The Brooke is the UK’s leading overseas working equine welfare charity, dedicated to improving the lives of horses, donkeys and mules working in some of the poorest communities in the world. On average six or more people depend on the income generated through the work of each animal and so by improving animal welfare, the lives of poor people in the developing world are improved. Our goal is to increase the number of working animals we reach from 900,000 every year to 2 million horses, donkeys and mules in the most need in the developing world by 2016.
The Role
This is a broad and interesting role for a highly capable and dedicated individual with proven programme management experience in an international development context. The Programme Advisor is the first point of contact and support to Brooke Country Programmes.

You will have significant experience in planning, implementing and monitoring NGO programmes, acquired from working closely with the developing world. Additionally, you will have experience of writing reports and strong financial management skills. Candidates should be able to demonstrate a high level of organisational ability and a commitment to the Brooke’s work and values.
In order to excel in this post, you will have a commitment to continuous improvement and be keen to diversify your skills through involvement in wider organisational projects and initiatives.

Experience of working within the Middle East and the ability to speak Arabic is desirable. The ability to undertake extensive travel overseas, and to work under arduous conditions is essential.
