Qualifications & Experience:
Job Location: Dept. of Beni; Trinidad, Bolivia
Type: Full Time
Language Requirement: Fluency in English and Spanish (required)

Travel Expectations: The position requires extensive overnight travel (over 50%) by boat. The boat typically goes out on one voyage per month. These voyages last between 10-20 days. During these voyages, the boat crew members live in small cabins on the Ruth Bell medical boat with shared bathrooms.
Living Conditions: The position is based out of the Samaritan’s Purse sub-office in Trinidad, Bolivia. Trinidad is a small city with some modern conveniences, but is fairly isolated. The city of Santa Cruz is the closest major city and is a ten hour bus ride away. There are not many expatriates living in Trinidad. There are currently no other IFS positions based out of the Trinidad office. For this reason, the location requires IFS who are comfortable serving in a fully cross-cultural environment.
