Delivering through, and building the strength of, excellent local NGOs is at the heart of Street Child’s approach globally. This is very true in Nigeria, where we are recognised as one of the outstanding INGOs in terms of local partner engagement and support. This position will be the focal point for all Street Child’s local partnership relationships - improving coordination, strengthening organisational development and supporting programme delivery across education, child protection and livelihoods initiatives. You will also be involved in the identification of potential new partners and associated due diligence.

You will play a significant role in proposal development - in addition to, and as a key part of, the local partner dimensions of this position.Excellent writing skills are essential. This aspect of the role will span both Street Child-fronted applications but also directly supporting key local partners with their own applications – and the longer-term development of their capacity in this area. A distinctive feature of Street Child’s partnership proposition to local organisations is a commitment to supporting their own resource mobilisation, not just as a downstream partner of Street Child – but independently too.

Naturally, as a key member of a busy team where responding to fresh events and opportunities quickly is the norm, you will be frequently asked to help with whatever the need of the moment is. We value agility and flexibility. Further details of the role are listed below and on the attached description.

This unique role is a great opportunity – for an enthusiastic team player, who is committed to Street Child’s cause and ways of working and brings fantastic inter-personal and written skills. Whilst this role could be suitable to an exceptional candidate at the start of their humanitarian career, prior relevant experience would be an advantage. The salary will be commensurate with experience.
