About MAG:
MAG (Mines Advisory Group) is an international humanitarian organisation based in Manchester, UK, and working in 32 countries. We remove landmines and unexploded ordnance to release safe and productive land for communities, and work to reduce the threat of armed violence by supporting governments to safely manage weapons and ammunition. In 1997, MAG was a co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for our work campaigning for the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention.
About the role:
We are currently seeking two Regional Programme Support Coordinators to provide support to MAG’s lifesaving programmes around the globe. Reporting to a Regional Programme Support Manager, you will act as the focal point for a challenging portfolio of international programmes in one of our global regions.
