MAG began its current operations in Somalia in May 2008 to clear conventional weapons and stockpiles in conflict-affected lands of the northern areas of Puntland. Work is centered in the administrative capital of the region, Garowe, where a unit of the local police force receive Explosive Ordnance Disposal training and technical support in conjunction with the Puntland Mine Action Centre. MAG will shortly be deploying roving Community Liaison teams in the region, delivering risk education and collecting data on contamination levels.
As a Community Liaison Manager with MAG you will work within local communities and liaise with a wide range of relevant stakeholders. Your role will be to enhance national capacity building through the design and delivery of training and coaching to national Community Liaison staff. This will involve designing and delivering Mine Risk Education programmes to be implemented in the region by your Community Liaison teams.
Successful candidates will have experience of leading, motivating and managing national staff, have strong participatory learning and facilitation skills and experience of conducting needs or risk assessments in order to design and implement appropriate interventions. In addition, candidates should have experience in designing and delivering formal or informal training, with the ability to organise and coordinate activities or projects.
Areas of operations are often remote with basic amenities, so applicants will need to be able to deal with living and working in challenging environments. MAG takes its responsibility for the security and wellbeing of its staff very seriously. Due to the current situation in Somalia, living arrangements will involve restricted movement and access to recreational activities is limited. As a result of the security conditions, the post holder will be living and working in close proximity to other MAG staff.
