Job Title: Disability Inclusion Technical Adviser – Global Health (Secondment)

Job Location:   UK - The post will be based in an FCDO office in the UK (London or East Kilbride). Flexible working patterns, locations and working arrangements within the UK may be considered

Contract: 12-month fixed term contract secondment position from Sightsavers to FCDO (formerly DFID) with the potential to extend

Salary: £42,686 to £57,752 - dependent upon experience.

Sightsavers’ programming in disability and broader social inclusion is growing, including with a number of Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) funded programmes committed to disability inclusion and the Leave No One Behind Agenda. As a result of our collaboration with FCDO, we seek an experienced disability inclusion adviser to be seconded into FCDO’s Human Development Department (HDD).

Realising the importance of disability inclusive development, in December 2018, DFID published a 5-year Disability Inclusion Strategy, committing to mainstream disability inclusion across all work – and continuing a twin-track approach of mainstreaming as well as specific and focused action for people with disabilities.

FCDO will refresh and build on the DFID strategy. This will include improving awareness, adapting culture and practices, engaging meaningfully with Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs), influencing others, adapting programmes and collecting disaggregated data.

The Human Development Department (HDD) is a key department working on global health in FCDO. The department has a broad policy spread, programme budget of approximately £180m a year, and 65 posts. HDD is a busy, high profile department, full of opportunities for personal and professional development. As well as supporting the work of ministers in these areas, we work closely with and provide policy and technical support to other HQ departments and country programmes. The team also manages a number of centrally managed programmes addressing policy issues, global coordination, systems strengthening and delivery gaps.

The disability inclusion adviser will be an important resource and interlocutor between FCDO and Sightsavers on the Inclusive Futures programme and PENDA. This £37m programme, delivered by two consortia (led by Sightsavers, and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, respectively) is the centrepiece of FCDO research and evaluation into ‘what works’ at a programmatic level, building a rigorous global evidence base, both pilot and at-scale. One component of this programme is ‘evidence uptake’: to ensure that new learning and evidence is shared across the global development community and national governments.

The disability inclusion adviser will work within the newly-created Health Outcomes Strategy team which coordinates different parts of FCDO working on health outcomes and ensuring maximum impact towards HMG objectives on global health. The team sits within the Human Development Department works across different teams working on health in FCDO, including Human Development, Global Funds Department (GFD), and the C-19 Vaccines, Therapeutics and Diagnostics team.
