Expert Application Advice
What this role involves
As Safety and Security Manager, you will assess risks, develop protocols, and coordinate emergency responses to protect staff and operations in Sierra Leone. Day-to-day, you’ll monitor security trends, train teams on safety procedures, and liaise with local authorities and partners. This role demands proactive planning and calm crisis management in dynamic environments.
Key skills to highlight
Emphasize experience in security risk assessments, incident reporting, and crisis management. Show proficiency in developing security plans and conducting staff safety trainings. Familiarity with Sierra Leone’s security landscape, logistics coordination, and communication tools (e.g., radios, GPS) is a strong plus.
Taf4All CV tip
Add a “Security Operations” section with specific examples: e.g., “Led risk assessments for 3 field sites in Freetown” or “Trained 50+ staff on evacuation drills.” Quantify impact—like reduced incident response times by 20%—to show results.
Before you apply
Verify the employer independently—search for “Development Studies” and ask for a formal job offer letter. Avoid paying any fees for applications or visas. Sierra Leone-based roles should confirm the hiring organization’s registration locally.

- •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
- •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
- •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
- •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
- •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
- •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
