The job of a Save the Children's UK Senior Social Protection Adviser is strategic and rewarding.

• Do you have practical and conceptual understanding of social protection in a range of settings, including how it can be leveraged to enhance progress in child outcomes across health, education and child protection?
• Do you have experience of providing effective and high-quality technical advice to large-scale, high profile social protection programmes, ensuring delivery of results?
• Are you motivated by our vision of creating a world where every child doesn't just survive, but thrives, and can go on to change the world?

If the answers to these questions are yes, we would love to hear from you!

About Us

We are Save the Children. Together we fight for children every single day so that they can make their mark on the world and build a better future.

We stand side by side with children in the toughest places to be a child. We do whatever it takes to make sure they survive, get protection when they're in danger, and have the chance to learn.

The Save the Children UK Programme Policy and Quality (PPQ) Department's ambition is to ensure Save the Children's programmes are innovative, evidence-based, replicable and high-quality. The department is responsible for leading the thematic development of SCUK programmes, across Hunger and Livelihoods, Health, Education and Child Protection to achieve breakthroughs in the potential for children to survive, learn and be protected. Our social protection work is a part of our Hunger Reduction and Livelihoods portfolio but also engages cross-thematically and with numerous global teams to achieve outcomes across our strategic breakthroughs to achieve child outcomes.

Job Purpose

In this rare and extremely rewarding position you will play a key strategic role in leading the work of Save the Children UK and the wider Save the Children movement on child-sensitive social protection (CSSP) in low- and middle-income countries. The ultimate goal of this area of our work is to help secure increased coverage of effective government social protection programmes that benefit children and their caregivers, such as child and family grants integrated with complementary services, to protect children and their families from monetary poverty and other deprivations, helping realise every child's right to social protection as set out in Article 26 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

You will be responsible for providing leadership of a shared strategic vision to guide the work of Save the Children UK in the area of CSSP and contribute to the global movement's approach in this area also, expanding our footprint and engagement in CSSP globally.

A key part of this will involve working alongside, mentoring and supporting colleagues in a number of countries that are implementing social protection pilots, developing high quality evidence, building local partnerships with civil society, and providing technical assistance and advocating to governments. Through this you will contribute to building the evidence base of effective approaches through involvement in rigorous evaluations of our programmes and operational research, and work to influence government policies to deliver measurable improvements in child outcomes.

You will also be responsible for further developing our programme portfolio by helping identify and secure new funded opportunities to advance our work in child sensitive social protection. In doing this you will need to be able to understand and articulate the role social protection can play in a wide range of areas, including: improving nutritional outcomes; improving educational attainment; and helping people adapt to the risks posed by climate change and large scale shocks. You will also need to understand the role social protection can play in building a longer-term solution to the needs of people in fragile and conflict affected settings, including the stronger coordination and coherence that needs to be made with humanitarian cash and voucher assistance.

In doing the above you will work closely with a Social Protection Advisor which you will line manage, supporting them to develop new funded work that expands the social protection portfolio and to provide high quality technical assistance to colleagues across the Save the Children movement. You will also work closely with other social protection colleagues throughout the movement, as well as colleagues from various other thematic areas and partnership departments.

• Provide leadership to the CSSP sub-team within the Hunger Reduction and Livelihoods Team, facilitating the development of an ambitious but realistic workplan for yourself and the Social Protection Advisor.
• Co-lead Save the Children's movement-wide approach and strategy on CSSP to help strengthen the quality of our work globally and manage sustainable growth in the number of countries where we support and engage with government on CSSP.
• Support country offices to develop realistic but ambitious strategic plans for engaging in CSSP.

Support to programme development & delivery

• Provide high quality technical support to the design and implementation of new and existing CSSP work (e.g. pilot programmes, assessments and studies, technical assistance to government), ensuring they are based on gender-sensitive needs assessments and are in line with Save the Children's Theory of Change, strategies, and international best practices.
• Contribute to the development of programme advocacy strategies and support the delivery of strategic advocacy to government, donors, and other key stakeholders in social protection.

We are looking for someone talented at mobilising community led action to play a key role in our ambitious five-year programme - Just FACT: a Just Food and Climate Transition - in Tower Hamlets.  This exciting, transformational piece of work aims to reduce the environmental impacts of our local food system, enabling genuinely community led alternatives. This is an opportunity for you to work dynamically, engaging our incredible local community and supporting the inspiring partner organisations to mobilise high impact climate action.  

Here at Wen we believe that food has a unique power to bring people together across difference to create positive change collectively. It creates a place where we can share knowledge, skills and gain confidence to take high impact action together as a community.  Food is also at the heart of many of Tower Hamlets residents’ greatest problems. With Covid-19 and the cost of living crisis, more and more people are struggling to get the food they need, with many families unable to afford healthy enjoyable meals, and more people than ever reliant on food banks.  

It is vital we do everything we can to take action to prevent a climate crisis.  This project believes improving our food system will be a vital part of the solution by creating a more resilient food system that works better for the happiness, health and wellbeing of our communities. That is why we’re calling this project Just FACT – A Just Food and Climate Transition – because we believe that any action we take on climate change must have justice at its heart. 

You will be one of two Programme Mobilisers,  working across the programme forming relationships that ensure our fantastic community partners are well supported and resourced to achieve their community led goals.  You will play a key role in ensuring the smooth delivery of the Just FACT programme and sharing learning and impact internally and with outside audiences.  You will be finding opportunities, identifying gaps, and taking action to widen community engagement in the project.  We are looking for someone highly organised and motivated, with a talent for working alongside people to make great things happen.

We particularly encourage applications from People of Colour/ People of the Global Majority,  LGBTQI+ people, people with disabilities, and those who identify as working-class/ from low-income backgrounds or who have done so in the past. This is because these groups are currently underrepresented in Wen. Where two or more candidates are judged to be of equal merit, priority may be given to a candidate who belongs to a group less represented at Wen. 

 Wen are committed to anti-racism and inclusive intersectional feminism which acknowledges how race, class and sexuality intersect with gender in our day-to-day lives. Wen is open to all genders and is actively working towards being a trans inclusive organisation. 

See attached Job Description and Person Specification for more details. 

About Wen 

Wen works both in East London and nationally to support women and their communities to take environmental action.  We work across a wide range of environmental issues, including building resilient and sustainable local food systems, food growing, nature based wellbeing sessions in women’s refuges, our Environmenstrual campaign and our work on a UK Feminist Green New Deal.   

Wen has been supporting women and communities to grow their own food, and become advocates for environmental action in Tower Hamlets, for over ten years. Wen leads on the Tower Hamlets Food Partnership, bringing organisations and individuals together to build a better food system for everyone in Tower Hamlets. Members include housing providers, food charities, small businesses, schools, social enterprises, community gardeners and the council.
