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

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.

Mission

En tant que spécialiste mobile de l’éducation en contexte d’urgence, vous serez un membre clé de l’équipe « Éducation en contexte d’urgence » de notre siège international[SA1] . Lors des déploiements (parfois planifiés à la dernière minute), vous apporterez un appui technique aux bureaux de pays de Plan International. En général, il s’agit de réagir à des situations d’urgence de moyenne et de grande envergure afin d’élaborer, de mettre en œuvre, de suivre et d’évaluer les programmes d’éducation en contexte d’urgence. Vous veillerez à ce que les interventions d’éducation en contexte d’urgence soient conformes aux normes minimales et ressources connexes du Réseau inter-agences pour l’éducation en situation d’urgence (INEE) ainsi qu’aux autres normes, directives et instruments humanitaires à l’échelle mondiale.

Lorsque vous ne serez pas en déploiement, vous contribuerez, comme convenu avec l’équipe, au programme de travail relatif à l’éducation en contexte d’urgence de Plan International. Cette tâche pourra inclure un suivi en continu et à distance avec les pays de déploiement. Pour ce faire, vous établirez et maintiendrez une relation de confiance avec les services gouvernementaux concernés et les principaux donateurs.

Plan International participe également au système interorganisations de divulgation des fautes professionnelles[SA2] . Dans le cadre de ce programme, nous demandons aux anciens employeurs des informations à propos de toute constatation éventuelle d’actes d’exploitation sexuelle, d’atteintes sexuelles et/ou de harcèlement sexuel qui auraient été commis par le candidat pendant la période où il était employé, ou à propos d’incidents faisant l’objet d’une enquête lorsque le candidat a quitté son emploi. En soumettant votre candidature, vous confirmez avoir compris ces procédures de recrutement.
