The Organisation
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation 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 support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.
We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 80 years and are now active in more than 70 countries.

This normally involves responding to medium and large-scale emergencies to develop, implement, monitor and evaluate EiE programmes. You will ensure that EiE interventions are aligned with the Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies Minimum Standards (INEE MS) and related resources, and other global humanitarian standards, guidelines and tools.
When not on deployment you will contribute to Plan’s EiE workplan as agreed with the team, which may include continued follow up from a distance with deployment countries. This will be done whilst building and maintaining relationships with relevant government departments and key donors.
The Individual
We are looking to recruit an individual who has significant experience in planning, designing and implementing integrated humanitarian programmes. You will preferably have experience of working in a range of humanitarian contexts (e.g. refugee, conflict, rapid onset, etc.).

You will have excellent negotiation and representation skills, alongside the ability to work comfortably with diverse staff in a sensitive environment.
It is essential that you are fluent in both written and spoken English and French; fluency in Spanish, Arabic or any other language is desirable.
Location: Flexible, in most locations where Plan International has a legal entity and you have the pre-existing right to live and work. Our preference is for the person to the based closet to the point of impact.
Type of Role: 12-month Fixed Term Contract, with the possibility for extension

Plan international
Plan International est une organisation humanitaire et de développement indépendante qui promeut les droits des enfants et l’égalité entre les filles et les garçons.
Nous croyons au pouvoir et au potentiel qui sommeillent en chaque enfant. Malheureusement, ces forces sont souvent entravées par la pauvreté, la violence, l’exclusion et la discrimination, en particulier au détriment des filles.
En collaboration avec les enfants, les jeunes, nos partenaires et toutes les personnes qui nous soutiennent, nous nous efforçons de bâtir un monde plus juste, en nous attaquant aux causes profondes des difficultés auxquelles sont confrontés les filles et tous les enfants vulnérables.
Nous soutenons les droits des enfants depuis leur naissance jusqu’à leur arrivée à l’âge adulte et nous leur permettons non seulement de se préparer aux crises et à l’adversité, mais aussi d’y répondre. Grâce à son action à grande échelle, son expérience et ses connaissances, Plan International est à l’origine de changements dans les pratiques et les politiques aux niveaux local, national et mondial.
Depuis plus de 80 ans, l’organisation met en place des partenariats performants en faveur des enfants. Elle intervient aujourd’hui dans plus de 70 pays.

About SCI
SCI, a charity, was established in 1881 by a prominent group of forward-thinking scientists, inventors and entrepreneurs. The Society was designed as an innovation hub where scientists and entrepreneurs could come together to share ideas and develop new products and processes to solve the societal challenges of the day. Many of our founders went on to create significant companies of the last Industrial Revolution – such as Unilever, ICI and Tate & Lyle.
Today, with members in over 70 countries and with over 200 companies and multiple academic institutions represented in our network, SCI’s community continues to innovate to provide solutions to some of society’s most demanding challenges of today – in areas such as Climate Change and Global Health.
