Network Director Vacancy

We are looking for AWoN’s next Network Director!

Across Europe — from border regions to busy cities, from small villages to faith communities —
practitioners rise each day to face the realities of migration. They translate, mediate, accompany,
organise, advocate, rebuild trust, counter xenophobia, and help people find safety and belonging.
Their work is often demanding, always relational, and profoundly transformative.

A World of Neighbours exists for them.

We bring together the whole ecology of migration: practitioners, activists, people on the move,
faith-based and secular actors, receiving communities, and those with lived experience of
displacement. We create spaces where they can collaborate, learn, and care for each other. We build
capacity, amplify influence, and cultivate the kind of convivenz — living together — that is needed in
a diverse and humane Europe.

As our network grows across EU countries and neighbouring regions (UK, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Serbia, North Macedonia), we are seeking a Network Director who can guide this next
phase with clarity, imagination and commitment.

It is a one-year freelance position, with a possibility of extension up to three years based on funding.

Please find the full job description below.

If it resonates with you and you feel like you could be a good fit to take this unique network of migration practitioners into its next phase of development, please send your CV and a letter explaining your interest in and qualifications for the job to contact@aworldofneighbours.org by March 9th 2026 alongside any accompanying documents, links or resources that can support your application.

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to join AWoN Strategy and Visibility event held in Brussels on April 9th to 11th.

The new Network Director will be appointed by the summer 2026.
