VACANCY
• Tonga Finance and Admin Assistant – Balance of Power
PROGRAM BACKGROUND
Balance of Power (BOP, the Program) is a Pacific-led initiative, supported by the Australian Government, focused on enabling women and men in the Pacific to improve the political, social and economic opportunities for women and girls.
The program goal is that “women are increasingly culturally, socially and politically accepted, and act, as legitimate political leaders and decision makers across the Pacific region.” Balance of Power works intensively in three countries (Vanuatu, Fiji and Tonga), with some elements to be implemented across the region.
Balance of Power’s approaches and strategies are tailored to each country context. It is taking new, innovative approaches to providing pathways to change around deeply entrenched social norms, thinking and working politically with diverse stakeholders in the Women in Politics sector to maximise cohesion and coordination of effort.
BOP is working with key power-holders in Vanuatu, Tonga, and Fiji, and within regional peak bodies, to shift negative perceptions around the value and legitimacy of women’s leadership. BOP’s key partners include the media and high-status advocates within government, churches, and traditional and chiefly structures. BOP supports these societal influencers to use their voice and networks to raise the profile of women and their role in inclusive national development.
THE ROLE
The Tonga Finance & Admin Assistant is responsible for supporting the administration of the country program office at the Tonga country level. This position sits within the Balance of Power office in Nuku’alofa, working alongside the Tonga Program Support Officer and under the supervision of the Tonga Country Manager.
Key responsibilities of the role will include:
- Managing day-to-day project expenditure in Tonga, including petty cash and payment of invoices
- Supporting the Tonga based team with procurement of goods and services with vendors
- Coordinating logistics for any Tonga activity events (trainings/workshops/launches)
- Providing general secretariat support for any Tonga meetings
- Maintaining accurate and up-to-date electronic and manual filing systems for all records, including emails
