About CARE Canada employment
CARE Canada employs 75-100 international staff annually to support programs overseas. Contracts vary in length and are dependent on project activity, duration and funding. International staff manage or work on projects, administer field office functions, provide technical advice (in areas such as water/sanitation, small enterprise development, agriculture, health) and support emergency humanitarian assistance programs.
CARE Canada's head office is located in Ottawa. Staff in Ottawa support international programs in financial administration, human resources management, program support and technical assistance, program management and marketing/fundraising.
CARE Canada does not have an overseas volunteer program. However, an international assignment as a volunteer is an excellent way to begin a career in international development or humanitarian assistance. Many CARE employees developed their skills and acquired that critical "first international work experience" as a volunteer or intern.
Information about other organizations offering volunteer placements is available from the Canadian Council for International Cooperation (CCIC).
