About StrongMinds Zambia
StrongMinds (www.strongminds.org) Zambia (SMZ) is a fast growing and dynamic social enterprise, committed to improving the Mental Health of Women in Africa by providing life-changing mental health services to impoverished African women. StrongMinds was formed in 2013 with a mission to improve the mental health of women and girls in Africa.
Depression is one of the leading causes of disability in sub-Saharan Africa, debilitating women at twice the rate of men. Conservative estimates indicate 66 million women are suffering from depression in Africa and the World Health Organization reports that 85% of these women have no access to treatment. Our ambitious goal is to provide treatment to at least 300,000 women and girls suffering with depression in the next three years.
Following 5 successful years in Uganda, StrongMinds established its operations in Zambia in 2019, and in 2022 we will treat over 20,000 through a simple, evidence-based and cost-efficient model of group talk therapy, based on group interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT-G). StrongMinds recognizes that scale will only be achieved by prioritizing the integration of its proven group interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT-G) model through partnerships. We look to do this both within Government structures such as the Ministry of Health and through medium and large international non-governmental organizations (INGOs).
Job Purpose and Context of Role
StrongMinds Zambia has grown from a small team of just 10 staff in 2019, to ending 2022 with a staff team of over 40 and 200 volunteers driving work on the ground. With aggressive expansion expected in 2023 and beyond, these numbers are anticipated to double, and with that, SMZ is looking to appoint its first HR Manager to drive the HR function and ensure that SMZ is an employer of choice for all its staff and volunteers involved in the organization.
The HR Manager will be expected to take responsibility of the Human Resource Function by developing, reviewing and implementation of strategies, policies and procedures for attraction, development and retention of talent that supports achievement of SMZ strategic goals and objectives. The job holder will be expected to provide leadership and direction in conjunction with the Country Director on all HR issues whilst balancing with the need to deliver effective day to day administrative people services. The HR Manager sits on the Leadership Team of SMZ and is expected to be an active and collaborative colleague, providing technical leadership on all matters relating to HR, and contributing to the overall strategic direction of SMZ.
