• Employment Law Knowledge: Maintain up-to-date knowledge of employment laws in one or more of the countries where ADD operates, ensuring compliance with local regulations and best practices.
• HR Trends and Best Practices: Stay informed about emerging trends in HR, including new practices in organizational culture, wellbeing, and HR technology, and suggest ways to incorporate these into ADD’s HR operations.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

To be successful in this role, you should have the following qualifications and characteristics:

• Experience: Significant experience managing generalist HR and administration, ideally within an NGO or charity environment.
