Oxfam GB Humanitarian Programme Coordinator


GBP25,094 - GBP33,938 net per annum plus GBP4,000 net pa allowance Juba, South Sudan
After decades of brutal war, South Sudan is being built, almost from scratch. The country is in desperate need of strong and long term support. Which is precisely what Oxfam is providing. In this hugely important role with a focus on public health, livelihoods and emergency response, you’ll be at the forefront of delivering humanitarian support, management and leadership in Sudan.
The role An experienced manager working closely with in-country teams, affiliates and partners, you’ll develop, coordinate and implement our humanitarian programme across South Sudan. To provide strong direction and effective interventions means staying abreast of the changing humanitarian context and determining how our existing programmes measure up. It also means building on the capabilities of Oxfam and our teams on the ground – teaching, training and passing on expertise in order to drive preparedness. What’s more, by representing Oxfam in humanitarian forums, and strengthening our relationships with media institutions, journalists and other key actors, you’ll raise the profile of the organisation. So your voice will be a considerable one as you drive us forward, bolster humanitarian support and strengthen our capacity to meet the short and long term needs of the country.
What we’re looking for Such a high profile role calls for an inspirational leader with substantial experience in development management and humanitarian programming in a similarly complex environment. The ability to develop effective capacity building initiatives and innovative humanitarian strategies is vital. And because you’ll be dealing with a wide range of donors, Oxfam members and the media, your networking and people management skills must be second to none. The nature of the role means you’ll often have to travel across the region in changeable situations. But no matter the pressure you’re under, you’ll stay patient, professional and sensitive to cultural and gender differences, representing Oxfam to the best of your ability.
About Oxfam A simple, inescapable truth underlines everything we do at Oxfam. There’s enough wealth in this world to go around. It’s not unfortunate that people live in poverty. It’s unjustifiable. It’s not just their problem. It’s ours too. And with the right support, we can beat poverty and injustice. Thousands of people already commit their time and talents to our campaigning, humanitarian and long-term development projects. Now we’re looking for yours.
