The International Nepal Fellowship (INF) is Nepal’s longest serving international NGO with over seven decades of experience working with Nepal’s poorest and most disadvantaged people and communities.

Nepal is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. After a decade of peace following the 1996 to 2006 civil war, the country was hit by several generation-defining events. In 2015, a catastrophic earthquake killed nearly 9,000 people and then the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic took its toll on the nation, amplifying challenges such as social exclusion, limited access to basic services, and weakening economic growth.

Its people have worked hard and achieved much to reduce poverty in Nepal. Twenty years ago, nearly every other family lived in extreme poverty, earning less than $1.25 a day. Although this number has halved, today there are still one in four families living in extreme poverty. This is why Nepal and its people need further help in the alleviation of poverty and suffering.

Today, INF in the UK is a forward-thinking and impactful organisation, raising funds and supporting programmes and projects initiated and delivered by our Nepali partners, addressing key needs in healthcare, disability, community resilience, education and emergency relief.

We are motivated by our Christian faith, showing active compassion for some of the world’s poorest people, and encouraging individuals and communities to access and enjoy their rights as a holistic expression of our values.

We believe all people are equal, and so inclusion and dignity are very important to us, irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, disability, economic status, caste or any other feature.

INF UK is continuing on a journey of transformation. Five years ago we moved from being a missionary sending agency to a resourcing organisation, raising funds and awareness for our partners locally. We are now embarking on the transition to becoming a more locally-led organisation, supporting and empowering our local partners to assume a greater role in the way INF UK develops and evolves.

INF UK now seeks a CEO to lead a small and talented team and drive this process of transformational change. You will bring experience of senior leadership, international development, strategic planning, resource mobilisation, partnership building and financial oversight. This will be underpinned by a mature Christian faith and a passion to see Nepali people living dignified, hope-filled lives, free from poverty and suffering.

If this sounds like you we would love to hear from you. Closing date is 5pm GMT on Thursday 12th December 2024.

Please note that this role has an Occupational Requirement to be a committed Christian as permitted under Schedule 9, Part 1, of the Equality Act 2010.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing and friendly team in a dynamic regional charity.

The Charity has consistently punched above its weight, achieving an impact beyond its size.  Since 2000, we have invested over £45m in vital research activities in the region’s top hospitals and universities, constantly pushing the boundaries forward in the fight against cancer.  We have also launched influential, region-wide initiatives, including award-winning public health campaigns, a leading-edge annual Regional Report on cancer and creating the innovative Lab-Coat Learning education programme for the region’s schools as well as launching a retail chain.

We are driven by the difference we are making in the fight against cancer.  If this is a fight which excites and inspires you, then step forward: we’d love to hear from you.
