The Volunteer’s Role

Benishangul-Gumuz (BSG) is one of Ethiopia’s emerging regional states with an estimated total population of nearly a million people. The Regional Health Bureau (RHB) is making every effort to provide integrated, effective, and equitable health services through the extensively expanding primary health care program.

Currently, there are 37 Health Centres and 398 Health Posts operating as primary health care units for the general community and few more are under construction. Nonetheless, limitation of skilled health workers, supplies, and management support has impeded the quality of services provided in most of these health facilities.

Pawe College of health science is the only health science college managed by the regional health bureau in addition to the federal university, Assosa University. This college has no Gender Advisor that helps to analyze gaps that hinder the institution to serve the community at scale.

The overall objective of the placement is to support and improve the English proficiency of college instructors, students and other administrative staff through in-service training which helps to improve the quality of education, so that students and instructors can fulfil their potential. Teachers often lack the facility with English to be able to effectively teach their pupils. So this placement will help them to meet the objectives for producing competent health professionals.

As a volunteer, you will:

  • Support the development of English language-focused Continuous Professional Development
  • Conduct training need assessments and capacity building sessions for teachers, students and administration staff
  • Strengthen links with other similar institutions, so that good practice and expertise can be shared
  • Conduct monitoring and evaluation, and give feedback regarding progress to the college

Essential Academic Qualifications:

Degree in English Language or related field & a TEFL or TESL teaching qualification

Essential Professional Background:

Minimum of 2 years teaching experience in an active learning environment or volunteering activities

Cuso International

Cuso International is a development organization that works to reduce poverty and inequality through the efforts of highly skilled volunteers, collaborative partnerships and compassionate donors.

In 1961, a group of Canadian university graduates had a vision of a more connected world. A world where the social constraints you are born into don’t dictate the entirety of your life. Where each human being has the opportunity to reach their full potential.These young people took a great leap of faith, rallied hundreds of other young graduates across this great nation and founded CUSO, Canadian University Students Overseas. Each young volunteer took their role as a Canadian “ambassador” very seriously as they filled skill gaps in developing countries as teachers, nurses and agriculturalists.Over the next few decades, as our partners became the educators, health care professionals and farmers, so evolved the role of the volunteers. Today, our volunteers are experienced professionals who focus on building skills and transferring knowledge to our partners across Africa, South East Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. And, our name Cuso International reflects this change.

OUR VISION

A world where all people are able to realize their potential, develop their skills and participate fully in society

OUR MISSION

Working in inclusive partnerships to eradicate poverty through equitable and sustainable development

OUR VALUES

Partnership: We believe in the power of people. We employ a people-centred approach to development and the challenge of overcoming poverty and inequality. We support our partners by allowing them to drive their own development. We recognize that we all have a stake in effective development, and we seek to build on each other’s capabilities.

Respect and Integrity: We value diversity. We recognize and care about the rights and dignity of others. We strive to live up to our commitments, to be fair and transparent in our work, and to act consistently in applying our principles.Accountability: We take responsibility for our actions and proactively demonstrate that we work with and on behalf of others. We perform consistently to standards and seek to achieve and inspire excellence. We are dedicated to continually drawing from our experience, sharing knowledge and applying it to improve our work.
