Quality Safety & Security Manager / Deputy Country Director - Chad

One of these places is Chad, the largest landlocked country in Africa. The Sahara desert in the north, and the vast distances between towns and villages on dirt/sand roads, make it a difficult place to live. The UN Human Development Index currently places Chad almost at the bottom of the list at 189 (out of 193 countries). The adult literacy rate is only 23% (and just 11% among women). Life expectancy here is also one of the world’s worst, at just over 50, and one in ten babies die before they are a year old.

MAF has been serving in Chad for over 50 years through times of famine, drought and civil unrest. Working with many partner organisations, MAF provides an effective air transport service for missionaries, relief organisations and the local Church. The humanitarian and spiritual needs of this country are huge, and MAF seeks to meet these needs by operating two aircraft, a Cessna Grand Caravan and a Cessna 182.In this pivotal role as Quality, Safety and Security Manager/ Deputy Country Director: you’ll champion quality and safety across all operations while supporting the Country Director in delivering MAF Chad’s vision and ministry goals. You’ll lead the Quality and Safety Management Systems (QMS & SMS), provide high-level executive and project support, and help drive the strategic and operational success of the Chad Programme.
