The Coordinator will live in a small community together with six other staff, full and part-time volunteers and short-term visitors on working holidays. Living and working conditions are basic with little divide between work and life, and the emphasis is on a sustainable lifestyle. The post entails general staff duties as well as the coordinator work and will include a variety of working hours including weekends and evenings.

Together with the Project Manager, the Communication & Education (CE) ( before Publicity and Fundraising EPF) coordinator is responsible for developing the public face of Sunseed Desert Technology to volunteers, local schools, potential funders, the media and other organisations.

The CE coordinator works with all other department coordinators to ensure that the information on our website, in our leaflets and on site is accurate and fully up to date.
