About EPAfrica

EPAfrica (Education Partnerships Africa) is a volunteer-run charity that works in partnership with rural secondary schools in East Africa. We focus on sustainable improvements in education by investing in infrastructure, resources, and people. Our volunteers play a crucial role in delivering meaningful, long-term impact through grassroots engagement and collaborative problem-solving.

Role Overview

As a Project Manager (PM), you'll be part of EPAfrica’s Summer Team, which is our in-country leadership group responsible for overseeing and supporting Project Workers (PWs) to deliver meaningful programmes of investment in Kenyan schools. You’ll take on a leadership role that blends operational oversight, pastoral care, and high-level decision-making to ensure the success and safety of our summer projects. This is a unique opportunity to develop leadership skills, contribute meaningfully to international development, and support passionate volunteers in-country.

Key Responsibilities

  • Direct managerial responsibility for our volunteers in-country, including our Project Workers (PWs) and a “Summer Team” of coordinators. 

  • Lead and support a cohort of PWs throughout their placements in partner schools, including:

    • With the support of coordinators, deliver trainings on topics such as project management, effective international development practices, safety and wellbeing, and cultural awareness

    • Provide pastoral support and act as the first point of contact for volunteers in-country

    • Oversee project progress, support PWs in addressing challenges, and ensure investment projects stay aligned with EPAfrica’s mission and theory of change

  • Implement our in-country monitoring and evaluation programme, enabling us to effectively plan for and deliver future investments. This includes:

    • Monitoring visits to current & recent investment schools to gauge impact of EPAfrica’s work

    • Assessment visits to potential future EPAfrica participant schools

    • Staying up-to-date research into developments in the Kenyan education system and potential impacts on our work

    • Maintaining relationships with our network of local partners.

  • Managing risk and implementing an emergency response to crises.

  • Maintain clear and proactive communication with the central UK-based charity team. 

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong familiarity with, and demonstrated interest in, EPAfrica’s values and operating model.

  • A keen demonstrated interest in grassroots international development is required; previous experience in this setting (volunteering, fieldwork, or prior work experience) preferred.

  • Experience managing teams to deliver project-based work, and leading with empathy. 

  • Effective communication skills and the ability to work with stakeholders from a variety of cultures and backgrounds. 

  • Demonstrated ability to take initiative and solve problems under pressure, with good  judgement, and decision-making skills.

  • Willingness to operate in a challenging, fast-paced environment, taking accountability for team decisions.

  • Experience as a Project Worker or previous Summer Team involvement preferred.

What You’ll Gain

  • Real, hands-on leadership and project management experience. 

  • Exposure to international development at a grassroots level, with concrete opportunities to deliver meaningful work.

  • A rich cultural experience and the opportunity to immerse yourself in semi-rural communities in Western Kenya. 

  • Volunteers benefit from one week’s holiday in the middle of the programme, allowing the opportunity to explore the rest of the country (previous volunteers have travelled to Mombasa, Nairobi and the Maasai Mara). 

  • Opportunity to lead a team of passionate, like-minded individuals and build a strong professional network within the charity and our wider community.

  • A standout experience for your CV, and the chance to develop transferable skills in stakeholder management, communication, logistics, and more. Previous EPAfrica volunteers have leveraged their experience with us to secure roles with the FCDO, WHO, UN, Civil Service and in a variety of consultancies. 

Interested?

We’d love to hear from you! If you’re enthusiastic about education, development, and making a difference, this is a unique opportunity to get involved and get hands-on, meaningful experience delivering grassroots international development projects in Kenya. You’re also welcome to apply with a friend and complete a summer placement alongside them; just let us know in your application.
