About The HALO Trust 

HALO is the world’s oldest and largest demining organisation, with 10,000 staff in 30 countries. 98% of HALO’s staff are local employees and include a growing number of women. Wearing the HALO badge is to belong in a team sharing one purpose: serving people affected by conflict, clearing landmines and explosive remnants of war that threaten lives long after fighting has finished. At HALO, we pride ourselves in the life-saving work we do, and have correspondingly high expectations of the staff we employ. 

The HALO Trust in Ethiopia

HALO is registered in Ethiopia since 2021, and is now actively looking to establish mine action operations in the Afar Region. To do so, HALO is looking to recruit a qualified and dynamic Office Manager responsible for the overall administration of HALO's soon-to-be-opened office in Afar.

In the event of an accident, the ICP treats the casualty and ensures proper treatment during evacuation in accordance with the medical standard operating procedures (SOP). This includes administering first aid, stabilizing, and monitoring the casualty during transport to a hospital. Casualties may include those injured in mine accidents, road accidents, or other work-related incidents. 

The ICP is also responsible for the care and maintenance of all the medical equipment, including the MTK (Major Trauma Kit) and the MIK (Minor Injury Kit). The ICP must maintain high standards of hygiene, discipline, and obedience while in the field, setting an example for other team members. They must also adhere to and comply with HALO policies and programme SOPs.
