Volunteer physio project coordinator
The project is currently looking for a volunteer physiotherapist who can help us start the course in Sierra Leone. You will be deployed to Sierra Leone and placed both at Masanga Hospital and in Freetown.
Requirements for deployment
- You have minimum one year of experience as a physiotherapist.
- You have experience with projects abroad in a developing country, preferable in Africa.
- You have strong English skills.
- You want to make a difference.
If this a caught your interest contact Marie Børresen at marieborresen@masanga.dk for more details regarding deployment and the project.
Volunteer physio teacher
Since there are only four physiotherapists in the entire country of Sierra Leone, the project is highly dependent on qualified foreign teachers coming to Masanga. The duration of the deployment period will depend on both the actual course structure and your qualifications.
Masanga Physiotherapy is an entirely volunteer-based project. Covering the living costs of teachers during deployment therefore exclusively depends on donations received. We strive to cover room and board for all deployed teachers.
Requirements for deployment
- You have a minimum of three years’ experience. Preferably you have teaching experience.
- You are prepared to teach by a curriculum and you must prepare your own materials in English.
- You allow Masanga Physiotherapy to use your teaching materials for future purposes.
- You want to teach in a culture different from your own and you are creative in your approach to the students and in your teaching methods.
- You want to make a difference.
- It is an advantage if you have previously taught or travelled in developing countries.
