What kind of people does HALO Trust hire?

Question

I am a former Marine Embassy Guard and when I was posted in West Africa I met some people that were affected by land mines, and ever since I have wanted to go back and get into humanitarian mineclearance. so once I got out I became an Unexploded Ordnance Tech thinking that would be the best way to make it over there, (thats what I was told) but it seems like I hit a dead end... and nobody seems to be able to point me in the right direction.

so seriously! any idea's?

Answer 1

From the website below.

"HALO is looking for leaders who will be resourceful, adaptable, resilient, self-motivated and prepared to work in remote and challenging environments, away from e-mail and sometimes any form of social life for extended periods. In addition to the day-to-day management of mineclearance operations the responsibilities include: liaison with Government, the diplomatic community, police, military and other NGOs as well as the less glamorous activities of financial accounting, administration and logistics. Expatriates can be promoted to manage a national programme within two years of joining HALO. Previous leadership experience in the Armed Forces may be to the applicant’s advantage, but it is not a prerequisite – our current employees come from a very wide range of backgrounds."

Good luck, it is great to see someone wanting to make a difference!
