£49,129 per annum
Fixed term contract, likely to be from summer 2019 to 2023.
Plan International UK is a global children’s charity. We work to give every child the same chance in life.
The Policy and Programmes Directorate supports our aims by ensuring that we deliver the highest quality policy and programmes. We constantly enhance programme quality and effectiveness, raise income from institutional donors (like the British Government), and drive change through setting and influencing policy agendas. Sitting within the Directorate, the Development Programmes Unit (DPU) supports Country Offices by helping them to design high quality programmes, and by raising the funds from institutional donors needed to implement them.
We are recruiting a Programme Manager to provide overall management oversight of a complex multimillion-pound institutional donor funded, complex Gender Based Violence (GBV) prevention and protection programme in Zimbabwe.
You will provide overall management of the programme, taking responsibility for achievement of targets and reporting to the donor in line with the project contract. You will work closely with any partner organisations and represent the programme at external meetings and will also provide targeted GBV technical support to the programme to ensure implementation of high-quality prevention and protection interventions.
You will have experience of managing large and complex programmes, preferably across several countries, in the GBV sector. You will also have experience of coordinating a large consortium grant from a major institutional donor and of providing effective financial oversight and evidence of value for money of a large budget. Knowledge of best practice in GBV prevention and protection programming, including gender sensitive and transformative approaches to tackling GBV is essential.
Please note that this position is currently contingent on funding being awarded. Further information will be provided at interview stage.
The deadline for applications is 9:00am on Friday 10 May 2019
Interviews will take place on Tuesday 14 May 2019 (via Skype if required)
