We’re looking for a Sanctuary Health and Safety Mentor who can  volunteer in a hybrid role both remotely (online) and in-country for a total of  6  months. 


This assignment follows-on from a previous assignment that was cut short due to the COVID pandemic in March 2020. Provision of a high standard of health and safety for both staff and visitors to both sanctuaries is a high priority. The main aim of this volunteer position is to work closely with experts within PAFO and Free the Bears to ensure that processes are developed and adhered to in order to guarantee optimal health and safety during the development and operation of two wildlife sanctuaries in northern Laos.
