We are looking to recruit a CEO (Director) to support us in an exciting period of growth. Over the next 5 years, we will double our reach and impact. The CEO (Director) will lead us through this transformative period. 

Since 2011 Disability Africa has developed a model using playschemes as hubs to deliver essential lifesaving services to extremely vulnerable disabled children and to end their exclusion in low-income African communities. Using this model, we have worked with project partners in Kenya, The Gambia, Sierra Leone and Zambia. 680 disabled children have now attended our projects more than 90,000 times since 2011. Now the charity is planning to grow and expand with our 5-year plan (‘DA2029’) to replicate the Disability Africa Model to reach more disabled children across Africa.

By 2029 we will: 
• Start work with at least 4 new partners in Africa (as well as expected growth at our existing projects). 
• Deliver 160,000 attendances by at least 1,500 disabled children in 7 African countries. 
• Grow and reach as many disabled children as possible - we know we can’t do it all by ourselves - so we will engage other international NGOs to adopt our model of inclusion. 

Disability Africa is a four-day week employer.

• Foster collaboration and knowledge sharing: Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders across relevant sectors, including researchers, policymakers, and practitioners, to share data, insights, and best practices to advance the field. This will involve building partnerships with organisations and agencies beyond the traditional homelessness sector to access and analyse relevant data, including cost and effectiveness data.

WHO YOU ARE

• A data expert: You have a PhD in a relevant discipline including statistics; econometrics; or data science; or relevant work experience in lieu of a PhD. 
• A collaborative leader: You have experience of working collaboratively with a range of partners including in government or local government on data analysis
• A great manager: You have led and built high performing data analysis teams. Experience working in a fast paced working environment and delivering on projects with tight turnaround times.
• A strategic thinker: You can translate complex data and analytical insights into actionable strategies to address homelessness and its root causes, with a keen understanding of how to identify and evaluate cost-effective solutions. You can connect data-driven insights to broader organisational goals and strategic priorities.
• An effective communicator: You can clearly and persuasively communicate data-driven insights, including complex analytical findings and financial analyses, to various audiences, from policymakers to practitioners. You can tailor your communication style to different audiences and effectively convey the value of data and analytics.
• Desirable: An understanding of the homelessness sector and its data.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS
