Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e.V. is a German Christian non-governmental organisation, dedicated to excellence in the field of first aid, ambulance service, social service programmes and other projects in the medical and social field.

The Federal Headquarters are based in Berlin, Germany. Johanniter International Assistance is the operational unit for humanitarian aid, development co-operation and emergency relief, implementing and supporting mostly health projects worldwide.

Overall job purpose:

The Head of Office is responsible for the planning, management and development of all Johanniter projects in Uganda and for ensuring that all activities are within the strategic framework of Johanniter.

The Head of Office is reporting directly to HQ in Berlin. Since Johanniter International Assistance has not yet started up operations in Uganda, one important task will be to set up the legal framework for the organization being operative as an INGO in Uganda and establish a working environment.

Furthermore the Head of Office will seek for potential local partner organisations, evaluate/assess their capacities to carry out humanitarian projects and set the grounds for eventually entering partnerships.

In addition, the Head of Office will be responsible for security management, support tasks (finance, HR, logistics, and administration) and act as the contact person for all stakeholders in Uganda.
