Senior Programmes Manager - Education

Senior Programmes Manager - Education
 

VSO Rwanda is seeking an experienced and resourceful senior manager to join the programmes team.
 

We’ll look to you to lead our Education programme by managing its strategic development, implementation and successful delivery. 

We will expect you to take a proactive approach to networking and raising the profile of VSO Rwanda as a key player in the field of education. 

This will involve not only developing new relationships with strategic partners, but also supporting our volunteers and employees, as well as taking responsibility for the financial, resource management and legal compliance of the programme.
 

We are seeking qualified candidates who can demonstrate prior experience of managing education programmes successfully, and are able to use excellent leadership, and relationship building skills to implement our education initiatives. 

Your experience of project-management with 3 years minimum practical experience of applying development principles at a project and community level will be key to your success in planning, resourcing and implementing the programme; as will your exposure to funding and donor management.
 

For both roles, as well as a competitive salary, the package includes comprehensive health and pension benefits. 

You will be well supported with accommodation and relocation costs if you are recruited from another country.
 

To apply, please submit your CV and cover letter to recruitment.international@vsoint.org. 

Please quote the job title in 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). CVs sent without the cover letter will not be considered.

VSO strives to be an equal opportunities employer and particularly welcomes female applicants, applications from people with disabilities, HIV positive people, or those who face disadvantage.
 

Due to anticipated interest in this post, only short-listed candidates will receive a response.
 

Closing Date: 26th April 2013
