About This Role
Leading the Operations teams on board the Africa Mercy, the Operations Director oversees the Finance, Academy, Supply, IT, Transportation, Facility, and Stewards departments on the ship.

Rachel’s role
Primary Care Giver/Hope Center Administrative Assistant.
About This Role
To ensure children’s safety on board, we ask that one parent in the family unit be responsible for caring for the children when they are not in school. Depending on the age(s) of the child(ren), the Primary Care Giver can work part-time in a department on board. Rachel supports the Hope Center Manager with scheduling, day-crew payroll, petty cash, and other day-to-day administrative tasks. Her work finds her both on the ship and at the Hope Center throughout the week.
