About Family for Every Child
Family for Every Child is dedicated to a vision of a world where every child can grow up in a permanent, safe and caring family, supported by temporary, quality alternative care where needed.
Fundamentally, we are driven by three strategic goals:
-
Enabling children to grow up in permanent, safe and caring families, and
-
Ensuring a range of high-quality alternative care choices
-
Taking steps to prevent children from having to live outside of any adult care, without the care of families or other carers, and in the interim protecting these boys and girls
We are an Alliance of national member organisations (local civil society organisations) which has grown from a handful of members 4 years ago to a network of now over 43 members in 38 countries around the world.
Family for Every Child was developed to demonstrate a different way of doing international collaboration. It is premised on the importance of diverse and contextually informed knowledge from all parts of the globe being given equal value internationally. Although our members all grow independently, they are connected by a shared “root” system, tended to by a small team of Family for Every Child staff (the Secretariat). This makes each member more effective, and the network as a whole more resilient, because together, we’re more than the sum of our parts. We believe in collective leadership and working horizontally bringing together our member organisations, our Secretariat and our Boards. We are committed to becoming a model of ways of working that starts to decolonise the sector. We are determined to improve as an Alliance on this journey.
Ours is a “future focused” model that will facilitate growth, change and impact in a sustainable way.
The majority of our governing body of trustees that forms the international Family for Every Child Board are members themselves. The Board has legal responsibility for the general management of Family for Every Child, including ensuring effective use of resources and overseeing risk and performance.
Since our collective work is led by diverse organisations in every region of the world, we have a relatively small Secretariat team supporting the members that contributes to this collective change, with Alliance members taking the lead.
We connect online, and have no physical offices. This light and agile team is located in different parts of the world and exists to accompany and support members to develop their own capacities and grow the Alliance.
Family for Every Child now wants to extend that impact beyond our core members by launching a Community of Practice to support the wider care sector in their COVID-19 response and recovery, and beyond.
Role summary
We are currently recruiting an Interim Member Engagement Manager to lead the Member Engagement Team for a maternity cover period of 5 months. The team has collective responsibility for contributing to the delivery of Family for Every Child’s (Family’s) Membership Development Plan by growing the Alliance, supporting all aspects of the member journey from scoping of new members, orientation when members join the Alliance, supporting their transition to full membership and their five year review; strengthening and facilitating member’s engagement and learning; overseeing the approach to members’ due diligence and safeguarding; and overseeing planning for the knowledge management portfolio and development of our Community Platform - Changemakers for Children.
Management responsibility includes budget oversight for the whole team, reporting and forecasting, contracting and managing consultants and interpreters and line management of 5 direct reports.
This role works closely with the Director of Alliance Programme to support preparation of reports for the Board and attendance at quarterly Board Membership Committee meetings.
We are a global Secretariat and we are currently wanting to more broadly reflect geographic and cultural diversity. We therefore welcome applications from candidates in South Africa, Kenya, India and the UK. Excellent command of English (oral and written) is a must, but proficiency in Spanish, Portuguese, French or Arabic would be advantageous.
Key skills for this role including the need to be flexible and adaptable, a highly skilled communicator with strong relationship building, negotiation and diplomacy skills. The post holder must evidence a respectful, empathetic and supportive approach to work with national civil society organisations, who seeks to identify and build on strengths, and acknowledges the challenges such agencies face in their day to day work. This role works across different actors, cultural contexts, technical areas and bridges silos within the organisation and the wider Alliance.
This role is home based and the post holder will ideally have experience of working from home as part of a remote, international team.
Please visit our website for the full job description.
Salary
Range: £49,000 - £54,000 UK equivalent salary. This will be pro-rated for part time hours.
In addition, we offer generous benefits and family-friendly policies.
Salary will be determined based on experience and the location of post holder with a cost of living adjustment agreed, using market rate salary data and converted into local currency.
Working hours
Part time - 3.5 days per week (0.7 FTE = 24.5 hours per week)
Working pattern to be agreed on appointment.
Contract type
Fixed term (minimum 5 months) - to start by 26 April - end September 2021
Maternity cover
Location
The position is home based, within the country of residence of the candidate, ideally South Africa, Kenya, India or UK
The post holder will be employed by Family For Every Child and must therefore ensure that they have the legal right to work within the county they are based. Family For Every Child does not support applications for working visas and there is no relocation support. We require proof of entitlement - visa and/or passport - and we will need a signed declaration for tax and social security purposes in order to ensure we comply with local legislation. Should the tax and or employment legislation within the country you are based prohibit Family For Every Child from employing you directly then we will explore the option of an Employer of Record/Professional Employment Organisation arrangement. If the cost or mechanism of ensuring legitimate employment within your country of residence proves prohibitive, Family for Every Child reserves the right to withdraw your application from the selection process.
