Job description-

Lattitude Global Volunteering is a youth educational development charity that believes everybody should have the opportunity to experience a volunteer placement.

We help young people from developed and developing countries to volunteer and make sure our placements deliver sustainable value for the children, communities and institutions that volunteers work in. We match every volunteer to a placement that really needs their skills and where they can have the most benefit as part of a larger, ongoing programme.

Lattitude Global Volunteering does not offer 'voluntourism'; the efforts of the volunteers are both needed and appreciated and volunteers do make a lasting difference.

Lasting between 3 and 12 months, the placements are unique, structured and rewarding; they are designed to allow a complete immersion in the culture, encouraging a positive and productive relationship between the volunteer and the host, to the maximum benefit of both.

We support our volunteers throughout the application, selection and matching process, during the placement and after a volunteer returns. We have relationships with Embassies and High Commissions in the countries to which we send volunteers and have dedicated local representatives in each country who work with hosts and volunteers to make sure both get the most from the placement and to resolve any incidents that may occur.
