Current Job Openings at Equal Education

Job: Parliament is democracy’s principal oversight mechanism. EE needs to monitor and report on committees, and bills. We need to engage with MPs, arrange site-visits and build relationships. Qualifications: A law degree or strong university qualification. Outstanding writing, comprehension, networking and relationship-building skills. Deep commitment to equality and human rights. 

 

Job: A significant number of EE members from Khayelitsha and elsewhere are now studying in tertiary institutions, whilst maintaining a busy commitment to leading EE youth groups and activism. The job involves individual academic tutoring to these members, sourcing other tutors and mentors for them, providing support, and facilitating their on-going involvement in their communities. Qualifications:  A university degree. Excellent writing, organizational and people skills. Teaching or tutoring experience is preferable. Since most of the students are at UCT we’d prefer someone (not essential) who went to UCT, and who understands the challenges faced by township students.  

 

Job: The Operations Manager, Michelle Adler, needs an assistant for a host of financial and HR tasks, including preparing documents, scheduling, filing, minute taking, report writing, and communication. Qualifications:  Excellent reading, writing and mathematical skills. The applicant must have a strong command of Microsoft Excel (& preferably knowledge of Pastel). An ideal job for a new BCom graduate.
