Human Assessment Specialist Fellowship
Please apply on our website: www.lovejusticecareers.com
About Us: Love Justice International (LJI) is a Christian nonprofit driven by a singular mission: to share the love of Jesus Christ by fighting the world’s greatest injustices. We pursue this calling through two primary efforts—our expanding anti-human trafficking work and the care of orphaned and abandoned children.
We are looking for faithful, compassionate, and mission-driven problem-solvers—people who think deeply about how to fight injustice and share Christ’s love in a broken world. This isn’t just a job; it’s a calling. If you’re searching for an easy, comfortable career, there are plenty of other options. But if you’re drawn to work that demands sacrifice, boldness, and faith, we invite you to apply and explore how you can be part of this mission.
Love Justice International has been recognized as a Best Christian Workplace for five consecutive years (2021–2025), most recently achieving the “Flourishing” category—the highest level of organizational health. Learn more about who we are, what sets us apart, and our open positions at lovejustice.ngo/careers.
What We Offer: Opportunities to truly change lives are exceptionally rare—but at LJI, that is exactly the kind of impact you can have. Although we’re a nonprofit, we operate as an “Impact Engineering” organization, focused solely on maximizing real-world outcomes. By combining scientific and business principles with field-led, locally informed insights, we intercept potential trafficking victims for under $112 each, creating a ripple effect that prevents several more individuals from enslavement. This remarkable efficiency underscores the profound, far-reaching impact your work can have on countless lives.
Joining LJI means stepping into an opportunity to deeply impact lives by combating injustice and expressing the transformative love of Christ. At LJI, you'll be part of a connected, purpose-driven team committed to impactful, kingdom-class excellence.
We offer competitive and thoughtful benefits packages tailored to the specific role and location of our staff. Benefit offerings are designed to support wellness, work-life balance, and overall staff care. Details of specific benefits will vary based on location, local standards, and applicable regulations.
Position Type: Full Time; South Africa
Program and Position Overview: Love Justice International (LJI) combats human trafficking through transit monitoring—intercepting potential victims at key transportation hubs, where traffickers and victims are most visible. Because trafficking is already underway at these points, our teams can gather vital information to assist law enforcement in arresting traffickers and disrupting trafficking networks. To date, LJI has intercepted over 100,000 individuals, resulting in more than 2,000 arrests. For more information on our impact, visit our website: lovejustice.ngo.
LJI prioritizes a rigorous, data-driven approach to maximize impact and minimize harm. We use careful data collection and analysis to measure our effectiveness, continually refining and improving our anti-trafficking interventions. Adhering to the principle of "fail fast and often," we test innovative ideas quickly, discard what doesn't work, and scale interventions proven to produce the greatest measurable good per dollar spent. This disciplined, iterative approach helps us remain accountable to our mission, ensuring that every action we take truly benefits those we serve.
LJI's anti-human trafficking strategy and its orphan care work depends greatly on finding the right people in the places we operate. Given this, we’ve made it our mission to specialize in finding the right people. In fact, our core competency is searching out the people, places, and tools to maximize mission impact. To do this, we’ve developed (and have ideas to develop) a number of human assessments using predictive modeling, including:
Mindset, Work Beliefs, and Moral Reasoning assessments used for hiring LJI Staff
Specific assessments for national office staff, teachers, parents, monitors, and fundraisers
Our goal is to form a team that is constantly working to improve our assessments and particularly to make them more predictive. We use assessments within our application and hiring process for LJI and we’d like to apply some of the lessons we’ve learned there (in selecting the right people) to more of our program work. For example, an assessment to help us select the best transit monitors to intercept potential victims of trafficking or an assessment to select the best parents for one of our Family Homes caring for orphaned and abandoned children.
The Human Assessment Specialist will report to the CEO. The position would ideally be based in South Africa, however, it’s also possible for it to be remote.
Key Responsibilities: The primary duty of the Human Assessment Specialist is to carry forward and further develop the methodologies developed by LJI for building these assessments, and use it to continually improve them, including:
With stakeholders, coming up with potential evolutions of the assessments and testing them
Regularly gathering new data from Love Justice staff and other sources, including coming up with unique ways to get data to make these assessments more robust
Collecting and helping to prepare data from these assessments for predictive modeling (to be done by our Data Science team)
Helping to build tools to use these assessments and the predictive models generated by them for hiring and developing staff
Build and maintain a team of financial supporters through regular communication and updates.
Christian Culture: The work at Love Justice International (including the duties listed above) is conducted within a culture that strives to emulate Christ and make Him first and central. As part of our team, we seek staff who embrace the following expressions of what it means to Abide in Christ, our first Global Value:
Our primary identity is in Christ
We believe God is sovereign over injustice
We are made, called, and led By Christ
We commit to connect with Jesus
Prayer should be central to our work
Our conduct is our testimony
We believe that our mission is not only about what we do but how we do it—through faith, prayer, and obedience to Christ.
Qualifications:
Mission & Faith Alignment
Mature Christian faith and agreement with our Global Value to “Abide in Christ”
Knowledge, understanding, and agreement with how the Christian Gospel ministers to “the least of these” (Matthew 25:40) and guides us in our mission
Agreement with our Core Value “Be the Kingdom”(in mission execution and personal conduct)
Acknowledgment of our Statement of Faith
Passion for justice and advocacy on behalf of vulnerable populations.
Experience & Skills
Minimum of a bachelor's degree in a field relevant to position (human assessments, school or industrial psychology, etc.); a master's degree or higher preferred
Significant experience in working with or developing human assessment tools
Critical-thinking and problem-solving skills
Strong work ethic, self-motivation, and willingness to adapt to changing and challenging circumstances
Proficiency with Google Suite and particularly with Google Sheets
Familiarity with working with complex spreadsheets
Application Process: We will continue to invite applications for this position until a new Human Assessment Specialist has been hired. Candidates will submit a letter of interest and CV when they submit their application here. Nominations, inquiries, and questions concerning this search may be directed to [email protected]. Visit the LJI careers page, https://www.lovejustice.ngo/careers, to learn more about our mission, explore FAQs, and see how you can be part of our work.
Please allow us 1-2 weeks to process your application. Thank you for your interest!
