Health Poverty Action works with some of the poorest and most marginalised communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America, often in very difficult environments. We work to enable these communities to achieve both immediate and long-term improvements to their health, promoting this as one of their fundamental human rights. At the same time we campaign for the changes in policies and practices needed to create and sustain good health among the world’s poorest people.
Head of Finance and Administration (13 months maternity cover with possible extension)
Salary of £38,855 per annum including London weighting
Health Poverty Action believes improving health and eradicating poverty must go hand in hand. With almost 400 staff worldwide, we work with some of the most neglected communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America. It’s wonderful work to be part of, and you will play a key role.
For the right person this is without doubt a fantastic job. But it’s also a very challenging one.
The finances and the administrative requirements are complex. The donor requirements are varied and stringent. The circumstances and logistics are frequently very difficult. In particular, there is no room for error – and the need is far, far greater than the resources.
This role therefore demands an outstanding person – not only of exceptional ability and completely dependable, but also passionately committed to the cause, and willing to share in the leadership of the organisation as a whole as a member of Health Poverty Action’s Senior Management Team.
