Success Guide
This is a consultancy, not a standard job, so your proposal needs to show how you would adapt Rise Up Together's Advocacy Guide for South African realities. If you have facilitation experience, especially with non profit leaders, highlight that clearly in your CV and proposal.
Applications close on 19 November 2026, and the work runs from January to June 2027, so plan your availability around those dates. A team of two with a lead facilitator and co facilitator is preferred, so if you have a trusted partner, consider applying together with clearly defined roles.
