We’re looking for a Website Developer who can volunteer remotely (from home) for 3 months. Join the Australian Volunteers Program to contribute to sustainable development across Indonesia. 

 ABOUT THE PARTNER ORGANISATION: 

There are a large number of people with autism in Indonesia; most of them not received services ranging from identification, early intervention, treatment and education, including disseminating information to the public about people with autism. Due to the overall numbers of children identified with special needs, the city of Padang's Education Department has developed Unit Pelaksana Teknis Daerah Layanan Disabilitas dan Pendidikan Inklusif (UPTD LDPI). In general, UPTD LDPI aims to provide adequate infrastructure and implement services for school-age children with autism.

The organisation has identified the need to develop their website and database system as tool to engage and provide outreach information and support to the wider community. It is expected that the website will also contain resources for the wider remote community, to allow access to information regarding home treatment and basic therapy. The organisation has been supported by a previous volunteer to develop the website and database system, however at this time, there are still areas for the organisation to learn to be able to capably operate and manage the website and database. There are limited skills available locally and where these skills do exist, they are expensive and currently beyond the means of the centre.

ABOUT THE POSITION: 

• In this role you will review the website design and provide training to staff in website development and maintenance
• Volunteers will require tertiary qualifications in IT/Computer Science or a related field
• Successful completion of this assignment will allow the organisation to better manage their website and allow them to continue future growth

We actively support and encourage people of all backgrounds and abilities to volunteer internationally and aim to make the program as accessible and inclusive as possible. - Find out more.
