Contact Centre Agent
--Freetown--
Marie Stopes Sierra Leone (MSSL) was established in 1986 as a leading provider of high-quality reproductive healthcare. We are a social enterprise that blends the values of non-profit public service with the innovation and efficiency of private sector delivery. Every year, we serve thousands of women, men, and young people across Sierra Leone with compassionate, client-cantered care.
We are part of MSI Reproductive Choices, a global partnership operating in 37 countries, united by the belief that everyone should have the freedom to make their own sexual and reproductive choices.
Our work goes beyond healthcare. By supporting the physical, emotional, and reproductive wellbeing of our clients, we also open doors to broader opportunities. When men, women and girls are able to make informed choices about their bodies and futures, they are better able to stay in school, pursue their careers, contribute to their communities, and build healthier families. In this way, reproductive choice becomes a pathway to dignity, autonomy, and the reduction of poverty.
