Then finally organising a debrief and accompanying them at the end of their time with OM.
As the field is small you will also accompany people coming to join the team here in France. This includes organising the administrative details (budget, visas etc) and planning and training during the orientation week at the start of their commitment.
The Field Personnel Officer is the contact for the OM International personnel team and therefore needs to abide by the best practice rules set at an international level and provide reports to the international team at specific points during the year.

– Good people skills
– Capable of managing several tasks at the same time
