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.

• Deliver 160,000 attendances by at least 1,500 disabled children in 7 African countries.

Harris Hill is delighted to work exclusively with CISV International, a global non-profit dedicated to peace education, in seeking an experienced International Safeguarding and Risk Management Lead to ensure the safety and well-being of its volunteers and participants across its network of over 60 member associations worldwide.

This senior role is crucial in shaping, developing, and implementing safeguarding and risk management policies and processes that support CISV’s mission of fostering intercultural understanding. The post holder will oversee the safeguarding and risk management systems for all of CISV’s global peace education programmes, ensuring they meet high safety standards and comply with legal and regulatory frameworks. As part of the Senior Management Team, you will report directly to the CEO and lead a small staff team as well as a volunteer network of risk managers, providing training, guidance, and expert advice on risk management and safeguarding matters.

The successful candidate will be a people person and a charismatic leader, conscious that empowering colleagues and volunteers is more effective than just ‘managing them.’ You will bring significant senior-level safeguarding experience, ideally in child protection, along with a strong understanding of UK safeguarding laws and the regulatory requirements of the Charity Commission. This candidate will also show a good understanding and ability to lead a team in broader risk management concerns. You should have the ability to develop and enforce policies, manage serious incidents, and communicate effectively across diverse cultural contexts. Experience in international or volunteer-led organisations is desirable, as is the ability to work with volunteers in a multicultural environment.
