charities and community groups. Currently, over 30%
of our people are recruited from within the country in which they work, and we
continue to grow the share of community and national volunteers involved in
our programmes. We also send increasing numbers of volunteers from one
developing country to another. However, our vision has remained the same; to
build a world without poverty.
Your application and COVID-19
We are continually reviewing our ability to safely programme and implement
projects during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many local restrictions are being
implemented in several VSO locations, which impacts VSO’s existing programme
delivery.
We will continue to follow the advice of the World Health Organisation (WHO)
and national governments to protect the wellbeing and safety of all
communities, employees and volunteers.
We’re continuing to build a talent pool of prospective professional volunteers
so we can get back to supporting communities as soon as we’re able to.
If your application is shortlisted, a VSO hiring manager will be in touch to
discuss the next steps and any changes to your placement and role.

VSO has zero tolerance of abuse and exploitation of vulnerable people. We
expect all our employees/volunteers to ensure we protect children, young
people and vulnerable adults from harm and abide by our safeguarding policy
(PDF).
VSO is the world’s leading development organisation that works through
volunteers to fight poverty. We are unique in the way we bring people together
to share their skills and experience, generate insights and ideas and, most of
all, take action against poverty and exclusion. It’s a highly effective
approach that works, and today is helping millions of people in some of the
world’s poorest communities lift themselves out of poverty.
