1 week geleden

Den Haag, Zuid-Holland, Nederland Oxfam Novib Voltijd
Do you want to fight for equality? Tackling inequality at its roots, together with colleagues, our partner organizations and activists in more than 90 countries? To change the systems behind it, once and for all

Oxfam Novib stands behind the people who stand up for equality. Together, we fight for a world where everyone has equal opportunities, regardless of gender, ethnicity or skin color.

A world where everyone feels safe; where income gaps are shrinking instead of growing, where climate change is tackled in a firmer and more honest way.

Equality is the common thread in our work and projects, both internally and externally.

We recognize that our team of colleagues can become even more diverse, and that only with a diverse team can we gain a broad perspective on the world.

Therefore, we want to encourage everyone who hesitates to apply, no matter the reason.

Our aim is to create an environment where everyone not only feels welcome, but where diversity is embraced and celebrated.

Let's strive together to build a team that offers a rich variety of perspectives, enabling us to achieve an inclusive and inspiring work environment.
