Driven by Christian values, CBM works in the world’s poorest places to reach those who are most left behind.

· Coordinate and prepare timely reports in collaboration with countries (narrative, financial and communication aspects) from allocated response projects in order to facilitate internal and external reporting including three months after, six month after and annual reports

· Ensure that communication products such as human interest stories, pictures, videos, publications are produced and shared in a timely manner.

We are looking for someone who has…

· Minimum of 10 years’ experience in project management and strategic oversight with focus on emergency preparedness and response

History of CBM Global

Until now, the CBM federation has been made up of 10 Member Associations (MAs) providing the vital link between persons with disabilities in 25 of the poorest countries, and people that have the interest, capacities and resources to help.

There have for some time been fundamental differences over how CBM should best place itself to contribute to the wider disability agenda. Earlier this year, it was agreed that a new federation – CBM Global – would be formed with a simplified governance and a greater focus on disability inclusion. And while our excellent field programmes will continue there will be a greater emphasis on the interconnection between programme, advocacy and advisory work.

With an income of €43m, CBM Global is made up of 7 of the Member Associations (CBM Australia, CBM Ireland, CBM Kenya, CBM New Zealand, CBM South Africa, CBM Switzerland, and CBM UK) with programmes worldwide and Country Offices in 11 countries (Philippines, Bangladesh, Laos, Nepal, Indonesia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Burkina, Nigeria, Madagascar and Bolivia).

There is widespread excitement about the opportunities the fresh federation affords. Coming with strong networks, substantial funds and a progressive approach to development, we now have the chance to configure ourselves to serve and thrive in the INGO context of the 2020s and beyond.

About us

The Royal Foundation – now the primary philanthropic vehicle of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge – was founded 10 years ago.  It has built a track-record of learning, convening, incubating, researching, campaigning, and succeeding across a wide range of topics that really matter.  The Royal Foundation has helped disrupt criminal poaching networks through United for Wildlife.

About us

The Cure Parkinson’s Trust (CPT) is the only organisation in the UK solely dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson’s. We work with funders and institutional partners around the world to initiate and fund fundamental research and ground-breaking clinical trials.

Parkinson’s is a debilitating neurological condition affecting over 145,000 people in the UK and 10 million people worldwide. It is characterised by tremors, rigidity, slowness of movement and many other symptoms.  There is no cure.  The treatment of Parkinson’s has not changed significantly in over 50 years - i.e. the treatment of symptoms only - and some of the side effects of existing symptomatic treatments are as troubling as the condition itself.

CPT believes that a cure is within reach.  Numerous recent scientific advances in the field lead us to the view that it is funding, not science, which is holding up effective treatments that slow, stop or reverse the condition.  Our ground-breaking Linked Clinical Trials (LCT) program is a high-profile example (re-purposing - against Parkinson’s - existing treatments used for other conditions, based on sound biochemical evidence): many trials are underway, but there are many more to fund.

Please apply by submitting a CV and a covering letter outlining your skills and why you are suitable for this role.  Applications without a covering letter will not be considered.
