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.
