Pretoria, South Africa Foreign & Commonwealth Office Full time

Job Description (Roles and Responsibilities)

**Main purpose of job**:
Many countries, including middle-income countries still face considerable challenges such as youth unemployment, climate change, high and persistent inequality (including gender inequality) and digital exclusion, which can lower long-term growth prospects.
- Education and Skills _

Roughly 8 out of 10 children can’t read for meaning by Grade 4. Higher Education excludes many and the cost of tertiary education in much of sub-Saharan Africa exceeds 60% of average incomes. The UK government is leading and mobilising global commitment and investment in education, including for marginalised girls; and working to deliver a joined-up UK international education offer. Our two bold global targets - 40 million more girls learning, and 20 million more able to read by age 10. Within the British High Commission in South Africa, our top priorities in supporting education are through support for Higher Education, Technical, Vocational Education and Training, skills development and youth employment.

Skills development and youth employment in particular, are key objectives of South Africa’s National Development Plan, top of the President’s agenda and are consistently woven into the fabric of policies across the government. Addressing the skills shortage is widely regarded as a key ingredient to reducing endemic poverty, which disproportionately affects women and young people from low income backgrounds in South Africa.
- _Chevening Scholarship_

Chevening is the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office’s flagship global scholarship programme. Celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2023/2024, Chevening identifies future leaders and key influencers across 160 countries and territories, providing them with an opportunity to study a postgraduate degree in the UK. Chevening has a 55,000 strong global alumni network.

Since Chevening’s inception in 1983, over 880 South Africans have had the opportunity to participate in this program. Our alumni continue to contribute to South Africa’s development in different capacities. The incumbent will work with a dedicated team at the High Commission in Pretoria to deliver the Chevening Scholarship Scheme.

We run a flagship Chevening scholarship programme, offering ~50 scholarships in South Africa to fully fund graduate studies in the UK. The Chevening Scholarship scheme enables students in South Africa with leadership qualities to undertake postgraduate study or courses in universities in the United Kingdom.

The post holder will support the administration of the Chevening Scholarship in South Africa reporting to the Chevening officer.

**Roles and responsibilities**:

- Support delivery of Chevening media, communications and outreach events including University fairs, education exhibitions and road shows

- Update and maintain the Chevening alumni database for South Africa, Lesotho and Eswatini
- Support the organisation of alumni outreach events
