About Us

Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.

Job Purpose

We are looking for a Development Financing Adviser to lead policy analysis and influencing strategies to increase the volume and impact of spending on children's education and other rights globally. This work will target governments, international institutions and the private sector on issues such as aid, investment, debt relief and tax justice.

 

The Covid crisis has unleashed economic turmoil across the world, hitting the poorest countries and families hardest. With these effects compounded by the unfolding climate crisis, there has never been a more important time to defend children's rights from spending cuts and unlock global funding to invest in children's futures.

This is an exciting time to be joining Save the Children, as we begin a new three-year strategic period with a new global campaign focus on ensuring a just recovery from the Covid and climate crises and making economies work for children's rights. This role will help shape and deliver the policy and advocacy for this global campaign.

The role will also give the successful candidate the opportunity to own professional relationships and grow their network. You will work with colleagues across our global movement and beyond, both on broad financing issues and on education financing specifically.  This will include addressing financing barriers to quality education and promoting the right to education for all. The role will sit within the Education Policy and Advocacy Team and work closely with other finance advisers in the organisation in the UK and elsewhere.

As a rights-based organisation, we are committed to anti-racism and actively oppose systemic oppression of any form. The role holder will visibly lead our commitment to celebrate diversity, challenge inequality, and build an inclusive environment for every one of our employees so we can better represent the children we protect.
