Job Overview
Aid the station director and leadership team with administrative tasks!
Would you like to join us to help broadcast the Word and love of God in West Africa? If you're a self-starter and able to work in a developing-nation setting, maybe God can use you as an administrative assistant to prepare documents, aid with correspondence and communication, help with some financial oversight, and assist with travel arrangements. Situated in French-speaking West Africa, fluency in French and English would be beneficial. We look forward to hearing from you!
Please note: This position is a supported/sponsored missionary role (not a direct hire opportunity), so the approved candidate would need to develop a team of partners to provide financially for their full salary and benefits. We provide training, resources and coaching to help missionaries reach these financial support goals. To learn more about raising support, please see our FAQs.
