Job Vacancies

Director of Programmes
c£45,000

Tunbridge Wells, Kampala or Nairobi with significant travel.

Are you passionate about programme quality? Do you want to help lead an ambitious, growing INGO?

Working exclusively with young people, Build Africa specialises in education and enterprise with cross cutting work in HIV/AIDS and Gender. Our focus is on building an organisation that from top to bottom facilitates learning, accountability and quality relationships with beneficiaries.

Reporting to the Chief Executive and working closely with the two local Country Directors and boards, you will be accountable for programme quality and for statutory income. As a member of the international management team, you will play a key role in the leadership of Build Africa.

We are looking for someone with several years' senior field experience, perhaps as country director or assistant, with the credibility to provide direction, support and oversight in an advisory rather than line management capacity.
This is not a desk post and you will spend considerable time with communities. You understand the critical success factors in community development and have designed and managed projects that created real impact. You are entrepreneurial, well connected and possess a strong track record in statutory fundraising. You have strong training and writing skills and are able to achieve a lot with little. You are prepared to think outside the development box.

For an information pack and details on how too apply please contact Hilary Owen at Build Africa on 01892 519619 or email hilary@build-africa.org.uk

Closing date for applications: Monday 28th January with final interviews in the UK on Friday 15th February
