Honduran Co-director of the Iguana Station ­ Position Description

The Honduran Co-director of the Iguana Station is a volunteer position with
great responsibility and challenge. The co-director receives a monthly
allowance of 333 $. Living at the Iguana Station and some smaller things
are free as well.

The co-director works under the supervision of the director and has to
collaborate closely with him. Especially, he has to keep the director
informed about ongoing activities and status of work. To accomplish that,
the co-director will inform the director about any news, information,
correspondence of importance for our project. They will both try to
establish and keep an open, frank and positive relationship needed for
productive cooperation. Communication partners are also the initiator of
the project and herpetologist Gunther Köhler as well as the project manager
Sven Zörner in Germany.

The co-director is the Honduran representative of the Iguana Station.
Although he works under the supervision of the director of the Iguana
Station, he has his own clearly defined tasks and responsibilities. These
are:

1. Embedding the Iguana Station in the political and social environment on
Utila and in Honduras.

The co-director should transport the goals, background information and
conservation philosophy of the “Utila Iguana Conservation Project” into the
Utilian and Honduran communities (Note: the artificial distinction between
Utila and Honduras is used here to distinguish between the communities on
Utila and on the Honduran mainland).

To achieve this goal, the co-director has to participate in community
meetings, keep close contact and communication to the mayor of Utila and to
those organisations that are important for our work on Utila, including
BICA, PMAIP, AFE-COHDEFOR and various NGO’s.

Write articles in Spanish about our project and work for Honduran
newspapers and journals.

Assist the director in meetings that can benefit from the presence of the
co-director as a Honduran representative of the Iguana Station and / or as
a translator.

Serve as an advisor to the director in any cultural, social or political
issues.

2. Preparing and writing of proposals, contracts and applications.

The co-director will spend a significant amount of his time working out
proposals, contracts and other paperwork needed for any part of the
project. This will be done in close cooperation and communication with the
director. Currently, high priority is given to start with a NGO.

3. Support of the director in everyday matters of the Iguana Station.

Whenever needed, the co-director will participate in any task that is
needed to be done in the framework of the usual work of the Iguana Station,
including iguana feeding, gardening, carpenter work, and advising
volunteers. However, it should be made clear that he should not spend the
majority of his time for such everyday matters because he should be able to
focus on the tasks as listed above.

Please send application with CV in English to Station@...
