More than half the world lives in poverty. Christian Aid has a vision – an end to poverty – and we believe that vision can become a reality.

We work wherever there is great need, helping people to find their own solutions to the problems they face, irrespective of their religion, caste or creed. If you’re passionate about positive change across the world, then this job might be for you.

A country of vast human and natural resources, Nigeria has influence over the political, social and cultural agenda throughout Africa.

We are looking for an exceptional ‘self-starter’ who is able to provide technical leadership and expertise to a large ($32 million) and complex USAID project to scale up care and support services for orphans and vulnerable children. You must have significant managerial experience on a large-scale multi-partner development programme, have worked at a senior level on a USAID or other large donor-funded project and, ideally, you will have first-hand knowledge of Nigeria. At least you must have a positive outlook about contributing to change here. Nigerian candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.

• The ideal candidate must possess a Master’s degree in social sciences, public health or a related field;
• and must have at least seven years experience in public health, including in multi-sectoral care and support for OVC and/or people living with HIV/AIDS.

You will need:

• Demonstrated ability to manage a complex programme, working collaboratively across technical disciplines
• Solid knowledge and understanding of current good practices in OVC programming
• Proven expertise in developing and implementing effective partnerships with private sector entities
• Proven experience in designing, implementing and monitoring capacity strengthening approaches for government and civil society partners
• Excellent interpersonal skills and demonstrated ability to lead and work effectively in a team
• Excellent oral and written communication skills.
• Fluency in English essential.
• Knowledge of local languages desirable.
