JOB VACANCIES WITH US

Travellers Worldwide is a UK organization, established in 1994, and is a Founder Member of the Year Out Group. We work with nearly 300 projects, in mostly developing countries around the world. We offer help and assistance through providing projects with volunteers, funds and support. Travellers Volunteers fill a wide variety of roles including that of teacher, coach, carer, nurse, researcher, builder and conservationist and so on. Volunteers are provided with guidance, instruction and support to enable them to experience, with confidence, what it means to make a valued and lasting contribution to the projects and communities in which they work.

Travellers Worldwide is widely recognized as a leader in providing worthwhile voluntary placements overseas, and adheres to an ethical code of practice that recognizes the importance of our corporate & social responsibilities, the impact on the communities in which we work, and of the need to Travel Responsibly. Through the help and support of our volunteers, Travellers Worldwide makes a much needed and long-lasting difference to the projects and communities in which we work.   

Travellers staff members are dedicated to their work – most are ex Travellers Volunteers and understand what it means to volunteer. Many are also highly experienced travellers in their own right - their advice and expertise is invaluable in arranging and tailoring voluntary placements.

If you would like to help others to undertake valuable voluntary work overseas – or you have an interest in working in the voluntary sector, international development, or charity work - then we would love to hear from you.
