CONTEXTE
Le projet RANO MAHARITRA est un projet de 5 ans financé par l’Agence Américaine pour le Développement International (USAID) qui a démarré depuis janvier 2024.
Le but du Projet est d’améliorer l'accès durable et équitable aux services d'eau, d'assainissement et d'hygiène (WASH) pour les ménages ruraux. En collaboration avec le gouvernement de Madagascar (GoM) et divers experts, le programme vise à surmonter les obstacles à l'égalité des sexes, à l'inclusion sociale, à la diversité, à l'équité et à l'accessibilité (DEIA) afin d'atteindre quatre objectifs clés :
- Composante 1 (C1) : Renforcer la gouvernance et la capacité d'accès aux services WASH.
- Composante 2 (C2) : Augmentation du soutien financier au secteur WASH.
- Composante 3 (C3) : Amélioration de l'offre de produits et services WASH.
- Composante 4 (C4) : Stimuler la demande de produits et de services WASH.
RANO MAHARITRA promeut une approche systémique pour promouvoir des services WASH durables et gérés localement, en mettant l'accent sur le GESI, le DEIA et la localisation afin d'autonomiser les communautés, en particulier les femmes et les jeunes.
Le projet, dirigé par CARE International en consortium avec ses partenaires WaterAid, IDE, Miarakap, BushProof et Sandandrano, encourage les partenariats avec les gouvernements, les institutions, les organisations de la société civile, les communautés, les secteurs privés et les bénéficiaires.
Le projet est mis en œuvre dans dix districts de sept régions de Madagascar : Atsimo-Atsinanana, Anosy, Androy, Betsiboka, Fitovinany, Sofia, et Vatovavy.

The Creative Producer will be a key role in developing, culminating and hosting our week-long interactive public arts experience ‘Ruby Tales – Celebrating 40 Years of METRO’ for our 40th anniversary. You will help organise and facilitate a series of creative workshops for our supporters and service users, as well as curating and programming a final interactive experience which will run for one week.
Programme
METRO is an equality, diversity and inclusion services charity that runs health, community and youth services across London and the south east. We started in 1984 as the Greenwich Lesbian and Gay Centre. Today METRO supports anyone experiencing issues around sexuality, gender, equality, diversity and identity across five areas: Youth, Mental health & wellbeing, Sexual health, HIV, and Community.
This year is our 40th – ruby – anniversary. We’re taking the opportunity to increase our fundraising, and tell people about our charity, our history, the work that we do and the many stories that show our work, our impact, and our people.
We plan run 40 creative workshops for staff and service users to tell our stories, and create assets which can be shared with a wider public to tell the stories of METRO. Half of these will be done ‘in house’ with existing staff, and half will be organised by the Creative Producer, using outside facilitators of their choosing. These will culminate in an interactive exhibition, to be shown in February 2025.
Role
Working alongside colleagues in the Communications Policy and Research (CPR) team, the Creative Producer will have a lead role in shaping this programme of events. They will act as lead contact for our external guest workshop facilitators, making budget decisions and communicating relevant details to ensure our additional 20 workshops run smoothly, safely and successfully.
The Creative Producer will collate creations from our 40 workshop sessions to help design and install an engaging, interactive exhibition that will run for one week in November 2024. You will play a key role in facilitating a launch event with an invited audience of partners, charities, stakeholders, councillors and VIPs.

About the Service User Network (SUN)
The SUN is an open access model of community-based facilitated group peer support for people experiencing complex emotional needs associated with complex trauma and/or a diagnosis of ‘personality disorder’. The SUN aims to help people develop effective ways of coping, reduce emergencies and improve access to appropriate services.
Those accessing the SUN may or may not have a formal diagnosis of personality disorder. Group members will have experienced longstanding emotional difficulties, isolation and may demonstrate patterns of behaviour that may not be helpful in the longer term.
About the Role
Fundamental to creating empowerment and engagement in the SUN Project is the therapeutic community principle, that the effectiveness of the service depends upon engaging group members in the task of running, delivery, development and evaluation of the service. The utilisation of SUN members’ own resources and expertise is integral to the SUN model of peer support.
SUN Facilitators will have their own lived experience of complex emotional needs associated with a diagnosis of ‘personality disorder’ and will be able to demonstrate their recovery journey. They will work closely with mental health practitioners from ELFT (East London NHS Foundation Trust) to deliver regular Service User Network (SUN) groups in different community-based locations in Bedford, Central Bedfordshire or Luton. Full training in the SUN model, and weekly supervision by a Psychotherapist / Psychologist, will be provided for all team members.
Facilitators will work to develop and support the therapeutic community principle of the SUN model and the effectiveness of the service through engaging group members in the task of running, delivery, development, and evaluation of the service. The utilisation of SUN members’ own resources and expertise is integral to the model of peer support upon which the SUN groups are based.
SUN facilitators will have regular supervision and support in this role along with appropriate training.
