Organization: Xavier Project
Country: Kenya
Closing date: 26 Oct 2014

Job Vacancy – Chief Operations Officer

Location – Nairobi, Kenya

Salary - $22,100 pa (155,000 ksh pm), basic medical insurance, work permit (if required), $70 per month travel allowance

Answers to – Xavier Project Executive Director

Profile

Xavier Project is an international NGO working Kenya and Uganda. We aim to provide opportunities to refugees living in urban areas in Kenya and Uganda who are otherwise excluded from the means to live a fulfilled and dignified existence so that they will be able to take back control of their lives and make a positive change whether to their new communities or to their country of origin. Xavier Project is primarily an education focused NGO, and while we have media and livelihoods programmes educational interventions make up the core of our activities within these programmes.

Xavier Project is registered as a local NGO in Uganda, an international NGO in Kenya and a company and charity in UK. All operations are in Kenya and Uganda, but a majority of funds are raised in UK. We have a three way partnership agreement between the branches of Xavier Project and one executive team primarily based in the Xavier Project headquarters in Nairobi. Xavier Project currently employs 20 permanent staff and has an annual income of $250,000 which has been increasing by 50% every year since its founding in 2008.

Background

Urban refugees in East Africa face unique challenges. Culturally, it is difficult to assimilate into their new communities as they can be victims of xenophobia and can struggle from language differences. They cannot easily find jobs in a saturated and often nepotistic job market. There are administrative barriers to economic sustainability such as the challenge of obtaining work permits, and the rejection of foreign qualifications from employers and institutions. At present many refugees in Nairobi or Kampala do not have access to quality, relevant education delivered in a safe environment and their opportunities in education lag behind those of their local counterparts. In both Kampala and Nairobi there are over 10,000 refugee children who are not in formal education, amounting to around 50% in Nairobi and 60% in Kampala. 80% of those in formal education are not happy with the quality of the education they are receiving.

Added to this, most urban refugees are hoping to be resettled in developed countries, yet they know very little about the resettlement process, and their chances of being resettled. Less that 5% of urban refugees are resettled in any given year. Many refugees believe that the more vulnerable they are, or appear to be, the more likely their chances are of being resettled.

The pursuit of resettlement combined with the unique challenges faced by refugees leads to a negative attitude by refugees towards integration into their new community. This has a corrosive impact on the whole community. However, there are positive opportunities for refugees to take up in Kampala and Nairobi, whether offered by the government, NGO agencies or refugee run grass-roots organisations. Given their chances of resettlement it makes sense for refugees to make the most of the opportunities available to them in their host countries, such as education, livelihoods and vocational prospects offered by agencies. What is more, a more positive attitude and better communication among the refugee population should lead to vital innovation from refugees themselves. Tamuka media programme is educating refugees on the opportunities available to them and enabling them to communicate with each other and the wider world. Among other ambitions, the education programme is enabling refugees to receive an education that is more relevant to their challenges and their ambitions. Meanwhile, our livelihoods programme is enabling refugees to access affordable loans and learn the business skills they need to grow their careers.

Job Description and Expectations

Xavier Project is looking for a chief operations officer who will manage a country director in Kampala, an education director, a livelihoods director, Tamuka director, the communications officer and an office co-ordinator in Nairobi. The COO will strive to increase the impact of the all our programmes so that our work can be as efficient and effective as possible while achieving the best possible results for the refugee community. He or she will supervise the monitoring of each programme, and the compiling of regular reports which will evaluate impact and set targets for improvements. The COO will take responsibility for ensuring that the current Xavier Project staff members keep the refugee community at the focus of all their work, enjoy their work to the full and learn skills that will be valuable to them now and in their future careers. The COO will work alongside the CEO Edmund Page in moulding the vision of Xavier Project and planning effective strategies and projects which will contribute to this vision. As a member of the Xavier Project executive committee, when necessary the COO will be expected to offer advice and support to areas of Xavier Project beyond the scope of their day to day responsibilities.

Xavier Project is committed to ensuring that all staff members enjoy their work and gain valuable experience and skills that will enhance their impact now and in the future, whether with Xavier Project or not. As such as we run regular staff capacity building programmes and encourage all staff members to pursue opportunities which will help them to grow individually. This job is coming about as a division of two roles previously performed by the CEO Edmund Page, who now intends to focus on fundraising, building partnerships between Xavier Project and other institutions and generally promoting the work of Xavier Project.

LIVING CONDITIONS/ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS:

The position will be based in Monrovia, and may require travel to outlying counties and communities throughout Liberia. The security situation is stable but could change quickly in localized circumstances, although general unrest is not anticipated because of a significant UN, US military, and local police forces to maintain public safety. Monrovia is served by an international airport and has many hotels, restaurants and grocery stores. Health services are currently limited and while we have made provisions for emergency care, team members should not anticipate an environment where casual outpatient services are available. Because safe access to health services should not be anticipated, a degree of self-sufficiency in first aid and medications should be considered. Candidates must consider taking anti-malarials as a preventative measure and other measures to lower their risk of requiring medical services. Candidates with chronic health issues should consider disclosing and self-eliminating from this recruitment process. Currently there is an 11 pm curfew, which could change at anytime, and staff should expect some interruption of movement as the government manages the Ebola situation. Housing will either be at private residences as group housing or at nearby hotels. Traveling in and out of Liberia is increasingly complicated with many commercial airlines suspending service and many countries closing their borders (air, land and sea) to individuals coming from Liberia. Two commercial airlines continue to serve Liberia (Brussels Air and Air Maroc) and UNHAS is currently working to establish air service to Dakar, Senegal and Accra, Ghana.

Mercy Corps Team members represent the agency both during and outside of work hours when deployed in a field posting or on a visit/TDY to a field posting. Team members are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner and respect local laws, customs and Mercy Corps' policies, procedures, and values at all times and in all in-country venues.
