The Restitution Foundation Current Available Job Opportunity

The Restitution Foundation began around 20 years ago to mobilise and motivate individuals to embark on journeys of restitution that tackle race-based privilege and result in a just and hopeful society. During this time, they have tried many strategies under the leadership of a gifted and creative director who has now moved on to a new challenge.

After a re-envisioning process they are, for the next five years, focussing our effort on two constituencies: young people and business people in order to build a restitution movement. Doing more with less, they are committed to experiential education, action- oriented dialogue, and empowering support aimed at achieving a just and inclusive country.

Job Title: Mobiliser-in-Chief
Location: Cape Town

The purpose of this position is to find an independent, driven and passionate young person to shape and lead experiential learning, action-riented dialogue, and empowering support projects that guide young people and business professionals to be part of social restitution in South Africa.

Responsibilities:

• Gather together the right people and resources (including financial support) to achieve the Foundation’s aims,
• Design strategic activities and processes to help us meet our target audience,
• Communicate effectively in order to ensure support for the movement and increase its impact in our country.

What they offer:

• Subject matter experts as board members
• A plethora of resources to draw on and the freedom to design new materials
• A network of incredible people and partners to cultivate and inspire
• A salary based on your qualifications and experience within the NGO environment and with encouragement to study further, reflect and take occasional sabbaticals.
