 Vision for a Nation (VFAN) is a multi-award-winning UK charity. We are helping people to fully contribute socially and economically to their communities by ensuring they have access to basic eye care services. Over the last 5 years with the support of our founder, philanthropist James Chen, together with funding from DFID, USAID and UBS Optimus Foundation we have transformed eye care in Rwanda and in 2018 are starting up programmes in Ghana while also working with global corporations to vision screen their workforces. We will be harnessing the power of technology - by working with entrepreneurs, tech firms and innovators so that the challenge of poor vision can be addressed quickly and effectively.

 We need great people to help us on this journey and we're looking for an excellent, experienced Finance and Administrative Officer to join our team. We are looking for a highly motivated individual, a self-starter that loves working in development and is genuinely interested in ensuring all Ghanaians can access affordable, quality eye health services. We're looking for someone that is willing to develop with the organisation, has an entrepreneurial spirit and is adaptable to change within a growing organisation. You don't need to have a public health or eye care background to work with us. We need our people to be self-starters, innovators and able to get on and work with people from many cultures and backgrounds.
