- Good research and analytical skills.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills in English.
- Comfortable working independently, with guidance from the team.

- Alignment with Disability Africa’s vision and way of working, including the Social Model of Disability, and a willingness to apply this ethos in practical partnership-building.
- An ethical and reflective approach to collaboration, grounded in integrity, transparency, and accountability.
- Commitment to inclusion and equal opportunities, and to approaches that expand access and participation for disabled children and young people.
Desirable (but not essential)

- Familiarity with international development, disability inclusion, education, or community-based programmes.
- Experience working with or alongside grassroots organisations.
