Street Child UK are searching for an impressive professional, preferably with a strong education background, to play a key leadership role in developing our growing portfolio in Sierra Leone, and also Liberia - two high-priority countries for the charity. 

1.The role

Street Child UK is a global, child-focussed INGO operating in fifteen countries in Africa and South Asia. In Sierra Leone and Liberia, the very first countries the charity began working in, we principally deliver change through long-standing partnerships with our two 'federal partners' - Street Child of Sierra Leone (SCoSL) and Street Child of Liberia (SCoL). Our high-impact projects chase gains in education access and outcomes for the most marginalised children - through signature integrated education, child protection and livelihoods initiatives.

The crux of this role is the provision of excellent technical, delivery and representative support to these two key national partners, SCoSL and SCoL - including resource-mobilisation and capacity development. 

Additionally, and importantly, this role-holder will be directly accountable for the excellent management and delivery of all Street Child UK-contracted projects in Sierra Leone and Liberia (presently c.$3m p/annum; growing) - reporting to Street Child Senior Leadership and/or donors directly. 

The role is based in, and is expected to primarily focus on, Sierra Leone - with travel to Liberia as required (estimated 20%). 

2. Key relationships 

Initially this significant role will have one direct report - a member of the Street Child international programmes team based in Sierra Leone, though further roles may be created with portfolio development. 

Impact and influence will be primarily driven through excellent peer-to-peer collaboration with the SCoSL & SCoL's Country Directors, senior staff and programmes teams. 

This role will have matrix reporting lines into, and significant support from, Street Child UK's Head of Africa Programmes; Head of Global Education & Advisory; and Global Programme Co-ordinator. Other key internal relationships will be with Street Child colleagues in finance (especially), other global programmes teams, fundraisers and communications. 

The role-holder is expected to be highly active in external representation and engagement - with Ministries, UN agencies, FCDO, partners, donors and other relevant parties. 

3. Skills

We need someone with the technical knowledge and abilities to add real value - and who will interact positively with Street Child's Global Head of Education and Advisory. TARL is a key feature of much of our present programming - prior experience with this method would be hugely beneficial; or a willingness to learn, fast. 

We need someone with the inter-personal skills, and patience, to drive outcomes though respectful, purposive peer-to-peer interaction with SCoSL and SCoL Country Directors and Senior Teams. 

We also need someone with the operational and management qualities to ensure excellent programme delivery, in particular of Street Child-UK contracted programmes. Monitoring, data management, reporting and evaluation are key components of the role - evidence of strong capabilities in these areas is vital. 

Excellent inter-personal skills are obviously essential - as are strong writing abilities, to deliver excellent reports and proposals. 

4.Opportunity

This is not an easy job! But for the right person, it's a really great job. There will be considerable freedom to develop the role, as the senior representative of Street Child UK in-country; and equally, considerable support from Street Child UK global leadership, most of whom have extensive experience of these two contexts.

Moreover, our work in Sierra Leone and Liberia sits right at the heart of the charity. These are flag-ship programmes for the charity. Sierra Leone in particular remains among the very best supported programmes by Street Child's core donor base, many of whom have visited the country (including over 1000 for the Sierra Leone Marathon, which the charity has staged every year, apart from 2020 sadly - COVID-19). Street Child are very well known in Sierra Leone 

In recent years Street Child's work in Sierra Leone and Liberia has won considerable recognition. In 2019 the charity received an award at the World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) in Qatar for our 'Family Business for Education' work in both countries. Street Child Liberia also emerged from the December 2019 RCT evaluation of the high-profile PSL/LEAP programme with massive credit - delivering the best value outcomes of all eight operators, by a clear distance. The opportunity in this role is to carry forwards this momentum and play a key role in driving the next phase of Street Child's journey in these two critical contexts. 

We anticipate paying a salary in the region of $35-48k for the successful candidate, depending on prior experience.

Job Title:  Project Manager (Rapid Response)

Principal Location: Buea, Cameroon.

Contract: Full Time, 7 month fixed-term contract

Salary: £25,000 - £30,000 per annum 

Role Purpose

Street Child are seeking a dynamic professional to lead a rapid response project within Street Child’s growing Cameroon programme. Moved by the four year Anglophone crisis, Street Child are seeking strong capacity support for its outstanding local partner to deliver a rapid response in the North West and South West. This role is an exciting opportunity to lead the planning and management of a rapid response project, focusing on quality delivery in line with technical standards and best practices. The project is initially focussed on delivery of a rapid response across health, nutrition, protection and WASH. This role will be embedded in a local organisation’s project team, and will require close collaboration with and coaching of the partner staff on a daily basis. The Project Manager is also expected to support the Cameroon Programme Manager to expand the programme portfolio – particularly in education and child protection - and support the ongoing set-up of Street Child operations in Cameroon, increasing potential opportunity for extension beyond the project.

Organisation Background

Street Child believes that every child deserves the chance to go to school and learn. Our projects focus on a combination of education, child protection and livelihood support to address the social, economic and structural issues that underpin today’s education crisis. We partner with local organisations and communities to deliver our locally rooted programmes, using evidence to drive learning and the refinement and scale up of programmes to create maximum impact for the most children at the lowest cost. We pride ourselves on being willing to go to the world’s toughest places where others won’t, including remote, hard-to-reach areas and fragile, disaster-affected states across sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Since 2008 we have helped over 318,000 children to go to school and learn and supported over 29,000 families to set up businesses so they can afford the cost of educating their children.

The crisis in Cameroon is recognised as one of the world’s most neglected displacement crises and most under-reported education crises, with ongoing violence keeping 80% of schools closed and 855,000 children out of school. In February 2020, Street Child began setting up operations in Cameroon in response to a call by the humanitarian community for more funds, more profile and more international actors. We are now looking to grow our team, and are looking for a dynamic self-starter to take on this exciting opportunity of helping to establish and build our programmes and profile in this complex context. 

In particular, we are looking for a motivated, ambitious candidate to coordinate and manage an inter-sectoral emergency response project, in close collaboration with our strong local partner. The successful candidate will have demonstrated experience in delivering high-quality projects in complex conflict settings, excellent relationship building and coaching skills, and a problem-solving attitude.
