WHY WORK HERE

Common reasons why people come to work at LAMB and benefit from the experience are:

• For cross-cultural service to an underserved population in a resource-limited setting LAMB people really care about the poor, and are doing something about it.
• There are some high quality, highly professional staff here, and it is a pleasure to work, and to learn in such an environment
• LAMB provides a diversity of health care – from village households to clinics to tertiary hospital care.
• LAMB is a Christian organization, and this defines our values, yet we work with staff and patients of mixed religions, and in partnership with other secular NGOs
• The rural location of LAMB set amongst rice fields is very attractive
• LAMB has safe drinking water, direct from the tap, and effectively continuous electricity (back-up generator)

For students:

• People are given real responsibility – within their capability, but stretched
• LAMB gives excellent, high-volume, hands-on practical experience
• Mentors can help process and reflect on the experience as a way to consider potential future work in similar settings (or we hope, possibly LAMB!)

For professionals:

• LAMB and its staff are always wanting and needing to learn more, and so experienced support is very much welcomed
• LAMB is very flexible, matching roles with personal capabilities and preferences (as much as possible)
• LAMB school always needs Christians willing and able to teach
• LAMB is always being ‘refreshed and updated’ by the flow of experienced people coming to LAMB from overseas, both short and long term
