Oxfam Great Britain
Closing date: 22 Feb 2009
Location: Indonesia - Jakarta

Oxfam GB works in more than 80 countries to provide people with the support they need to overcome poverty and suffering. Here, in Indonesia, we run a busy programme of development, humanitarian, and advocacy initiatives. We have clear objectives for change and, by strengthening our country team, we believe we can turn our vision into reality. So why not do your bit too? Think about the difference you could make ? the effects of your solutions will be felt for a lifetime.

About the role

Indonesia has experienced years of turbulence. To build more stability for the future ? and address the country?s ongoing issues ? it?s essential that the right policy interventions are put in place. Your focus will be on researching and developing a far-reaching advocacy strategy that seeks to maximise our emergency relief programme within Indonesia and support disaster resolution and conflict management. In more detail, you?ll take a lead in developing campaigns and advocacy activities, coach partners on effective policy development and assist with planning and advice. Not to mention contributing to Oxfam?s internal communications and playing a key role in programme level budgeting and decision making.

What we?re looking for

We?ll be looking for a degree level education and considerable research experience, particularly in terms of policy development, communication or lobbying. You?ll also bring a good understanding of global and national development issues. You should be analytical in your approach with good computer literacy, but it?s just as important that you can communicate effectively and persuade others as part of a multicultural team. Fluency in both Bahasa Indonesia and English is important and you?ll be happy to work flexibly and undertake frequent travel.

About Oxfam

A simple, inescapable truth underlines everything we do at Oxfam. There?s enough wealth in this world to go around. It?s not unfortunate that people live in poverty. It?s unjustifiable. It?s not their problem. It?s ours too. And with the right support, we can beat poverty and injustice. More than 8,000 people already commit their time and talents to our campaigning, humanitarian and long-term development projects. Now we?re looking for yours.
