Change the way we make a difference…
VSO has a new strategy and we’re looking for a country director to help us breathe life into it in Rwanda. This is your chance to play a decisive role in shaping the way our operations in Rwanda look for years to come. Are you ready for the challenge?
The job
Working together with a highly-motivated team, you’ll translate our new strategy into lasting, meaningful improvements in the lives of the country’s poorest people. You’ll work with our strategic partners to shape our goals, create national strategy, raise our profile, network with government agencies, donors and other international agencies, and generally be a walking, talking embodiment of our values and vision. You’ll also support our volunteers, manage our people, take responsibility for financial and resource management and legal compliance.
You
You’re an experienced senior manager and you’ve successfully managed development or humanitarian programmes at a country level before. You have excellent leadership, negotiation and relationship-building skills. And your project-management skills need to be second to none, because you’ll be using them to plan, resource and implement our innovative programmes. Oh, and you’ll need to find the cash to run some of those programmes too, so experience securing external funding and grants is essential.
Us
We are a development organisation that’s been working through volunteers to fight poverty for more than fifty years and we are the leading organisation in the field. We work in almost 50 countries and we’re constantly exploring new ways to use the time, energy and skills of people to make a difference. Even if you know us, it’s worth checking out our website – we might not be the organisation you think we are.
The package
OK, so nobody works for an NGO to make a fortune, but you still deserve to be paid properly. As well as a competitive salary, the package includes comprehensive health and pension benefits. You will be well supported with accommodation, childrens’ education and relocation costs if you are recruited from another country..
Ready to apply?
Please submit a CV and a cover letter to HR at recruitment@vsoint.org. Please quote the job title on the subject line. The cover letter should detail the reasons you believe you are most suitable for the role and outline your current salary, benefits package and your salary expectations. Please include telephone and email contact and details of two referees (one of whom should be your current or most recent employer). VSO is an equal opportunity employer, values inclusion and seeks to have a diverse workforce.
We welcome applicants from all sections of the community. Due to anticipated interest in this post, only short-listed candidates will receive a response.
