So, basically, the Mission is looking for a person that they would hire as an "Assistant", but whose role profile actually encompasses the duties pertinent to the fulltime operation of at least four different professionals: a translator AND interpreter, an office clerk/secretary, an analsyt/data miner, and a program developer. Come on now. You've got to be better than that. In this same spirit, why don't you hire one person with the functions of a driver, a guard, an on-site PR specialist (since if they drive the person and are around the person all the time, they can as well step in and give interviews, do some ad hoc publicity work), and, in free time, this driving genius could probably water flowers in the office.
And this "Perform any other task as requested by his/her Line Manager". Seriously? Any other task requested. You mean ANY other task? I would think very hard before applying if that kind of wording was ever officially offered on my prospective job responsibilities list.
