The mission of the HALO Trust is: “To lead the effort to save lives and restore livelihoods for those affected by conflict”. HALO clears landmines, disposes of explosive ordnance including IEDs, and is involved in weapon control.

When you become a Field Officer in HALO, you join a team with a shared commitment to making a difference in some of the most vulnerable communities in the world. HALO offers a full training package for the role of Field Officer, and you do not require previous knowledge of landmine clearance or ordnance disposal.

HALO has six values that all staff are expected to live by:

• Courage
• Discipline
• Integrity
• Respect for Others
• Loyalty
• Selfless Commitment

If you want to join HALO you must confirm you can meet these values.
