Programmes Manager - Siyakwazi

Siyakwazi is a dynamic nonprofit organisation based in KwaNzimakwe, KwaZulu-Natal. Siyakwazi runs a number of programmes dedicated to promoting inclusive education and supporting children with disabilities and developmental delays. We believe in enabling all children, regardless of ability, to participate meaningfully in their communities and to access quality support in homes, ECD centres, schools, and clinics. 

Siyakwazi is currently seeking a
Programmes Manager,

who will work closely with the Executive Director, and play a key role in the work for the organisation as whole.  This is a full-time, on-site position, based at Siyakwazi's Resource Centre, on the South Coast of KZN, near Port Edward. 

Siyakwazi is a grassroots organisation which was started in 2011, and has grown to a staff of 31. The position of Programmes Manager

is a new position. This person will work closely with the Executive Director as well as the five existing managers, to lead the implementation of all programmes and ensure quality of implementation at every level. 

Team management and capacity building are at the core of this role, and the ideal candidate will have deep experience here, and also, importantly, enjoy this aspect of their work.  You will provide leadership, mentorship, and support to programme staff, fieldworkers, and interns. The programmes Manager will also facilitate team reflection, training, and ongoing skills development. This is a job for a person who loves being in the field and interacting with people - on a daily basis you will be working with staff, fieldworkers, interns, families, and collaborating with local schools and clinics. A deep understanding of inclusion is also necessary for this role, so as to be able to ensure that inclusion is embedded at every level of service delivery, as well as ensuring that all programme activities are child-centred. 

Siyakwazi is currently scaling its programmes and training staff from other organisations to do inclusion work. Part of the role of the Programmes Manager will be curriculum development, training and facilitation. Someone with a background, or strong interest in, curriculum development, training and/or facilitation would be ideal for this role.

It is essential that the person in the role of Programmes Manager is an independent worker who is able to handle a complex workload without frequent oversight. As such, excellent time-management, organisational and coordination skills are extremely important for this role, and this person needs to be extremely reliable and accountable.

The ideal candidate for this role may have a background in therapy (occupational therapy, physiotherapy, or speech & language therapy) although this is not required, and people with other backgrounds might be well suited to this role. 

Managing project implementation is key to this role, and the person will be tasked with ensuring effective use of organisational resources (financial, material, and human). Another aspect of this role will be collaborating with the Executive Director on planning, budgeting and strategy. The Programmes Manager will also have regular responsibilities associated with monitoring and evaluation of programmes, and donor reporting. 

This is a full-time in-person position. This position is ideal for someone who lives on, or is willing to relocate to, the beautiful KZN South Coast. This position is
not

available remotely or partially remotely. This is an opportunity to be part of a passionate, values-driven organisation that is making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families. For the right person, there are opportunities for growth within the organisation, and we hope to find someone who will be on the team long term. 

Core Responsibilities of the Role:

• Manage programme implementation and ensure quality of programmes.
• Ensure all programme activities are child-centred, inclusive, and aligned with the rights of children with disabilities.
