Despite being preventable and curable, tuberculosis (TB) is the most significant infectious disease killer in the world. The full-time TB Europe Coalition (TBEC) Officer will be responsible for the advocacy and capacity-building of TBEC’s EU-based members and will represent the TBEC Secretariat. 

Under the UN Sustainable Development Agenda, the goal is to end the epidemic by 2030. However, in 2018, 10 million people developed TB and 1.5 million died of the disease. At current rates of progress, the end of the epidemic will not be reached for another 100 years at least. The TB Europe Coalition (TBEC) is a regional advocacy network working with civil society to end TB in the WHO European region. TBEC’s network is made up of around 215 civil society organisations and individuals from across 35 different countries in the wider European region, comprising Western and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia. Established in 2009, TBEC has grown rapidly and is now increasingly recognised as one of the leading voices of the civil society in the fight against TB across the region. TBEC has two key areas of focus: first, to support civil society organisations and activists in their advocacy role at national and regional levels, and second, to coordinate and carry out evidence-based TB policy advocacy at regional and international levels.

The TBEC Officer leads on the delivery of all activities laid out in the EU CHAFEA Specific Grant Agreement, for its final two years, which focuses on advocacy towards relevant regional bodies and capacity-building activities for civil society organisations in EU member states. The role, alongside TBEC’s other Secretariat staff, will be responsible for leading the delivery of TBEC’s advocacy and research, and EU capacity building activities, ranging from online webinars to an online mentoring programme. When the global situation is safe to do so, they will also organise country-based workshops. The role will ensure the transparent, accountable and sustainable governance of the network. The Officer will task-manage the TBEC Coordinator, who is responsible for administrative management and communications.

We are looking for a proactive and organised team player, who is able to manage a variety of different tasks and projects. They will be able to manage their budget, ensuring that all project costs remain within those anticipated in the budget. The candidate will also have experience organising trainings (general events organisation experience will also be considered). This role would suit someone with experience in an advocacy environment, who is looking for a varied role in which they are able to develop a range of projects and skills. They will need experience organising trainings or other events, and know how this can build participants’ skills. Given the small nature of the organisation’s Secretariat, it is vital that they are able to work on a variety of different projects and manage inter-cultural dynamics. A positive and enthusiastic attitude, as well as the desire to get involved, is encouraged.

This post is an excellent opportunity for someone who wishes to develop their understanding of the global health arena and support civil society advocacy. They will be able to work closely with a range of regional platforms, as well as advocates in the field across the region.

As an organisation, we are aware of the underrepresentation of certain groups and communities in our sector. These include - but are certainly not limited to - people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME), refugee and lower socio-economic backgrounds. We want to change this and are committed to playing our part as an organisation. As a committed equal opportunities employer, we actively welcome applications from people of a wide range of backgrounds, skills and abilities, recognising the value that these different perspectives bring to our organisation. If you would like an informal discussion about the role or have any questions, please contact the current TBEC Officer Serian Carlyle (details in the job pack). We are happy to answer any questions about barriers to access.

About us
Crisis is the national charity for homeless people. We know that homelessness is not inevitable. We know that together we can end it.

Since the coronavirus outbreak began, our society has pulled together to achieve extraordinary things. Thousands of people sleeping rough have been temporarily housed in a matter of weeks, and many more were prevented from becoming homeless due to emergency changes to legislation.

As we begin to emerge from lockdown, we now stand at a crossroads: we can build on the incredible progress that has been made by helping everyone move into a secure and permanent home; or we risk seeing thousands of people being forced into homelessness.

Whilst you won’t be primarily supporter facing you will be absolutely central to fundraising success, using and growing your in-depth knowledge of corporate partner and philanthropy audiences, putting you in a brilliant position to later move into either a frontline fundraising role or a range of other internal teams. But we hope you won’t want to leave!

• Strong organisation skills, attention to detail and a methodical approach to tasks.
• Able to work on own initiative, but also as part of a closely coordinated team.
• Share Crisis’s values and be passionate about ending homelessness

Benefits
As a member of the team you will have access to a wide range of employee benefits including:

You should have a good command of language and be able to adopt different tones and styles of writing when supporting projects from both our operational work around the world and fundraising campaigns – from commenting on the latest developments in the Syrian war to celebrating children who have raised £100 in their local community. You will be able to clearly convey ideas in a compelling and concise manner and bring passion and excitement when it is needed. Attention to detail is crucial.

We are looking for someone who has an active interest in global news, international politics, and international development. You will also have a genuine love for incredible charity supporters and for fundraising generally. And you will be able to develop a two-way relationship with our supporters on social media.

This is an exciting and demanding role – you will need to be able to juggle competing priorities and manage stakeholders effectively.

You should have a good eye for design and the ability to source and edit images. A solid understanding of SEO and content marketing is desirable. Social advertising experience would also be an advantage, although not required.

• Spot relevant news stories, flag issues, and share developments with the rest of the team

Planning & reporting

• Create editorial calendars and campaign plans that meet specific objectives
• Gather input from and share plans with international teams in a timely manner so we can be coordinated globally, as well as thinking globally about content and posts.
• Regular reporting, measuring the effectiveness of campaigns and using data to make evidence-based recommendations for social media output
• Provide written and/or verbal social content briefs to the Brand & Content team for teams in the field
• Take an active role in creative brainstorms and help develop innovative ideas and campaigns to make ShelterBox stand out in a busy marketplace
