Logistician assistant (6 months)
ADRA OPS
ADRA Serbia
Borča, Beograd, Serbia
Description
ADRA Serbia is humanitarian organization dedicated to reducing poverty and protection of vulnerable people. By partnering with communities and organizations, we can improve the quality of life of Roma people, homeless, and young people leaving care, through our programs in disaster relief, education, economic empowerment, and protection. Psycho-social support, prevention, and protection from gender-based violence is mainstreamed in the projects. Working alongside our logistician, you’ll see how a humanitarian operation runs from the inside. You’ll help shape a new inventory database, co-create a fact-sheet on our support reaching 2,000+ people, take part in donor outreach, and join the team at humanitarian distributions in the field. A learning-by-doing role with real impact for vulnerable communities in Belgrade.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
We will provide you with appropriate accommodation. You will share the accommodation with other volunteer. You will have your own lockable room. The accommodation will be near our Community Center, near your workspace. The Community Center is 13 km (about 8.08 mi) away from the city center. The public lines to the city center are very frequent, (every 5-15 minutes depending on the public transport line). You will be provided with a monthly allowance of 450 EUR to cover the expenses for food and transport.
Training during the activity
ADRA Serbia provides on-arrival orientation plus ongoing capacity building tailored to the volunteer's interests. Core in-house topics: safeguarding and PSEA, and direct work with vulnerable groups, and capacity building trainings relevant to the humanitarian sector. The volunteer is guided through external e-learning relevant to humanitarian work, notably Cash and Voucher Assistance (CALP) and Psychological First Aid, and connected to the CVA Community of Practice. Self-assessment is encouraged throughout so the training plan is adjusted to maximise impact.
Participant profile
We’re looking for a curious, people-oriented volunteer who wants to learn how humanitarian operations work from the inside. Empathy and a calm presence at distribution sites matter more than a specific diploma. Apply if you have: strong organisational and communication skills; a practical, problem-solving mindset; comfort with digital tools and basic databases; and ideally some background in management, social sciences or humanitarian work (studies in progress welcome). Diverse backgrounds and abilities encouraged.---- This opportunity follows the ESC 2023 eligibility rules. The 12-month cumulative volunteering limit introduced for projects funded from 2024 onwards does not apply here, so candidates with previous ESC or EVS volunteering experience may still be eligible.----
