Sea-Watch is looking for an intern as Air Liaison Officer (ALO)
Office Berlin, July
Office Berlin, July
Sea-Watch e.V. is a young NGO providing civil rescue missions for refugees in distress at sea in the Mediterranean. The situation is getting worse and the work of the volunteers is made more difficult by European authorities as well as by the so called Libyan Coast Guard. At the same time, people die every week at Europe’s borders – we cannot tolerate that. That is why Sea-Watch demands safe and legal entry to the EU in addition to a state conducted rescue at sea.
Do you identify yourself with our goals and visions and would you like to join our diverse team of volunteers, full-time staff and international activists?
The ALO (=Air Liaison Officer) is the center of communication during search flights. That implies the ground contact for the aircraft as well as communication with the involved authorities, political institutions and the project coordination. Besides directly taking part in the missions, the ALO also plays a role in the strategic planning of the Airborne Department on a political level.
Before being released and working independently, the operational key skills will be taught in initial training sessions.
The internship will be based in the Sea-Watch office in Berlin, but can be carried out at home or other places as well, as long as a stable internet and phone connection are guaranteed. Constant support during the internship by the project coordination is provided. The internship is limited to 3 months.
