• 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.

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.

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.

Save the Children is a member of the Collaborative Cash Delivery network (CCD), a network of 14 INGOs committed to collaborating for improved impacts of humanitarian cash programming. CCD's Shared Services Hub for Ukraine response will pilot a project in Ukraine to transition from Cash & Voucher Assistance (CVA) that is delivered to people in need by humanitarian actors, to CVA that is delivered directly by the Government-led Social Protection system.

Together with the other member agencies of the CCD, we will work closely with the Government to ensure there is coordination and will identify opportunities for greater alignment or “piggybacking” on existing social protection schemes where this will improve the timeliness and effectiveness of our delivery. As part of this we will also explore options for temporarily scaling up the level of support to those already in receipt of social protection (vertical expansion) or temporarily expanding coverage of existing schemes to those who do not currently benefit (horizontal expansion), to accommodate for the unique needs of those who remain inside Ukraine and those on the move. We will also advocate for the inclusion of refugees in existing or new social protection schemes in their destination countries, and we will provide CVA where that is not feasible.

In responding to this crisis, we will ensure strong coordination with other CVA actors, including within the CCD, with Cash Working Groups (CWGs), UNHCR, and other coordinating bodies.

Job Purpose

In this position you will be part of the interagency Shared Services Hub created by the CCD and will play a leading role in the design and quality oversight of the interagency Social Protection pilot to be implemented in Ukraine.

Your role will also be aimed at facilitating links between humanitarian CVA and national social protection systems, with a view to improving coordination, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of our response. In providing expert advice to CCD member agencies, you will promote an integrated approach that combines financial support with other locally available or complementary interventions to better meet the various non-income related needs of the individuals and families we support (referred to as ‘Cash Plus').

Please Note: This role will be expected to spend 50% of the time based in Ukraine (Kyiv) and the rest working remotely from the UK or other Save the Children Country Office.

The role will be initially for 6 months with the aim of extension for another 18 months.

Main Accountabilities

Phase 1 (six months)

• Help conduct rapid yet comprehensive analysis of national social protection policies and systems inside Ukraine and – secondarily - in selected neighbouring host countries to identify areas of engagement for CCD member agencies, and potential links with humanitarian CVA.
• Monitor the evolution and resilience of national social protection systems as they adapt to respond to the ongoing crisis and help CCD Cash advisors in identifying gaps and opportunities where we could effectively provide support.
• In consultation with the Ministry of Social Policy in Ukraine, and with Cash advisors from CCD agencies, lead the design of the inter-agency Social Protection pilot.
• Engage with donors at regional and sub-regional levels to support fundraising, profile-raising and scoping of opportunities, to secure funding for the Social Protection pilot in Ukraine.
• Support effective HR planning for the Social Protection Pilot
