Programme Funding Officer - Health

Salary range: Kes 3,130,666 pa, National contract

Entry Level: Start step

Based: Nairobi, with regular travel within the region

Closing date: 12 noon, Wednesday 28 September 2011

Job reference: PFD/046/JG

We are working with partners across Africa on programmes that are addressing a range of issues, from conflict and governance to food insecurity and HIV. You’ll lead the funding work for all of these sectors with a specific focus on community health and HIV.

This will involve getting a real grassroots understanding of our work, identifying potential donors, preparing funding applications and managing a range of complex technical and financial reporting.

You’ll spend time with programme teams across the region to develop your knowledge of priority areas, which will mean travelling regularly across the region for up to 30 days a year.

It will then be down to you to translate that into successful proposals that improve the funding capacity of our NGO partners and country offices.

We’ll expect you to identify funding opportunities for this region with institutional donors and governments and build the kind of positive relationships that will enable you to leverage those opportunities.

It’s essential that you are fluent in written and spoken English and have experience of preparing reports and proposals for donors such as the EC, ECHO, DFID and the UN.

We’ll expect you to demonstrate a proven success at securing funds as well as experience of narrative and financial reporting. Additionally, we are looking for an individual with a strong health experience / qualifications.

Your background will have given you a real understanding of development issues and chances are you’ll also have a relevant degree and some field experience in high-risk, high-security contexts.

On top of your excellent communication and presentation skills, you’ll be highly numerate and have a real analytical ability. You’ll be the kind of person who has the knowledge, qualities and skills to be a real influence on this area and someone who’s a great addition to any team.

More than half the world lives in poverty. We aim to put a stop to that. So we campaign against the inequalities that keep people poor and we work with local organisations to give people strength to find their own solutions to the problems they face, irrespective of their religion.

If you’re as determined as we are to end poverty and injustice across the world, work with us to make change happen.
