WASH MANAGER PROGRAMME
Closing date: 10 Jul 2009
Location: Zimbabwe – Harare

£21,500 – £28,000 net per annum Harare

The people of Zimbabwe face many problems.

But perhaps most immediately worrying is their diminishing access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene.
Sewage systems in high density and unplanned urban areas have collapsed due to age, excessive loading and poor maintenance.
While lack of resources at a community level have contributed to the breakdown of crucial hand pumps in rural areas.
A cholera epidemic which started in August 2008 has already claimed the lives of nearly 4500 people and there are 100,000 further suspected cases.
At Oxfam, we’re helping to turn things around with a co-ordinated, 3-year Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) strategy.
And we now need someone to head it up, which is where you come in.
About the roleIn this high profile role, you’ll lead and manage our WASH programme in Zimbabwe.
To start with, you’ll need to develop the programme itself, including the policies and objectives we put in place.
From there, it will involve working closely with WASH partners, UN Agencies, donors and government representatives to plan, co-ordinate and roll the programme out, and make it a success.
Along the way, you’ll be controlling a substantial budget, developing relationship with national partners, sharing knowledge and making sure the work we do with WASH ties in with Oxfam’s broader disaster recovery efforts.
What we’re looking forThe chances are you’ll come to us from another not-for profit-organisation.
Whatever your background, you’ll need considerable experience in international programme management that extends to both emergency relief efforts and long-term development work.

Exceptional communication skills, regional knowledge and cultural sensitivity are essential, as building relations with local community groups, government authorities and other NGOs will be key to your success. You‘ll also need to be an inspirational leader – someone who knows how to make the most of our resources, and mobilise and motivate a geographically widespread team.

About OxfamA simple, inescapable truth underlines everything we do at Oxfam.

There’s enough wealth in this world to go around.

It’s not unfortunate that people live in poverty. It’s unjustifiable. It’s not just their problem. It’s ours too.

And with the right support, we can beat poverty and injustice.

More than 8,000 people already commit their time and talents to our campaigning, humanitarian and long-term development projects.

Now we’re looking for yours.
