For over 10 years Lumos has worked directly in a number of countries to safely transform systems of care and protection, helping to ensure children can grow up in loving families rather than harmful orphanages, and demonstrating that change is possible. Despite the milestones achieved, millions of children continue to live in institutions globally and until more countries adopt quality system-wide reform at national levels, this grave problem will persist.

The postholder will execute a pioneering new campaign, funded by a key donor to Lumos, aimed at shifting mindsets and philanthropic investments.

Following astute analysis of policy, political contexts and advocacy targets, you will go on to oversee and deliver Lumos' strategic engagement with external audiences, identifying and cultivating influencing opportunities and developing sustainable relationships with key influencers to support Lumos's advocacy and campaigns goals. This will involve development and drafting of content, design, publication of targeted advocacy materials and representing Lumos at events and on speaker panels.

The right candidate will possess a strong commitment to children's rights, extensive expertise in campaigning or advocacy and excellent organisational and project management skills. With outstanding communication skills, the Advocacy and Campaigns Manager will thrive when collaborating and influencing colleagues and stakeholders at any level and bring a track record of effectively targeted communications for a diverse range of key audiences. The ability to analyse policy opportunities and synthesise and translate complex information suitable for a range of audiences is essential.
