Are you an experienced Programme Manager that has the ability to implement and coordinate capacity building activities for our NGO partners?
UK-Med is a frontline medical aid charity. Born of the NHS, we’ve been working for over 30 years towards a world where everyone has the healthcare they need when crises or disasters hit.
The overall aim of UK-Med’s National Capacity Building capability is to work with partners and health staff to strengthen response skills in order to enable health services to be better prepared for emergencies.
The Programme Manager plays an essential role in ensuring that UK-Med delivers high-quality capacity building activities, manages relationships effectively and contributes actively to the strategic direction of the work of the READY Initiative. The Programme Manager works closely with the Head of Learning & Capacity Building on delivering UK-Med’s responsibilities in the READY initiative and in developing strategic direction and vision for UK-Med’s capacity building portfolio in line with our Capacity Building Approach.
The Programme Manager is an experienced humanitarian professional with a wealth of experience in working successfully in consortia, managing complex projects, and delivering quality capacity building training programmes. Furthermore, the Programme manager is passionate about building networks, working directly with partners and is able to see and explore opportunities for collaboration effectively.
We offer a competitive salary and benefits along with a friendly working environment and the opportunity to make a real difference through and influential role in humanitarian programming.
At the same time UK-Med tries to provide feedback to applicants and share with them where they have fallen short in the competitive process, it may be very difficult to provide individual feedback. Especially looking at the large number of applications UK-Med receives and the multiple recruitments taking place at the same time, specifically during times of ongoing emergency surges.
