We’re looking for inspirational communicators who will enjoy championing The Leprosy Mission (TLM) at churches and community groups, both in person and on Zoom. Being a relational person, you will be a confident public speaker able to share stories about our work. You’ll help people to fulfill their God-given calling to stand with those in need, increasing financial support for people affected by leprosy.
The role is fully flexible in terms of hours, as we want it to be the best fit for you as you generously give your skills and time. You’ll be given ongoing support, training and resources from your Community Partnerships Manager. You’ll be joining a Christ-centred and supportive volunteer team. We meet regularly online or in-person to provide updates and for fellowship.
Today, one person is diagnosed with leprosy every three minutes. It is a disease of poverty, striking the most vulnerable. The physical effects of the disease are brutal, but the social effects are even worse. Severe stigma means that people can be thrown out of their families and communities. Rejected and isolated, they are left with no opportunities and no hope. This is not how God wants people affected by leprosy to live. Our work aims to restore life in all its fullness.
The Leprosy Mission (TLM) is the world’s largest leprosy-focused organisation, a pioneer in our field, with 152 years’ experience serving people affected by this disease. We work in nine countries across Africa and Asia.
TLM has a zero-tolerance policy towards any abuse, neglect and exploitation of all people. Successful candidates are expected to understand, sign and comply with all organisational policies, including the Safeguarding Code of Conduct and the Safeguarding Policy. Recruitment to all roles within TLM includes criminal record checks and the collection of relevant references. A criminal record will not necessarily bar you from joining us as a volunteer; this will depend on the circumstances of any offences. We are committed to diversity and welcome applications from appropriately qualified people from all sections of the community.
