The children at our facilities grow up in an environment that is in keeping with their own culture. Positions at particular SOS Children's Villages are therefore exclusively allocated by national SOS Children's Villages Associations, which coordinate the work of all the SOS Children's Villages in their countries. The national associations employ people locally. In this way, we support local labour markets and give opportunities to people in the countries where SOS Children's Villages is present.
For the well-being of our children: No short-term employment
We guarantee long-term commitment and support for children. Our children have suffered greatly and need a long time to trust their new family. If they constantly had different carers, this long process would be harder for them. This is why we do not consider it to be wise to employ people on a short-term basis. This applies to all positions, particularly for employment as an SOS mother.

We are sure you will therefore understand that we cannot offer you an internship or a position abroad. If you would like to support us by working with us in your own country, please contact the SOS Children's Village association in your country. Our colleagues there will be happy to tell you about any employment or internship opportunities.
