Education Adviser
£43,722 per annum
Three year fixed term contract
Plan International UK is an independent development and humanitarian charity that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it’s girls who are most affected. Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.
We are recruiting an Education Adviser to provide technical and thought leadership on education to all Plan departments, particularly in relation to the design and development of new fundraising proposals to help build our Education programme portfolio, primarily focussing on adolescent girls. You will help develop the technical skills of Programme Officers and others in Plan to ensure quality delivery of Education programming, and that current good practice and innovative approaches are reflected in all stages of project cycle management. You will also develop effective monitoring and evaluation processes that capture the outcomes and impact of our education work. Some overseas travel is envisaged, approximately three trips per year.
This is a great opportunity for a development professional with in-depth knowledge and experience of education and gender equality programming to make a significant contribution to this growing body of work within Plan International UK. Our ideal candidate will have significant experience of designing or providing technical advice to Education programmes in developing countries, ideally with a focus on children, adolescent girls and youth and academic research. You will have previously supported programme implementation primarily through advising, coaching and influencing, rather than direct line-management. Experience of having lived and worked in developing countries, and working closely with local partners or country office staff would be additional bonuses.
We will need all applications by 9:00am on Wednesday 19 October 2016. Interviews will be held during week commencing 31 October.
