About HALO
The HALO Trust (HALO) is the world's largest and oldest international humanitarian mine action non-government organisation (NGO). Our mission is to lead the effort to save lives and restore livelihoods for those affected by conflict.

HALO is known for its work to clear landmines but is very much involved in the disposal of other explosive hazards such as bombs, rockets, missiles, and improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

HALO was established in Afghanistan in 1988 and now employs over 12,000 staff in 28 countries and territories.

HALO has a new and exciting opportunity for a Disability and Inclusion Advisor to lead HALO's commitment to be a more inclusive employer as well as to ensuring more disability inclusive programmes that mean we can ensure in working with communities affected by conflict that no one is left behind because of a disability or impairment.

The Disability and Inclusion Advisor will support the country programmes' efforts to ensure diversity and inclusion in both programmes and operations, with a strong focus on disability inclusive programming, as well as more inclusive employment practices.

The role is set within the context of transformational change in the The HALO Trust and has a key role to play in ensuring that principles and practices of inclusion, and equity are embedded in the management of the workforce in a decentralised, regionalised structure.

Core responsibilities of the incumbent include: providing expert advice, conducting studies and outreach, leading working groups, and developing recommendations and evidence-based findings on inclusion and diversity practices in order to provide support to managers and the wider HALO Trust.

HALO needs to improve its disability and inclusion in the following areas:
