From time to time, short term opportunities become available serving with us to support our mission.

Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) is an organisation using light aircraft to deliver help, hope and healing in Jesus’ name in over 30 developing countries. For more than 75 years, MAF has been transporting patients, relief workers, produce and medical supplies to the world’s remotest regions and places of deepest human need – places where flying is not a luxury but a lifeline.

We are now entering into an exciting period of transition and change for MAF International. We have identified this short-term opportunity for a Digital Business Partner to assist in driving the direction of digital technology within the organisation.

In this role, you will develop a collaborative and standardised approach to digital enablement in operations; reflecting our core values of Impact, Witness, Excellence, Partnership, Stewardship and Care.
