It’s hard to believe that today 650 million people still don’t have clean, safe water and 2.3 billion live without a toilet. The resulting diseases kill 900 children every day.

Key responsibilities:
•Identify the skills and capabilities required to deliver current and future country programme work. Develop an annual resourcing plan and support and challenge managers to make the right resourcing choices.
•Develop a clear understanding of the country programme’s people needs and together with the Senior Management Team create and effectively deliver a people and organisational development plan to maximise the programme’s effectiveness and capabilities. Embed and role-model a strong performance management culture and processes.
•Support managers to drive, communicate and sustain change implementation by ensuring clarity on the rationale for change, the future vision, what needs to be done and what the impact is.

To be successful, you’ll need a Master’s degree-level qualification in Human Resources Management or Organisation Psychology, or a Master’s degree in Business Administration with a post-graduate diploma in Human Resources Management.
