Would you like to work for HYT in Uganda?

Beautiful landscapes, sustainable and innovative construction, and above all working to transform people’s lives. Could you be the Haileybury Youth Trust’s (HYT) next Assistant Country Manager?

HYT has an exciting new position available that will suit Old Haileyburian (OH) graduates particularly well.

The award-winning charity is searching for a successor to OH Charlie Tebbutt, who has spent the past two years working as its Assistant Country Manager in Uganda.

The Trust trains young Ugandans to build affordable homes, schools, sanitation facilities and water tanks using a pioneering and sustainable brick made from compressed earth, which as well as helping to protect the environment is also transforming whole communities.

This is an exciting and unique opportunity for an OH to live in the ‘Pearl of Africa’ and help lead the charity in the next stage of its development.

Starting from summer 2018, the Assistant Country Manager post is full-time and salaried and would best suit a graduate with a degree in any subject who has an enthusiasm for the environment, people and Africa.
