Traidcraft fights poverty through trade. A Christian response to poverty, we are best known as the UK’s leading fair trade organisation and are engaged in a wide range of trade and development activities.
Our East Africa programme works to enable poor producers to grow their businesses, find markets and engage effectively in trade. Our work is focussed on key themes important in the East African context. This includes working in the tea and honey sectors and in semi arid areas; and working to promote the availability of appropriate business services to enterprises. The scale of our work in East Africa has grown in recent years and now covers Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. We are looking to accelerate this growth in the years to come.
We are looking to recruit a Projects Officer to work as part of our team in Nairobi, supporting the Regional Director in the development and management of the Traidcraft programme. The successful candidate will be a proactive self starter, with strong organisational skills and experience in a market-oriented business or NGO programmes supporting small-enterprise development. A track record of successfully developing and managing projects is important.
In return we can offer a competitive salary with 25 days annual leave plus public holidays and flexible working arrangements as well as a contributory pension scheme (where applicable) and free life assurance.
