What you need
Essential criteria
Youth-program, education or leadership-development experience.
Strong safeguarding, facilitation and volunteer coordination.
Ability to design an ambitious program within realistic capacity.
Desirable, not required
Global health, advocacy or service-learning experience.
Experience coordinating across countries or time zones.
05
How good work will be judged
Success measures
Students can participate safely without excessive workload or fundraising pressure.
Learning outcomes are clear and evidenced beyond attendance.
Mentors have the preparation and support to sustain their role.
Decision rights & escalation
Set day-to-day priorities within the approved role brief and agreed hours.
Recommend changes to scope, timing or method and document the rationale.
Pause your own activity and escalate when safety, consent, quality or capacity is unclear.
Escalate budget commitments, external promises, partner agreements and material changes to HR & Volunteer Manager / Director of Programs & Impact.
Clinical, safeguarding, privacy and public-claim decisions remain with the named qualified approver.
Role boundaries
This is an unpaid volunteer role. It does not create an employment relationship or expectation of future paid work.
Do not represent HIF publicly, sign agreements or commit money unless authority is explicitly documented.
Use only approved systems for personal, partner or program information.
The agreed weekly commitment is a ceiling to manage, not a minimum to exceed silently.
This role does not provide clinical advice, diagnosis, treatment or unsupervised patient contact.
No travel is assumed. Any future travel would require a separate brief, risk review and written approval.
06
Support, learning and wellbeing
Safeguarding adviser and approved youth-program policies.
Curriculum reviewers and administrative templates.
Executive escalation for speaker, partner and resource commitments.
Scope and safety
Volunteers must not work outside their competence. Clinical, safeguarding and community-facing work requires role-specific supervision and escalation pathways.
Checks before you begin
Working with Children Check or local equivalent where required.
Identity and reference checks.
Youth-safe communication, boundaries and reporting induction.
