Data Entry Officer

The School of St Jude is a charity funded school that provides a quality FREE education to approximately 1600 primary and secondary children from the poorest communities in Arusha. 

We have a unique short term volunteering opportunity available for an individual to join our Business Administration Team based in Arusha, Tanzania at The School of St Jude.

The business administration team is currently in the process of implementing a new Donor Management Database.  The individual will be responsible for transferring a large proportion of the free text field data from the existing database (Microsoft Access) to the new database. This process will be largely manual and the incumbent must be prepared for largely repetitive data entry work. Your reward will be working in a supportive and fun environment, helping the St Jude’s mission and being in a great place to explore all the East African region has to offer.

We envisage this project to take up to 3 months and you will be provided with comfortable accommodation on site. The successful applicant will be required to join the team by July 2013

Key Responsibilities:

• High volume data entry into the new database
• Interpret data to maintain accurate information for sponsors between databases

Requirements and Skills:

• Exceptional attention to detail particular with regards to data entry
• Previous experience in data entry, preferably within an accounts environment
• Proficiency using Microsoft Office, especially Access and Excel
• Experience using databases will be highly regarded
• Strong oral and written communication skills 

If you are interested in joining our team then send your application to hradmin@schoolofstjude.co.tz

Applications should include:

• A cover letter
• A Curriculum Vitae/Resume
