Oxfam GB | Jobs 12 03 2010 Job Title: Regional Director - Southern African Region Salary: £34,932-£43,686 net plus max £7,000 market supplement Closing Date: 17th March 2010 Telephone Interview Dates: 22nd-23rd March 2010 Panel Interview Date: 30th March 2010 Southern Africa is never far from the news. The region presents challenges because of chronic food insecurity, a growing frequency of natural distaters, governance challenges in some places, and high demand for services, especially in the context of HIV and AIDS. Women's rights reman a challenge too. But the region also offers huge opportunities - a growing role for South Africa in regional and global processes, especially through the G20: a region that has seen much political tranbility and growing democracy, and big oportunitied to effect economic recovery in Zimbabwe. In the context of these challenges and opportunities, Oxfam GB is proud to be working with and supporting others, in many of the significant changes taking place in this region.
With a long-term programme that extends beyond emergency relief efforts to ongoing development, lobbying and advocacy work, we're committed to making a positive difference to the lives of people across the region. What we need now is an inspirational leader to implement our strategic vision for Southern Africa and head up the entire operation. This role represents a tremendous challenge (you'll be controlling a budget of some £19 million and co-ordinating the efforts of a geographically widespread 220-strong team). But if you've got what it takes, it's not just the people of the Southern Africa who'll benefit. As part of our International Strategic Management Team, you'll have a profound influence on both Oxfam GB and Oxfam International's global direction.
