Salary: £37,000 to £46,000 per annum (FTE)
Reporting to: Director of Finance and Operations
Contract: Part Time (0.6 FTE) - 21 hours per week, Permanent
Location: Lambeth, London  

Who we are
  Our vision is a world free of preventable disease, in which everyone everywhere can reach their full potential. We were founded in 2002 with a £20m grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and started life at Imperial College London as the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative.

The SCI Foundation consistently ranks globally as one of the most cost-effective non-profit initiatives, we have received significant funding from the UK Department of International Development, USAID, and philanthropic investors.

In 2019 we became an independent organisation, and the SCI Foundation now works across multiple sectors in numerous countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to deliver effective and robust health programmes that have a lasting impact.

What we do
  Working in partnership with Governments, the SCI Foundation supports and facilitates public health programmes that reduce the impact of preventable diseases like schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis. We provide technical and financial support to Ministries of Health, in line with their own strategies and plans, to enhance sustainability and strengthen health systems within countries affected by these diseases. We work to scale up their government-implemented deworming programmes by providing advisory support and conducting research and analysis on the outcomes.  

To date, our team has supported up to 60% of all global schistosomiasis treatments being delivered annually and we are broadening our reach to coordinate with health programmes for other preventable diseases, as well as supporting disease prevention measures such as water, sanitation and hygiene and the management of the impacts of these diseases on individuals.  

It is an exciting time as SCI Foundation now looks to support the disease elimination targets set by the World Health Organization, while contributing to the strengthening of health systems and helping to improve health equity.

The Role
  The purpose of this post is to effectively manage SCI Foundation contracting across the organisation.

The role will also act as SCI Foundation focal person for compliance with Safeguarding standards and duty of care to team members and partners and also compliance with GDPR regulations liaising with external experts as necessary.

This post is key to our success and financial performance and to preserve SCI Foundation’s reputation for excellent stewardship of resources to support our vision of a world free of preventable disease.
