It is not often that one gets to make a real difference in one’s work. But this opportunity presents the platform to do just that; Not only to make an impact on the Charity itself, by supporting the President in their role, but even more so, to make a difference to those who benefit from the Charity’s work, for it is truly inspirational in its ability to change lives for the better.

Your exceptional organisational skills will enable the smooth delivery of multiple projects/priorities at any one time. Experience in Charities, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO’s) or the Legal sector would be particularly advantageous.

What IS a prerequisite, is your attitude and aptitude in taking a proactive and autonomous approach to your work and the desire to have a tangible impact on the Office of The President.
