Role overview
ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT/TEAM
British Council Indonesia is a Tier one priority country in the East Asia region with a long history and wide scope of activity. A dynamic operation with around 80 staff including our Teaching Centre in Jakarta. The British Council’s programme activity focuses on three core areas of work: Education and Society; Arts and English & Examinations.
British Council Indonesia works in higher educations will continue to strengthen the educational relationship between UK and Indonesia by growing active and sustainable links. Our projects are designed to support education development and reform in Indonesia and to build a preference for UK, both as a study destination and for institutional partnerships. Such programmes build greater international collaboration to address global challenges as well as creating new and extend existing trade opportunities. With 60% of Indonesia’s population being under 29, providing a clear future for young people is key to Indonesian long-term security. We also support programmes to encourage better working liaison between higher education and industry and continue to strengthen our work with Alumni Networks throughout Indonesia as well as current Indonesian students in the UK, through the Indonesian Student Association UK network.
WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING AND WHY
The Programme Officer is responsible for delivering administration support directly to the Programme team. You will provide the necessary day-to-day support required for the successful implementation and monitoring of programme activity and achievement of client and customer satisfaction in a dynamic environment. You will also secure quality assurance for programmes through maintaining British Council standards in all processes.
Programmes are to be delivered in line with the British Council’s cultural relations mission to improve connections and relationships between the Indonesian and British arts sectors and reflect British Council’s cultural relations mission.
WHAT IS INTERESTING ABOUT IT
The British Council has recently finalised UK/ID, a three-year campaign that seeks to change relationships between UK and Indonesia, two hugely creative countries that previously see very little cultural exchange between them but have a vast amount to gain from getting to know each other. Through this programme we had seen more than 250 UK and Indonesian arts organisations connected, 72 artists take part in international residencies, 1,900 cultural professionals engaged, over 90 collaborative new works of art produced, and more than 500,000 audience members reached.
As we move and transition into internationalising the Cultural Sector, a new programme whereby we seek to maintain the relationships built throughout the UK/ID season, and develop projects that can highlight its legacy, focusing on several key themes that were significant throughout the campaign: arts and disability, music and creative technology, and connections with Liverpool.
At the same time, we are taking part in the new global programme, Developing Inclusive and Creative Economies (DICE), as it focuses on supporting interventions design specifically to empower women and girls, foster youth employability, support people with disabilities and other marginalised groups; as well as the regional Crafting Futures programme, which supports the future of craft around the globe through strengthening economic, social, and cultural development through learning and access.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for someone with one to two years of relevant work experience in project or programme management in the NGO or development sector or enterprise. You need to demonstrate knowledge and experience of finance and administrative work. Good interpersonal skills along with excellent written and verbal communications are also required for this role. An undergraduate degree along with proficiency in both Indonesia and English is essential.
