About The Position

Love Justice International (LJI) is a Christian nonprofit driven by a singular mission: to share the love of Jesus Christ by fighting the world’s greatest injustices. We pursue this calling through two primary efforts—our expanding anti-human trafficking work and the care of orphaned and abandoned children. We are looking for faithful, compassionate, and mission-driven problem-solvers—people who think deeply about how to fight injustice and share Christ’s love in a broken world. This isn’t just a job; it’s a calling. If you’re searching for an easy, comfortable career, there are plenty of other options. But if you’re drawn to work that demands sacrifice, boldness, and faith, we invite you to apply and explore how you can be part of this mission. Love Justice International has been recognized as a Best Christian Workplace for five consecutive years (2021–2025), most recently achieving the “Flourishing” category—the highest level of organizational health.

Opportunities to truly change lives are exceptionally rare—but at LJI, that is exactly the kind of impact you can have. Although we’re a nonprofit, we operate as an “Impact Engineering” organization, focused solely on maximizing real-world outcomes. By combining scientific and business principles with field-led, locally informed insights, we intercept potential trafficking victims for under $112 each, creating a ripple effect that prevents several more individuals from enslavement. This remarkable efficiency underscores the profound, far-reaching impact your work can have on countless lives. Joining LJI means stepping into an opportunity to deeply impact lives by combating injustice and expressing the transformative love of Christ. At LJI, you'll be part of a connected, purpose-driven team committed to impactful, kingdom-class excellence. We offer competitive and thoughtful benefits packages tailored to the specific role and location of our staff. Benefit offerings are designed to support wellness, work-life balance, and overall staff care. Details of specific benefits will vary based on location, local standards, and applicable regulations.
Love Justice International (LJI) combats human trafficking through transit monitoring—intercepting potential victims at key transportation hubs, where traffickers and victims are most visible. Because trafficking is already underway at these points, our teams can gather vital information to assist law enforcement in arresting traffickers and disrupting trafficking networks. To date, LJI has intercepted over 100,000 individuals, resulting in more than 2,000 arrests. For more information on our impact, visit our website: lovejustice.ngo. To ensure excellence and accountability across our global operations, Love Justice has developed more than 30 core processes. These structured methods help our partners run their programs effectively in critical areas such as financial management, administration, human resources, data collection, security, potential victim care, investigations, and legal case support. While we aim to standardize these processes for consistency, we remain open to adapting them to meet specific local contexts and operational needs. Developing and implementing these processes is central to our core competency of "searching out the people, places, and tools to maximize mission impact.” Our Installation Team ensures these core processes are effectively integrated within partner offices by providing comprehensive training, customized implementation support, and ongoing coaching.

Through these structured follow-up activities, the Installation Team ensures our field operations consistently deliver meaningful, measurable results. The role of an Anti-Trafficking Field Officer is to help install and monitor compliance of these core processes. This position offers candidates the unique opportunity to apply their practical knowledge and skills to make a difference for anti-trafficking work around the world. The core processes for which the Field Officer will be responsible would depend on their area(s) of professional expertise. Relevant fields include business, finance, accounting, legal, data analysis, security, law enforcement/investigations, human resources, and human assessments. The position will be based in Ballito, South Africa, and may require regular travel to our programs worldwide.
