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 Vision

Plan International’s global strategy applies a full spectrum approach where Disaster Risk Management (DRM) is an integral part of everything the organisation does with and for children and girls, especially in fragile settings. 

Our ambition is to become a global leader and the NGO partner of choice for promoting gender equality and protecting girls’ rights in disaster and conflict settings, working at the nexus of development and humanitarian efforts.

While our emergency response work is driven by the humanitarian imperative and principles, as a global organisation Plan International has invested in three priority focus areas; Child Protection in Emergency (CPIE), Education in Emergency (EIE) and Youth Economic Empowerment in Emergency (YEEIE). 

Plan International has developed a systematic approach to integrating Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation into our Country Strategies and promoting a resilience approach to our programmes. Our ambition is to continue to grow the DRM portfolio in this area.

As an organisation we place great importance on contributing to the work and collective learning, strengthened coordination and quality of work in the sector and increasingly take on inter-agency leadership roles within our areas of expertise at a country and global level.

In the last financial year Plan International responded to 171 emergencies of differing scales and significance across 55 countries with a focus on Child Protection and Education in Emergencies programming.

• 61,258,951 girls, boys, women and men were reached through this work in FY20
• Spending relating to disaster risk management totalled €175 million in FY20
• Plan International partnered with 27,600 community organisations, over 3,400 NGO’s and 934 corporate and private sector institutions.

The Opportunity

The Global Humanitarian Director - Preparedness & Response (also known as Disaster Risk Management (DRM) within Plan International) will lead in setting the overall direction in this area, mobilising the different parts of Plan International and leading the implementation of the Global DRM vision across Global Hub, Regional Hubs, Country Offices, and National Organisations.

You will position Plan International as a global leader and NGO partner of choice for promoting gender equality and protecting girls’ rights in disaster and conflict settings, continuously evaluating and increasing the impact of our work.

You will lead a high performing, motivated and skilled team to deliver and support the achievement of the Global DRM vision, acting as a role model to drive positive culture change across Plan International and consciously embracing and personifying our values-based leadership framework underpinned by feminist principles.  

About You

With proven experience in humanitarian programming and in exercising visionary and strategic leadership in aspects of large, geographically dispersed, culturally diverse, complex international organisations you will have significant experience of managing large scale humanitarian response operations in different and complex contexts.

Strong inter-personal skills in stakeholder management, networking, negotiation, diplomacy and communication with the ability to work empathetically and effectively will be imperative as is a track record of developing and leading effective and motivated teams, including distance management and delivering business planning, financial management, improvement programmes in line with organisational objectives.

Community Coordinator

ECHO is seeking a new community-building superstar to join our small but hardworking charity supporting children and young people with heart conditions and their families.

You will play a major role in developing a new community forum on the ECHO website, reaching out to families and professionals across the paediatric cardiology community.

You will act as a link between parents, medical professionals and information providers and be of assistance to them all.

The day-to-day job of Community Coordinator will be to build and improve the way parents/carers can ask questions, find information, and get support from the moment of diagnosis right through to adulthood.

This job will suit someone who wants to make a difference to families, someone who understands the value of high quality and reliable information and someone who can take the time to make someone else smile.

The Job Description gives you an idea of what we are looking for - what we would love is someone who can bring ideas and see them through to delivery on a small budget and in a small team. Someone who values volunteers and who can get things done.

Setting up a new online forum might not be easy, we have some technical support, but you will work with volunteers and partners to get it working and moderated safely, within necessary guidelines and policies. When monitoring and replying to forum posts, you will need to be knowledgeable and professional in your signposting ability.

Much of your work will be online but some will be face to face meeting parents, children, doctors, psychologists, administrators, and charity professionals - you will need to be open-minded and have a positive attitude.

Supporting families as they experience their heart journey can be tough; we support you with a fun and friendly team, regular wellbeing activities and monthly external supervision. As a thank you we gift staff some extra holiday days, and we encourage personal development and training.

We are a small team, there may at times be a need for help with a children’s party, a fundraising letter to a company or presenting to a medical team about the work we do. Our work is based mainly from the ECHO office, but we are flexible and ad-hoc travel to events and activities will be necessary.

ECHO seeks to ensure we achieve diversity in our workforce regardless of gender, race, religious belief, nationality, ethnic/national origin, sexual orientation, age, marital status or disability. ECHO welcomes applications from all candidates, including underrepresented groups and refugees who have the right to work in the UK. ECHO will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable adjustments to participate in the job application and/or interview process, and for essential job function if appointed to the role. Please contact us if you may need such adjustments.

We have done more to influence laws and policies to help protect children than anyone else. We get things done. And we’re not going to stop until the world is a safe place for all our children.

We are currently recruiting a PR Manager to join Unicef UK.  In this role, you will deliver exceptional media and communications work for Unicef UK’s fundraising and engagement campaigns. You will manage relationships across top UK media outlets and contribute to internal strategic thinking about how to maximise our campaigns and fundraising.

You will contribute to delivering effective, ambitious and well-messaged media coverage to promote our high profile communications projects, such as Soccer Aid for UNICEF, World Children’s Day, fundraising gala events and other media campaigns fronted by our Ambassadors.

To succeed in this role, you will have experience of developing, implementing and evaluating excellent media strategies and securing effective coverage within key mass media titles. 

You will also be an exceptional communicator, able to develop highly productive working relationships with consumer journalists, key internal stakeholders and external partners, and have a strong knowledge of the UK media, humanitarian issues and children’s rights. You will ideally have experience of working in, or dealing with, the voluntary sector on development issues.

This role offers a genuine opportunity to make a difference to the lives of millions of children around the world.

We are normally based on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, East London but while our office is closed, this role will work from home or from wherever makes you happy.

We particularly welcome applications from black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, LGBTQ+ candidates, candidates with disabilities, and from men, because we would like to increase the representation of these groups at this level at Unicef UK. We want to do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for children.

UNICEF UK promotes equality, diversity and inclusion in our workplace. We make employment decisions by matching business needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.

We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.

The successful candidate will be required to apply for a criminal records check. A criminal record will not necessarily bar you from working with us. This will depend on the nature of the role and the circumstances of your offences.

We only accept online applications as this saves us money, making more funds available for us to help ensure children’s rights. CVs will not be accepted.

If you do not hear from us within 14 days of the closing date, please assume your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion. Please note that we only provide feedback to shortlisted candidates.
