The Black Sash is an independent, non-governmental Human Rights organisation that has worked tirelessly for justice and equality in South Africa for more than 55 years. Since the end of Apartheid in 1994, the Black Sash has focussed on the promotion and protection of our hard-won freedoms, particularly in the areas of social and economic rights.

The mission of the Black Sash is to work toward a South Africa where:

• Human Rights are recognised in law and respected in practice;
• The government is accountable to ALL its people and attends to their basic needs in a participatory and dignified manner;
• The Constitution is upheld by all;
• Social and economic justice is recognised as fundamentally important;
• And ALL members of society take responsibility for reducing inequality and extreme poverty.

The Black Sash has recently undergone a restructuring process and an opportunity exists in this newly streamlined organisation for a seasoned human rights leader to take on the exciting and challenging position of Director.

The new Director will be based in the National Office in Cape Town and will lead and strategically position the Black Sash as a human rights organization in South Africa, mobilise and manage financial and human resources to ensure effectiveness and sustainability, account to donors on finances and programme delivery, and to the Board in such a way as to support good governance.

Candidates for this position must have qualifications at Masters level in a relevant field of Law or Humanities/Social Sciences and at least ten years NGO/development sector senior/executive management experience with considerable working experience in the field of Human Rights.
