Job Description

RESULTS UK is recruiting for a Campaigns Manager to deliver a new ‘Fighting Malaria, Improving Health’ programme in three countries, Tanzania, Ghana and Sierra Leone. Based in London but working alongside African partner organisations, the programme will build the capacity of young people affected by poor health infrastructure – in particular, those from communities affected by malaria – to become powerful advocates for policy changes to combat malaria, to strengthen health systems, and to help those countries achieve Universal Health Coverage. 

The role is a fixed-term contract to the end of 2020, to work in close partnership with African partners to empower youth advocates to increasingly take ownership and delivery of powerful advocacy interventions at the country, regional and global level; and to build capacity of civil society to engage in advocacy for the strengthening of their countries’ health systems, leaving a lasting legacy. 

This role will suit an advocacy professional with experience of working in partnerships, especially with Southern partners, to achieve powerful and strategic advocacy outcomes. A mature and respectful approach to working with partners operating in different advocacy contexts will be essential, as is a humility to recognise the specificity of those local contexts and partners’ existing expertise. 

This post will provide excellent opportunities for leading on a globally dispersed project that contributes significant advocacy outcomes, including influencing key moments such as international conferences and negotiations.
