ICDI is looking for a new colleague
18-08-2008
Senior Programme Manager
(M/F)
0.6 fte (3 days per week)
We are looking for a colleague with a special interest and a proven track record in working on behalf of disadvantaged children and their families. The candidate should be familiar with international human development issues, action research, programme development, training, and NGO capacity building. Furthermore it is essential that he or she has extensive experience in successful institutional and other creative forms of fundraising.
The person will be ICDI's main 'anchor' for a new programme activity: the International Palestinian Children Initiative (IPCI.) The focus of this programme is to create holistic, high-impact interventions that will support the healthy development of Palestinian girls and boys. IPCI is a joint programme of ICDI and its Palestinian partner organization The Trust of Programs for Early Childhood, Family and Community Education. The new Programme Manager will be expected to have set up IPCI as a sustainable, long term programme after one year. It is, therefore, an absolute requirement that he/she has a solid knowledge of the region and funding agencies, and has access to high-quality networks both in the Middle East and other parts of the world. We hope that, given additional funding, the post can be changed into a full-time position.
The Programme Manager's key responsibilities are to design, draft and develop new proposals and projects; monitor and evaluate projects; draft reports; provide technical assistance and training during project implementation; contribute to organizational strategic planning and development; identify and pursue funding opportunities; contribute to action research; network and represent ICDI and the IPCI programme; and support and advise junior programme managers.
The assignment is, in principle, for one year with a one month probation period. The working relationship could lead to a permanent contract, when all involved parties agree and the necessary funds are raised.
Application letters, CV's and contact details for at least three references should be sent by email to the HR and Administration Manager, Bregje van Bemmel, bregje@icdi.nl with cc mathijs@icdi.nl. The application deadline is 15 September 2008.
Only persons with residence and working permits for the EU should apply. For more information on this vacancy please contact Mathijs Euwema, Director, mathijs@icdi.nl, or Nico van Oudenhoven, Senior Associate, nico@icdi.nl.
