Job: Logistics and Administrative Assistant – Service provider to support Strategic Business Support Leadership Meeting 

Location: Bangkok, Thailand

Service period: 8^th October – 8^th November 2018

Closing Date: 7^th October 2018

 

Project context

In past years Oxfam business support functions (HR, Finance, Logistics etc.) have held separate meetings, with the first meeting running in parallel with some overlap in FY 2017/2018. This year there is a joint meeting taking place whereby HR, Finance and Security teams (approximately 60 participants) are coming together to hold a joint meeting in Bangkok on 29^th, 30^th & 31^st October 2018, with additional Safeguarding Focal Point training continuing 1^st & 2^nd November 2018.

 

The ambition for this joint investment is to enable technical business support functions to look more holistically at business system planning, monitoring and learning processes that exist in Oxfam, and to provide a space for a culture of mutual accountability and solutions focussed practices to develop.

 

Member of Finance teams, HR teams, Security Coordinators and Safeguarding and Security Focal Points will be joining from across Oxfam in Asia country programmes, with participants also coming from EA HQs.

 

At a global level the One MIS and Country Operating Planning cycles have created an opportunity for business support to look at plans and investments together, and hope that this meeting will enable a more joined up approach to financial, human and workforce planning and management in line with ambitions to develop a safeguarding culture and deliver on Oxfam’s 10 point plan.
