The TB Europe Coalition (TBEC) seeks a consultant to help fulfil administrative and regulatory requirements. We are looking for a fluent Dutch speaker, ideally with some experience of Dutch governance systems relevant to NGOs.

Background

TBEC is a regional advocacy network of over 200 civil society organisations and individuals from across the WHO Europe region working to end TB in the region. The TBEC Secretariat is split between the UK and Ukraine, and is officially registered in the Netherlands. The bilingual network (EN/RU) aims to strengthen the role of civil society within the regional response to tuberculosis (TB), and ensure political and financial commitments to end TB. TBEC works twofold: first, to support civil society organisations and activists in their advocacy role at national level, and second, to coordinate and carry out evidence-based TB policy advocacy at regional and international level. TBEC aims to address the lack of political will through strategic advocacy efforts with key decision makers from global organisations - the Global Fund, the UN and WHO Europe to regional bodies such as the EU to national governments.

Opportunity

TBEC officially registered as a Stichting in the Netherlands in 2017. Since then it has developed substantially, managing a number of high-profile grants including ones from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and from the EU Consumers, Health, Agriculture and Food Executive Agency. However, there are certain administrative tasks that would advance the organisation but the Secretariat team does not have the necessary language skills or knowledge of the Dutch regulatory system. The consultant would fulfil some of these tasks, thereby supporting TBEC’s development and advancement.

Role responsibilities

The consultant will provide strategic and administrative support for a number of key tasks:

• Checking that TBEC’s governance information is correctly registered with the regulatory body, the Dutch Chamber of Commerce
• Apply for an EU transparency number

• Apply for Google Non-Profit registration through TechSoup NL
• Research regulations into Dutch Tax and VAT administration for charities

• Experience and familiarity with desk-based research
•  Ability to structure your time across different projects

Desirable Criteria:

• Knowledge of Dutch processes for the regulation of not-for-profit organisations
• Knowledge of the Russian language
• Experience with Dutch charities

Please send your CV (max 2 pages) and Cover Letter providing examples of how you meet requirements (max 2 pages) by the 9th December 2020. We are particularly interested in any experience you have that relates to the tasks involved in this role.

Timescale

We expect completion of the tasks listed above will require several months of part-time activity, after which the need and the manner of assistance with regulatory requirements will be reviewed. We expect the tasks to cover the equivalent of 2-3 months of full-time work. However, the successful applicant will be able to organise the task load according to their schedule (e.g. part time over a longer period) in negotiation with TBEC.

Interviews will be held on the 15th December.

Salary

£15 per hour (€16.5 subject to currency conversions)

Hourly rate and timeframe to be negotiated with the successful candidate

Salary - £22,000 to £24,000 per annum – depending on experience.

Permanent contract – 37 hours per week

Do you have a heart for God’s global mission and a head for strategy implementation? Are you good at influencing and leading people through change? If so, then you might be just the right person to take on the key role of director of international mission with Church Mission Society (CMS).

Like many mission organisations, over the past few decades CMS has gone through a process of decentralisation and localisation, resulting in the establishment of CMS-Africa and Asia-CMS within their respective regions. In addition, while CMS once worked primarily through placing people from the West in cross-cultural contexts, we’ve broadened our approach to include supporting local mission organisations and their mission personnel, partnership grant-making and network-building.

For the past year CMS has been carrying out an organisational strategic review to address three key issues:

1. A need for greater focus and clarity of purpose
2. A need for clarity of identity and role
3. A need for financial sustainability

This has resulted in the formation of a renewed international mission strategy. As a member of the senior leadership team (SLT), the director of international mission will play a key part in leading this strategic direction to success together with the CEO, the rest of the SLT, international partners and the international mission team. As a servant leader with exceptional cross-cultural communication skills, the successful candidate will set up processes and structures that mobilise people in mission and enable, strengthen and catalyse mission movements, leading them to flourish in the UK and overseas.

The ideal candidate will have a postgraduate qualification in business management or significant equivalent experience, and will have held a senior role in a mission organisation/charity with responsibility for managing, formulating and implementing international strategy. They will be a prayerful, discerning Christian, with some missiological knowledge and insight, which will lead to effective mission partnerships and nurture a healthy mission spirituality within CMS.

Further details can be found in the job description and person specification available to download.

This post has an occupational requirement for the post holder to be a practising and committed Christian, committed to the aims, values and the ethos statement of CMS. In addition, they must be able and willing to travel internationally around 50 days per annum. An enhanced criminal records check is also required for this post.

Closing date for receipt of completed applications:

• Midnight 5 January 2021 GMT
• First round of interviews will be held 19 or 20 January 2021 via Zoom.

For this post, CMS will consider sponsorship of a UK work permit for the right candidate.

Thank you for prayerfully exploring this opportunity.
