Talent Acquisition Manager

Description

This is a brilliant opportunity for a recruitment leader to shape a best-in-class candidate experience and build a strong, values-led talent pipeline that helps bring hope, healing and practical aid to some of the world’s most isolated communities.

About Us
Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) is a Christian organisation that uses light aircraft to deliver practical help, physical healing and spiritual hope to some of the world’s most remote and inaccessible communities.

For 80 years, MAF has been working in partnership with hundreds of other organisations to enable access to medical care, education, livelihood training and long-term support in over 24 low-income countries.

We believe that every community, however remote, should have access to the essentials of life - that’s why MAF’s flights are a lifeline, not a luxury.
