The role is responsible for devising and delivering training, capacity building, and line managing interns and volunteers and taking a role in developing the overall focus of Interights’ thematic work. The role is also responsible for monitoring a budget and expenditure and approving expenditure within budget, and taking an active role in the annual planning and budgeting processes.
