The Treatment Action Campaign are looking for a development officer/fund manager to be based in SA.

What follows is a short blurb and the ad:

“We are struggling to recruit a development officer/fundraiser. We are therefore re-advertising,and headhunting for good candidates to apply. We are also looking beyond South Africa for good people, who would be willing to come and
work for TAC, from either Cape Town or Jo'burg).

They should have fundraising experience and be good at communicating and proposal writing, and should be very hardworking. They also need to a have a good knowledge of the donor environment in South Africa and overseas."

KNOW ABOUT CAMPAIGNING AND HIV/AIDS?

We are looking for a dymanic and energetic person, who could work in the UK Consortium Office, to cover the Stop AIDS Campaign Manager's post for a minimum period of 3-4 months as a secondment from a membership organisation or on a temporary contract. As you know Kirsty McNeill, present SAC Manager, is leaving the UK Consortium on January 20th to work for DATA. Meanwhile we shall be reviewing the campaign, joining in the Consortium strategic planning process and recruiting a new SAC Manager.

After an extra special year in 2005, where the Stop AIDS Campaign progressed massively, we don't want to lose the momentum or political contacts that have been made. Recruitment processes take time and we need someone to hold the reins for the time being. Ideally we are looking for someone who is already involved in the Campaign, but not necessarily. We need someone with experience in campaigning, who has the ability to lead, follow-up contacts and work with members in running the lobbying and raising awareness aspects of the campaign. The main areas of responsibility include organising activities, development and managing of external relations along with the Coordinators, media liaison and coordination of the campaign membership.

To bring together the many facets of public health the Faculty has developed a series of specialist interest ‘Network Groups’. These groups are web-based discussion groups designed to facilitate:
- networking between individuals (in the UK and worldwide) who share a common interest in a particular area of public health;
- the exchange of ideas, knowledge and best practice in the field of public health and within a special interest;
- communication between Network Group members and the Faculty (and vice versa).

Membership is free and open to all individuals (subject to approval) – not just Faculty members.
