About The Position

Love Justice International (LJI) is a Christian nonprofit whose mission is to drive the downfall of slavery by disrupting human trafficking in transit. The Anti-Trafficking Field Officer Fellowship supports LJI’s transit-monitoring programs by helping install and monitor compliance with the organization’s core processes across partner offices. These processes cover areas including finance, administration, human resources, data collection, security, potential-victim care, investigations, and legal case support. The role applies the officer’s relevant professional expertise to strengthen partner effectiveness and accountability. The position is based in Ballito, South Africa, and requires regular international travel. It is a salaried, full-time, one-year fellowship for candidates residing in South Africa.

The officer works with LJI core process Leads and Regional Stewards to install processes, often through video calls and email and sometimes through in-person field training. After installation, the officer helps monitor compliance, track progress, and provide follow-up training so national partners understand and meet requirements. The officer also remains available to assist with anti-trafficking pilot projects, with assignments informed by their skills and interests. Over time, officers may develop expertise in particular processes and take on greater responsibility, such as serving as an Implementation Manager or core process Lead. The role also includes building and maintaining a team of financial supporters through regular communication and updates.

The work is conducted within a Christian culture centered on faith, prayer, and obedience to Christ. Staff are expected to embrace LJI’s stated values and approach to serving vulnerable populations. The organization describes its work as impact-focused and offers benefits tailored to the role and location, with details varying according to local standards and applicable regulations.
