Job Description

VSO is the world’s leading independent international development organisation that works through volunteers. VSO Nepal has worked in Nepal since 1964 to improve the lives of impoverished people in some of the country’s poorest districts.

VSO Nepal is implementing a UK Government funded International Citizen Service (ICS) programme, which promotes intercultural dialogue, mutual learning and development between young people from the UK and Nepal. It gives 18-25 year olds the chance to spend three months in a community to help make a difference in the lives of disadvantaged people.

We are currently recruiting Action Learners and Team Leaders for the period of November to February.
