Duration of job: Approximately 2 years

Remuneration: volunteer allowance and coverage of expenses

Introduction

Kapuna hospital was built in the early 1950’s. Ever since there has been little money to do major renovations. Therefore Kapuna has looked for funding to thoroughly renovate its facilities, including its hospital and ancillary buildings, a floating wharf, a solar system and renewed water management. This project will most likely be funded with Australian money and therefore we need professionals on the ground to help us carry out this large project.

Responsibilities

As a supply chain coordinator you will be responsible for:

  • Organizing availability of materials according to planning
  • Negotiating with suppliers
  • Ordering of all supplies
  • Coordination of logistic arrangements
  • Unloading activities in Kapuna
  • Making sure what is received complies with what was ordered
  • Checking and correcting of invoices

Who we are looking for

We are looking for a volunteer with experience in building projects and knowledge of materials, preferably experience in work preparation and/or supply chain management. In order to live and enjoy life in this remote place, it would be good if you are flexible and able to cope with different living conditions. Other than that we are hoping that you are a committed Christian who is open to have fellowship with our community.

What we can offer

If you want to take this unique opportunity to serve in a remote and very needy place of the world, you will not regret it. Kapuna is a beautiful village in the dense bush of PNG with only waterways and airstrips in the vicinity to make travel arrangements. We will make sure you enjoy your stay and can offer the following:

  • Visa arrangements
  • One return flight to Port Moresby from your home
