Volunteering Job In Tanzania 2020: Jobs Opportunities at Restless Development (Ajira Mpya 2020 Restless Development).
ABOUT RESTLESS DEVELOPMENT
We know young people have the power to solve the challenges we face in our world, but they are being ignored
and overlooked. We are the agency that works with young people so they can lead in solving those challenges.
Whether that means supporting communities to end child marriage or prevent HIV, we work with young people
to change their lives and the lives of people in their communities.
Our programmes are genuinely life-changing, but can’t do any of this without talented, creative individuals at
every level of our organisation.
OUR APPROACH TO SAFEGUARDING
Restless Development considers the welfare and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults to
be an organisational imperative with primacy over the success of programmes or strategic objectives. We
recognise that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and we expect all of our staff, volunteers and partners
to ensure we protect the communities in which we operate from harm and abide by our Safeguarding Policy.

values, whilst helping to ensure that Restless Development’s code of conduct, policies and standards are
understood by all and adhered to in practice. In doing so you will ensure our programme implementation does no
harm to the environment and all stakeholders.
