Maintenance Person needed
Position: Maintenance Person
Country: Ethiopia
Length of placement: 2 years
Start Date: 2010
A rural health centre in Ethiopia has asked Palms Australia to help locate a tradesperson with broad maintenance skills to assist repair and maintain its ageing facilities.
The successful applicant will work with local staff at this rural health centre to pass on maintenance skills so that the community is empowered to maintain their own facilities into the future. By passing on skills you will increase the employability of your local colleagues, which will in turn have benefits for their families and broader communities.
The community health centre seeks a volunteer with a broad range of skills including electricity, plumbing, carpentry, plastering and general repairs.
To receive an application and information package, please complete an online enquiry form or call (02) 9518 9551.
