To succeed in this role, you will have experience of planning, developing and implementing advocacy campaigns that include both digital and offline channels. You will be able to communicate complex policy and advocacy issues in a way that is compelling and engages and inspires a variety of audiences to support the campaigns we work on for children.

Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination.”

You will be responsible for managing a diverse sport for development portfolio, providing high level programme support, financial oversight, monitoring and evaluation technical expertise and capacity building support to our global implementing partners.

[We are only accepting applicants with a right to work in the UK; we are unable to sponsor people requiring a work visa]

14 month, fixed-term, maternity cover role
Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh, London or Manchester

Do you want to play a key role in an organisation which stands up for children? Join us as a Senior Evidence and Learning Adviser and help us to unlock our understanding of the ways in which can reduce the impact of poverty on children's lives and support their early learning outcomes.

Every child has the right to ensure that their basic needs are met, and to receive the encouragement and help which enables them to reach their full potential. The greatest barrier to this in the UK is poverty and inequality. Our mission is to secure a sustainable reduction in the number of children growing up in poverty and work to narrow the early learning gap between those children and their better off peers.

We believe this future is possible. It requires more money to be put back into the pockets of parents and carers, decent jobs, more opportunities for young children to play and learn, and policies and services which centre children and families' needs, reduce discrimination, and that are designed to help children to flourish by preventing difficulties at the earliest possible stage: in pregnancy, at birth, in the crucial first 1,001 days of life and throughout childhood.

We work closely with the communities we aim to support. We recognise their diversity and strengths as well as the challenges they face, and we aim to reflect their diversity and experiences in our UK staff team.

The UK Evidence and Learning team generates evidence that enables us to secure changes to policy and practice, in every nation of the United Kingdom. Through our work, we demonstrate what is effective in improving lives for children and families; we collect evidence directly from children and families to help us understand how current practice affects their lives; we develop and test promising, sustainable interventions in communities; and we gather and synthesise evidence from local partners, organisations in our sector, and academia. We draw on all this learning to work with colleagues to influence decision-makers and advocate for policy and practice change, with and on behalf of families.

As a Senior Evidence and Learning Adviser, you will:

• Develop strategies for generating evidence and learning, especially (but not exclusively) focussing on qualitative research, participatory practice and other open research and intelligence gathering approaches.
• Undertake primary research and evaluation, analysis and evidence syntheses.
• Support teams to implement evidence strategies, building their capacity and confidence to support evidence and learning practice and ensuring that the approaches put in place are rigorous and practical.
• Support teams in developing and using theories of change and outcomes frameworks and using data in all its forms to describe the impact of our work.
• Capture and disseminate our data and learning.

To be successful you will:

• Hold expertise in evaluation and evidence generation across a wide range of methods, although we are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with a strong technical background leading qualitative, ethnographic, innovation and participatory research practice.
• Have experience of and be confident in undertaking evaluation and research with both children and families and with marginalised groups.
• Hold expertise in learning and improvement methodologies and have experience of using data and evidence for improvement.
• Hold strong analytical skills, be able to interpret complex data and make it meaningful to others.
• Be adept at developing relationships and working with a wide range of individuals, teams and in different policy and practice contexts.
• Be a confident and experienced user of data analysis software, such as Nvivo or Atlas.ti

This is 14 month, fixed-term, maternity cover role. This contract is longer than 12 months to enable a smooth transition between the two roles.

Diversity & Inclusion 
To help us attract and encourage applications from a wide range of people, we are holding an open information session so that you can find out more about working at Save the Children, the UK Impact team and our vision and mission for children in the UK.

Save the Children UK is committed to diversity and equality of opportunity in all aspects of our work both external and internal. We strive to be an inclusive employer and particularly encourage applications from under-represented groups such as returning parents or carers who are re-entering work after a career break, people who are LGBT+, from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds, with a disability, impairment, learning difference or long-term condition, with caring responsibilities, from different nations and regions, and from less advantaged socioeconomic backgrounds.

At Save the Children we are committed to the safeguarding and protection of children in our work. We will do everything possible to ensure that only those who are suitable to work with children are recruited to work for us. This post is subject to a range of vetting checks including a criminal records disclosure.

If you share our belief in the power of children, join the fight. It takes relentless determination, creativity, and a commitment to real change. Because every child should be able to make their mark on their world and help to build a better future. We look forward to hearing from you.

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

You will advise on policy and advocacy in the space of the gender digital divide, ensuring that you are aware of policy and research in the space of digital, gender and rights and advising on the use, risks and benefits of a variety of social media and online tools for advocacy.

This role will require internal collaboration with policy and advocacy colleagues, external partnership with organisations specialised in digital policy and advocacy and keen participation in digital networks, including catalysts, champions and Plan International’s Areas of Global Distinctiveness.

About You

You bring a strong understanding of digital and technology trends and policy debates at the global level and experience in policy and influencing design, monitoring and evaluation, learning and knowledge management.

Experience in international work environments and an understanding of NGO structures, the girls and women’s equality movement and the UN human rights and humanitarian system is essential.

We believe it is our collective responsibility to put people before profit, centre people’s lived realities of oppression and step back to make space for marginalised voices to be heard. We recognise the need to understand where power inequalities exist in order to build a more just world.

Our goal is to design sustainable models to tackle the systemic inequity impacting marginalised individuals and communities across the U.K. and India. Our role is two-fold. We act as a support and anchor for those working on the frontline - this includes community groups, grassroots organisations, local councils, civil society, local leaders and businesses etc. We also leverage networks and influence to enact meaningful change at the policy level, in government and across business. We do this in four ways, by providing:

• Knowledge, frameworks and tools to facilitate concrete action;

• Resources and capacity for collaborative working;

• Expertise for impactful policy advocacy; and

• Immediate support and relief.

Our focus is across two key issue areas:

1. Tackling modern slavery and promoting labour rights; and

2. Tackling gender based violence (GBV), especially against racially minoritised women.

About our Priorities: 

Our work is wide-ranging and collaborative. In particular we are currently prioritising:

• Embedding labour rights and modern slavery provisions into policy. We ensure that local and national government policies meaningfully address modern slavery and labour rights violations and support survivors fully. This includes but also goes beyond the Modern Slavery Act. We work with policy-makers, local councils, government and regulatory bodies to make this happen.

• Shifting corporate practices towards more equitable power distribution. We provide expertise to ensure that business policies and practices meaningfully incorporate activities that address modern slavery and uphold labour rights. We work with small and medium businesses to make this happen.

• Improving statutory agency response to GBV against racially minoritised women. We advocate an improvement in statutory agency policy and practice when it comes to supporting racially minoritised survivors of GBV. This includes more consistent, integrated and tailored support for survivors who live at the intersections of multiple oppressions. We work with statutory local agencies, policy-makers and civil society to make this happen.

• Better resourcing racially minoritised communities. We work to equip racially minoritised communities with more and better resources to be able to respond to GBV and access support services in ways that work for them when violence does happen. We work with leaders or community-led organisations in racially minoritised communities as well as civil society to make this happen.

About the Role:

The Senior Program Manager will be responsible for leading the organisaiton’s programmatic priorities, as outlined above. While some projects are well established, new areas will emerge and therefore you should have experience with program design as well as implementation. It is preferable that you have some knowledge of both issue areas but we welcome applications from candidates that have only worked in one area before, if you are able to show an ability to pick up knowledge quickly. You will work with a range of stakeholders especially public sector bodies and small to medium businesses. It is preferable that you have experience working with both but we will also welcome applications from candidates with more experience in one than the other if you can demonstrate a willingness to learn. The small team environment means that this role involves significant responsibility as well as the opportunity to collaborate and interact with a diverse set of senior external stakeholders. You must be comfortable with a steep learning curve and significant responsibility from the outset.

We are a small team and will have a senior member of the team on maternity leave for the first six months of your time with us. As such, you will also temporarily be responsible for some of the organisation’s administration, financial management and budgeting. You will work closely with the founder and other senior members of the team and will have the opportunity to input on key strategic decisions. To begin with, you will have one direct report - this may expand over time. 

You will often be expected to act as the public face of the organisation, building relationships with stakeholders from across a range of sectors including government and public sector, business and civil society.

• Maintaining understanding of current key trends and how those can feed into the organisation’s work.

• Measuring progress and impact against strategic goals to report back to the senior management team. 

• Identifying funding opportunities and drafting applications, as required (this is not expected to be a large part of the role).

• Overseeing organisational and program-specific budgets (this is expected to be a temporary duty while our Managing Director is on maternity leave).
