iKapture Centre for Development Job Openings — Historical Reference for Programs & Partnerships Lead and Admin & Office Assistant, Calabar

iKapture Centre for Development Job Openings — Historical Reference for Calabar Roles

This recruitment is closed. There is no confirmed new paid hiring round to apply to. This page records the two iKapture Centre for Development roles that were advertised for Calabar: Programs & Partnerships Lead and Admin & Office Assistant. The archived notice gave both roles a final application date of December 27, 2025. That date remains in the metadata because it is the real closing date for the documented round; it is not a current invitation to submit an application.

The official iKapture website was checked as the primary source for the organisation and its current public programme information. It identifies iKapture Centre for Development as a Nigerian nonprofit youth organisation, lists its work in education, leadership, entrepreneurship, employability, and digital skills, and gives Calabar, Cross River State as its base. Its main navigation contains programmes, blog and news, donations, contact information, and a Global Opportunities link, but no careers, jobs, or vacancies section. No successor to the two paid roles appears on the official site. The official site does publish a separate volunteer call, which is unpaid and should not be confused with the closed employment recruitment.

Status at a glance

The date in the table is retained from the archived job notice reached through iKapture’s public Global Opportunities route. The organisation’s own website does not currently reproduce the vacancy notice, but its site directs visitors seeking opportunities to Opportunity Desk, where the notice recorded the two titles, the Calabar location, the application process, and the December 27, 2025 closing date. That distinction matters: the official iKapture site is the authority for the organisation’s current public status, while the archived notice is the record of what the closed recruitment asked from applicants.

What the official site says now

iKapture’s current public pages describe an organisation that remains active in youth education and development. The home page presents academic tutorials, enterprise development, YouthLEAD, and links to programmes and global opportunities. The About Us and Who We Are pages describe work with secondary and post-secondary students, graduates, and young people in Nigeria. The team page names programme leadership, but it does not announce that the Programs & Partnerships Lead or Admin & Office Assistant vacancies are open.

The site’s current navigation is also useful negative evidence. It includes Home, About Us, Programs, YLEAD Fellowship, 25 Under 25, Blog and News, Donate, and Contact Us. It does not include a jobs page or a recruitment portal. The official website’s recent news area includes a report on the Technovation Girls launch workshop in Calabar, dated December 12, 2025, and a report on the 2025 Technovation South-South Nigeria Regional Pitch Event, dated May 27, 2025. Those posts show continuing programme activity, not a new staff recruitment cycle.

The official volunteer page is the one current people-focused call found on the site. It invites volunteers for programme management, graphic design, video editing, content creation, and marketing. It describes skill development, networking, practical contribution, flexible roles, and a certificate of recognition. It asks for basic knowledge or interest in the chosen role, a commitment to teamwork, and a willingness to dedicate time. It does not present the volunteer work as paid employment, and it does not reopen the two archived jobs.

The archived Programs & Partnerships Lead role

The Lead role was described as a full-time Calabar position, with the notice also allowing a flexible schedule of about 30 hours per week. Its central responsibility was to coordinate the organisation’s youth programmes and partnerships rather than to perform a narrow administrative function.

The archived responsibilities included programme design, planning, and monitoring; supervision of programme staff and volunteers; relationship management with schools, mentors, partners, and other stakeholders; representation at events, meetings, and donor engagements; and support for grant writing, reporting, and impact storytelling. The notice named Technovation Girls, the Digital Skill-Up Bootcamp, and the Digital & Leadership Academy as programme areas connected to the role.

The archived minimum experience requirement was two years in programme management or youth development. The notice also asked for leadership, writing, and coordination ability, plus familiarity with everyday digital tools such as Google Drive, Canva, and Excel. Applicants were expected to be based in Calabar or nearby. Female candidates were strongly encouraged to apply. These details are preserved to explain the historical role; they are not current requirements for a live vacancy.

For someone assessing a comparable future role, the practical lesson is that iKapture was looking for a person who could connect delivery and relationships. A strong candidate would need to explain how they have planned activities, kept partners informed, supported volunteers, tracked progress, and turned programme work into a clear report. A generic statement about caring about young people would not answer the operational part of the role. The archived description points to coordination, communication, and follow-through as the useful evidence.

The archived Admin & Office Assistant role

The Admin & Office Assistant was a part-time Calabar role with a stated commitment of about 10–15 hours per week. Its purpose was to keep routine office and programme logistics moving: records, materials, scheduling, and the small follow-ups that can otherwise interrupt delivery work.

The archived responsibilities covered inventory, printing, filing, meeting logistics, transport reimbursements, programme materials, certificates, basic records, data entry, scheduling, and follow-up with the Programs team. The notice described the role as suitable for an organised and reliable person with basic computer skills and comfort using Google Docs, WhatsApp, and email. Previous administrative or volunteer experience was listed as an advantage, not as a strict minimum requirement. The applicant also needed to be located in Calabar.

The difference between the two archived roles is important. The Lead position centred on programme ownership, partnerships, supervision, and reporting. The Assistant position centred on dependable execution of office and activity logistics. A future announcement may use different titles or combine these duties, so readers should not assume that either old title will return unchanged. The official site has not announced a successor post, a revised workload, a changed location rule, or a new compensation package.

Amount, benefits, and employment terms

No salary figure was published for either archived role. The available notice did not establish a stipend, transport allowance, health benefit, paid leave, pension contribution, contract length, or other employment benefit. It also did not state whether the Lead role was a permanent position, a fixed-term contract, or a project-funded appointment. Those omissions should remain omissions. There is no responsible basis for filling them with an estimate based on Nigerian nonprofit salaries or on another employer’s advert.

The volunteer call on iKapture’s official site mentions experience, networking, contribution, flexibility, and a certificate of recognition. Those are volunteer benefits, not evidence that the closed paid roles were unpaid, nor evidence that a future job would carry the same terms. Readers should keep the categories separate: a volunteer opportunity may be useful for experience, but it is not a substitute for a salaried vacancy when income is the reason for applying.

Application steps: what applied then and what applies now

The archived recruitment used one shared online form for both roles. Applicants were directed to select or describe the role they wanted, provide the requested information, and submit by December 27, 2025. The notice said that only shortlisted candidates would be contacted for an interview. Because the recruitment is closed and the official website no longer presents it as an open vacancy, there is no current application step for either role.

Do not send a CV to the old job link and assume it will enter a live hiring process. Do not pay an intermediary to restore the application, reserve an interview, or guarantee selection. If an old copy of the notice still displays an Apply button, treat that button as an archive artefact unless it leads from a newly published iKapture announcement and the organisation confirms that the role is open.

If you want to pursue the current volunteer route, use the volunteer page linked from iKapture’s official website and read its own form before preparing materials. The official page directs interested people to an application form and provides an email address for enquiries. Choose a volunteer area that matches your skills, state the time you can actually give, and describe one or two concrete ways you could support programme work. Do not describe volunteer participation as paid employment, and confirm the expected schedule and responsibilities before committing.

If your goal is paid work, the sensible next step is monitoring rather than submitting to the old form. Check iKapture’s official home page, Blog and News section, and published contact route for a new announcement. A real replacement notice should identify the role, location, compensation or clearly state that it is unpaid, eligibility, application route, and a new closing date. Until those details appear in an official announcement, this page should remain a historical reference.

What is confirmed and what is not

Confirmed: iKapture Centre for Development is the organisation behind the official website; its public work is focused on youth education and development; the archived recruitment covered a Programs & Partnerships Lead and an Admin & Office Assistant in Calabar; the archived deadline was December 27, 2025; the Lead notice described programme, partnership, supervision, and reporting duties; the Assistant notice described part-time administrative and logistics duties; the archived notice did not publish compensation; and the official site currently shows volunteer recruitment but no replacement paid hiring round.

Not confirmed: whether either archived role was filled, whether a later internal hire occurred, whether iKapture intends to repeat the recruitment, whether a future role will use either title, and what salary or benefits a future job might offer. No new deadline is supplied here because none was found on the official site. The historical date is retained only to identify the closed cycle.

The short version: the December 27, 2025 iKapture recruitment has ended, and no replacement paid cycle has been announced. Keep this page for the historical role details, but do not treat it as an open job listing. The official website’s volunteer call is a separate, unpaid route for people who want to contribute, while anyone seeking paid employment should wait for a new announcement from iKapture and verify its details before applying.
