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.

The Opportunity

As the Deployable Education in Emergencies (EiE) Specialist, you will be a key member of Plan International’s Global Hub Education in Emergencies team. While on deployment (which could sometimes be at short notice), you will provide technical support to Plan International’s Country Offices (COs). 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.).

An understanding of key EiE issues is essential, as is experience of conducting educational needs assessments and the ability to build on education technical areas with a variety of audiences.

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

Reports to: Education in Emergencies Specialist

Salary: We will be happy to disclose the salary and applicable benefits to applicants as part of this process, however, please kindly note that this will vary according to the location of the appointed candidate and therefore, it is not possible to include full details here

Plan International believes that in a world where children face so many threats of harm, it is our duty to ensure that we, as an organisation, do everything we can to keep children safe. This means that we have particular responsibilities to children that we come into contact with and we must not contribute in any way to harming or placing children at risk. 

A range of pre-employment checks will be undertaken in conformity with Plan International's Safeguarding Children and Young People policy. Plan International also participates in the Inter Agency Misconduct Disclosure Scheme. In line with this scheme we will request information from applicants previous employers about any findings of sexual exploitation, sexual abuse and/or sexual harassment during employment, or incidents under investigation when the applicant left employment. By submitting an application, the job applicant confirms his/her understanding of these recruitment procedures. 

Equality, diversity and inclusion is at the very heart of everything that Plan International stands for. Our organisation is based on a culture of inclusivity and we strive to create a workplace environment that ensures every team, in every office, in every country, is rich in diverse people, thoughts, and ideas. 

We will provide equality of opportunity and will not tolerate discrimination on any grounds. We foster an organisational culture that embraces and exemplifies our commitment to gender equality, girls’ rights and inclusion while supporting staff to adopt good practice, positive attitudes and principles of gender equality and inclusion.

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.

This is an exciting new opportunity to work with a growing homelessness charity, to build and develop our work with volunteers.

All People All Places (APAP) delivers a range of projects providing accommodation, advice and advocacy to single homeless adults in Haringey and Enfield. APAP benefits from the generous support of community volunteers who support our shelter projects, for example by bringing food for our guests, or providing support at our winter night shelters.

We are keen to expand the range of volunteering opportunities we offer, and improve the support we offer to volunteers. The post holder will be responsible for establishing new systems and procedures for inducting, training and developing volunteers. They will work across APAP’s different projects (winter night shelters, our static shelter in Haringey, and the new Day Centre that will be opening in Enfield in 2021) to co-ordinate effective volunteer support.

In addition, the post holder will be responsible for maintaining and developing links with community partners (eg. local businesses and individuals who generously provide donations and funds). They will also lead on running our social media platforms.

If you have excellent organisational and people skills, energy and enthusiasm and are keen to use your skills to benefit people experiencing homelessness, we would love to hear from you!

This post is a pilot project for 6 months, and we will actively be seeking funding to continue the post beyond this period. Work will be a mixture of home-based, and from our premises in Haringey and Enfield. 

Bede is an established local charity providing four specialist services. We support adults with a learning disability; women and men who experience domestic abuse; youth clubs and school holiday programmes and opportunities for community volunteering. Our team of around 40 staff work with an annual income of £1.2m.

We invite you to lead us through an exciting period of development as we move to a new purpose-built Centre in 2023. You'll join us at a key moment in our long and distinguished history, and take us into a dynamic future. Our current Director, Nick Dunne, who retires in 2021, will introduce you to this exceptional opportunity to make a real difference to our neighbours' lives.

This is a unique chance for an experienced senior manager from the not-for-profit sector to head our small, high-impact organisation. You will work with people in complex circumstances, and support specialist managers in grasping opportunities and assessing risks. In addition, you'll bring a thorough working knowledge of HR, charity finance, fundraising and governance to your role. You'll draw on all your creativity and energy to achieve maximum success and sustainability. We look forward to hearing from you - and offering a warm welcome from our lively and appreciative community.
