Health promotion and non-communicable disease prevention in schools is a project of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).

This goal will be achieved through three separated but interlinked outcomes: 1. School children have the necessary skills and knowledge to prevent behavioural risk factors for NCDs. 2. Teachers and school directors promote healthy behaviour and are engaged in setting an enabling framework in class and in school as an institution. 3. Central and local governments are promoting health in an inter-sectoral approach based on evidence, new standards and guidelines.

• Lust und Bereitschaft, Entwicklungszusammenarbeit neu zu denken (von der Wohltätigkeit zur Solidarität)
• persönlich glaubwürdigem Eintreten für die sozial-ökologische Transformation und Bereitschaft, die plan:g-Betriebsvereinbarung mitzutragen (keine Flüge in Europa, kein Fleisch, wo immer möglich fair-trade, kein Betriebsparkplatz, stattdessen viel Freiheit und Natur pur)

• bitte geben Sie drei persönliche Referenzen an (E-Mail), die Sie vorzugsweise aus einen Arbeits- oder Kampagnenkontext kennen und die wir per Cc an Sie kontaktieren dürfen
• bitte geben Sie eine Telefonnummer an, unter der Sie gut erreichbar sind 

Wieso ist uns dieses Vorgehen wichtig?
Wir suchen Wissensarbeiter*innen mit Lust an Erkenntnis und Veränderung. Dafür ist eine sehr selbständige Arbeitsweise in unserem sehr kleinen Team wichtig. Steve Jobs hat ein einmal gesagt, es mache keinen Sinn, kluge Leute einzustellen und ihnen zu dann sagen, was zu tun ist. („Wir stellen kluge Leute ein, damit sie uns sagen können, was zu tun ist.“) Wir nutzen zwar keine Apple-Geräte, sondern fairphones. Aber auch wir haben die Erfahrung gemacht, dass die Schnittstellen der Kommunikation sehr klar geregelt sein müssen, um im Team gut und erfolgreich zusammenzuarbeiten.

Wir freuen uns auf Sie. Bitte sehen Sie von Rückfragen ab. Wir schicken Ihnen zunächst eine Eingangsbestätigung. Wir melden uns zeitnah nach Sichtung der Bewerbungen.
