Duration: PART-TIME I 6 MONTHS  

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?  

As the Transitional Manager, you will work closely with the BAF Nepal and the BAF Netherlands to assist the Foundation with its transition into the new phase. Legally you will be reporting to  the Chairman of BAF Nepal but in practice you will be reporting to the Chairmen of both Boards.  We will provide you with all the support you need, and we will keep periodical update meetings  to ensure that we are all aligned and working towards our shared goals. While your  responsibilities will include the following tasks, they may not be limited to them.  

Implementing recommendations Organizational Audit 

The Foundation recently conducted an Organizational Audit which identified areas for  improvement in our Foundation's structure and processes. The audit resulted in a report with  recommendations that included the installation of a Pokhara-based Board, hiring a Manager, designing a clear strategy, and developing (finance) processes. As the Transitional Manager, you  will play a crucial role in the implementation of these recommendations. You will be in the lead  of this process and will work closely with the Board members, who will provide support where  needed. In addition to implementing the recommendations, you will also be responsible for  drafting new policies where needed, ensuring that we have clear processes in place to achieve  our goals.  

Key deliverables:  

• Coordination of the implementation of the recommendations of the Organizational Audit.  

Facilitate the process of a new Pokhara based Board  

It is in the interest of the BAF Nepal to have a board based in Pokhara as it will allow for easier  oversight of the children's home and community-based center in the area. The Transitional  Manager can advise on the best way to achieve this, considering factors such as the term of the  current Board members, the General Assembly Meeting, availability of suitable candidates and  the Foundation's capacity for a smooth transition. Additionally, the Transitional Manager will be  responsible for drafting job descriptions for board members, including specific skills such as  experience in working with children and counseling, fundraising, networking, and finance. The  transitional manager will be responsible for finding suitable candidates and organizing their  interviews. The selection process will be based solely on the candidates' experience and  expertise, with no consideration given to their religion. The transitional manager will take the  lead in ensuring that the new board is set up in a way that maximizes the Foundation's impact  and supports the needs of the children we serve. 

Key deliverables:  

• Advice on the best way to establish a new board based in Pokhara, including a phased  transition plan and identification of suitable candidates
• Drafting job descriptions for board members, with specific skills such as experience in working  with children and counseling, fundraising, networking, and finance
• Identifying and recruiting suitable candidates for the board, based on their expertise and  experience, and organizing interviews
• Ensuring that the selection process is fair and impartial, with no consideration given to  candidates' religion.  
• Taking the lead in setting up the new board to maximize the Foundation's impact and support  the needs of the children we serve
• Draft BAF Nepal Board Manual

Coordinate Strategy Committee  

As we enter a new and important chapter for the foundation, it is essential to define a clear  strategy for the next 5 years. To achieve this, we have already defined the Terms of Reference (ToR) for a Strategy Committee (see attachment), which will be responsible for developing the  strategy. However, we put the Committee on hold to await the recommendations of the  Organizational Audit. The transitional manager will revise the ToR if necessary, install the Strategy  Committee, and guide its work. This will involve convening meetings, facilitating discussions,  ensuring progress is made towards agreed-upon goals, and drafting a budget where needed. We  believe that a well-coordinated and focused strategy committee will help us achieve our goals  and improve the lives of the children we serve.  

Key deliverables:  

• Revising the Terms of Reference (ToR) for the Strategy Committee if necessary. 
• Setting up and installing the Strategy Committee.  
• Guiding and coordinating its work.  
• Facilitating meetings/workshops and discussions.  
• Ensuring progress is made towards the agreed-upon goals, and drafting a budget where  needed.  

Assist in the recruitment process for a new Foundation Manager.  

We are looking for a Manager who can run the CBC and at the same time be responsible for the  children's home. We realize that it might not be possible to find all the required skills in one  person, and in such cases, the Board members can assist in teaching certain skills if needed, for  example, fundraising. However, it is important that the Manager has a pedagogical background, management experience, financial/administration experience, fundraising experience, is a good  networker and always looks for collaborations.  

Key deliverables:  

• Writing a detailed job description for the Manager position that outlines the necessary skills (e.g. pedagogical, management, finance/admin, fundraising, networking), experience, and  qualifications required for the role.  
• Identifying potential candidates who possess the required skills and experience for the  position
• Organizing interviews and selection processes to hire a suitable Manager who can effectively  manage the CBC and children's home.  
• Providing support and training to the Manager as needed to ensure they are equipped  to effectively manage the CBC and children's home. 
• Developing a plan to ensure that the Manager has the necessary resources and  support to effectively fundraise, network, and collaborate with others to achieve the  Foundation's goals. 

TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT  

• The position offers a 6-month tenure with the possibility of extension
• A market-conform salary based on experience and qualifications
• A potential future role within the Foundation. (E.g. Board member or Manager)
