About HALO:
HALO is the leading global NGO addressing the impact and drivers of conflict in 30 countries and territories, with over 8,000 staff. Most of our staff are local employees and include a growing number of women.
Our primary duty is to serve people affected by conflict, clearing landmines and the explosive remnants of war that threaten lives and livelihoods long after fighting has finished. We make land safe where war has ended, while also assisting those affected by active conflict and endemic violence.
HALO addresses human suffering caused by armed violence in some of the world’s most fragile places, securing weapons and ammunition and working with both state and community actors to reduce the prevalence of armed violence.
The Global Fleet and Road Safety function supports HALO's programmes worldwide to manage vehicle fleets safely and efficiently, reducing road traffic risk to staff and communities.
*PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS ROLE REQUIRES THE POST HOLDER TO WORK EXCLUSIVELY FROM HALO'S INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMMES, AND CANNOT BE CONDUCTED REMOTELY*
About the role:
This is a new, full-time, global roaming post within the Global Fleet and Road Safety function, created to move safe driving training from an occasional HQ visit onto a planned, recurring international schedule. Working across HALO's programmes, the postholder will deliver programme capability through Qualified Driver Trainer courses to certify in-country trainers and Advanced Safe Driver Training directly to drivers, embedding a before-use check and fault-identification standard that keeps unsafe vehicles off the road.
The role standardises training content and competency standards globally, supports programmes in embedding Driver and Driving Management SOPs, and gives the Global Head of Fleet and Road Safety a direct, specialist line of sight into training outcomes and RTC risk trends across the organisation.
Responsibilities:
Deliver Qualified Driver Trainer (Train the Trainer) courses that build and certify driver trainers within each programme.
Run a rolling international schedule of Advanced Safe Driver Training courses, prioritising programmes using RTC data and risk assessments.
Train drivers in before-use vehicle checks and a standardised fault-identification approach, so unsafe vehicles stay off the road and developing faults are caught and repaired before they cause a breakdown.
Set and maintain consistent training content, assessment criteria and competency standards across every programme.
Assess driver competency and report on it, flagging training needs at both individual and programme level.
Help programmes develop, review and embed Driver and Driving Management SOPs.
Provide technical training input to RTC investigations where driver competency or a training gap is a contributing factor.
Report regularly to the Global Head of Fleet and Road Safety on training delivered, trainers certified and competency trends.
Coordinate with the Global Fleet Technical Manager where visit schedules…
