DIRECTOR

Worldaware is seeking a successor to its present Director, who retires in December 1999.

Following government’s commitment, in the DFID 1997 White Paper, to increasing development awareness in Britain, there is a new climate of opportunity in which a creative individual, with an understanding of the ways in which public attitudes are influenced, can develop the work of the organization. We are looking for someone who will combine commitment to Worldaware’s aims with understanding of the need to co-operate with a wide range of organizations and institutions, acting as a catalyst to achieve change.

The successful candidate will have an up-to-date understanding of the key issues of international development and the ways in which they relate to the interests of people in Britain. S/he will feel confident in making high level contacts in business, politics and education, and will have proven skills in communication. The ability to lead a small professional staff team as well as working with highly qualified volunteers and advisers will also be essential.

Closing date for enquiries will be 9th February and for applications 16th February.

An information pack for candidates, with details of how to apply, is available from: Selection Committee, Worldaware, 31-35 Kirby Street, London EC1N 8TE Telephone: 0171 831 3844 Fax: 0171 831 1746
