Description

Job description

This entry level role into a humanitarian sector charity will support the planning, delivery, and evaluation of UK- and overseas-delivered surgical, anaesthesia, obstetrics/gynaecology, and nursing courses, will administer our medical teaching faculty, and will support all other aspects of the Foundation's business as they relate to its international programmes.

We recognise that the right person might come from a background that has not enabled them to gain the advantages sometimes available to others.

We therefore choose not to specify precise requirements but believe that this role will suit people whose qualifications, skills, attributes, interests, and experience include some or all of the following:

• Knowledge of, and keen interest in, public health, current affairs, the humanitarian sector, and international relations.
• Ability, personal resilience, and willingness to travel to highrisk countries to facilitate programme delivery, which as things stand involves approximately 7 weeks of international and 2 weeks of national travel per year.
• Willingness to travel outside of normal office hours.
• Proven ability to manage own workload, organising and prioritising tasks to meet deadlines.
• Good communication, interpersonal and writing skills.
• An ability to manage timesensitive work in a fastpaced environment.
• Excellent organisational skills with an ability to establish tools for effective workload management.
• Willingness to grow with the role.
