Working at St Jude's

Join one of the largest charities of its kind in Africa

Do you want to use your talents to fight poverty through education?

St Jude’s is committed to supporting the community and employs around 300 Tanzanians and a number of international staff members. As a growing NGO, we are often hiring both academic and non-academic staff.

St Jude’s offers employees a flexible and welcoming community of international and local professionals, opportunities for career progression, morning tea and lunch on weekdays and a number of other benefits.

International applicants should note we do not accept short term volunteers (less than three months) due to our own policies, and the nature of Tanzanian visa requirements. Those who would prefer a short trip are welcome to visit St Jude’s.

As an equal opportunity workplace, St Jude’s strongly encourages female candidates to apply and welcomes applications by people from diverse backgrounds.

Health Check Team 2026

The School of St Jude is a charity-funded international non-governmental organization (iNGO) that provides free, quality education to 1,800 primary and secondary students from the poorest communities in Arusha and surrounding regions.

As our school continues to grow rapidly, we welcome dedicated volunteers to join our team in Arusha, Tanzania. We are currently looking for short-term volunteers to join our Health Check team in February 2026. Successful applicants will be part of a team of international and local health professionals who will conduct health screening of our students and identify those who may have health and wellbeing problems that could hinder their ability to learn and achieve their full potential and provide appropriate advice and support to them, their parents and the school.
