Role overview

The British Council has worked with the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (CSC) for over 50 years and the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) to support CSFP delivery providing scholars and fellows with pre-departure briefings and post-Award stages of the scholarship cycle overseas. The CSC draws on our overseas networks to support these services and to develop new activities to support overall project objectives.

The services the British Council provides are defined in a log frame with targets and milestones. The CSFP Regional Manager retains oversight and overall accountability for service delivery but requires full time support to ensure that priority and represented countries in the region are able to deliver to a consistent level and report accurately and in a timely manner.

The purpose of the job is to ensure the consistent delivery of services to support the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan (CSFP) across the whole of South Asia. These services will include both scholars and fellows pre-departure services as well as new services to support post-award alumni activity, and monitoring and evaluation. This will involve managing/coordinating support in 4 priority countries: Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, as well as represented countries, Malaysia and Mauritius.
