Global Safeguarding Lead Jobs

Worldwide Veterinary Service is searching for an experienced and ambitious manager to lead the growth of our global education programme

This is an ideal role for an experienced project manager who wants to make lasting improvements to the lives of children and animals around the world.

Reporting to the Director of Policy at global animal welfare charity, Worldwide Veterinary Service (WVS), you will help grow and develop education programmes that protect children from key zoonotic disease and improve the relationship between animals and people.

One child dies from rabies every 10 minutes. Most victims are under the age of 15. Rabies is 100% fatal, but entirely vaccine preventable. Children just need the right information to protect themselves. WVS established Mission Rabies, a campaign that aims to eliminate rabies for good, in 2013. We have worked hard to reach 9.6 million children worldwide, but around half of the world’s 2 billion children at this age still live in rabies endemic countries. You will manage national education managers based across Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America to spread our core messages to a wider audience. This is essential if we are to deliver our goal to halve the number of people dying from rabies in the next 5 years.

We need someone who is ambitious, driven and wants the opportunity to make a difference by significantly growing their own programme of work.

As an organisation we are embracing hybrid working, and remote working within the UK could be considered for this role.

You should expect to travel to global project sites at least once per quarter.

Hackney Playbus believes that all children under five living in East London should have the opportunity to grow, thrive, and reach their potential. Our mission is to provide play, learning, and support to socially excluded families in East London, to encourage children’s early years development, and to strengthen families and communities.

We do this by:

• Making play and learning opportunities accessible to children aged 0-4 years old - we bring play out into the community!

• Providing a welcoming and relaxed setting where families can come together in their local community 

• Supporting parents and carers to feel confident in their knowledge and skills as a parent or carer

• Connecting families to support services

• Dedicating time and resources to outreach and community engagement

All our services are delivered in a way that is inclusive, friendly and welcoming. All services are free to attend.

Our Services

We run stay and play sessions from a bright and beautiful double-decker bus that has been converted into a mobile early years community play space for families. Our sessions take place both inside and outside the Playbus in different locations across Hackney, providing a rich play and learning environment for children aged 0-4yrs old and a welcoming space for their parents and carers. We listen to the needs of parents and carers and help families to access support services where needed. 

As well as our Playbus sessions, we bring our informal, welcoming approach to baby groups that we run in community settings.

Our Team and Our Approach 

We value the positive impact of difference within our organisation and want our team to reflect the diverse cultures, ethnicities, languages and experiences of the families who participate in our activities. We particularly encourage applications from people from Global Majority backgrounds, those who speak a language spoken by local communities in Hackney, and those with lived experience of bringing up children in challenging circumstances. 

We work collaboratively at Hackney Playbus, recognising that every team member has valuable life experiences, skills and interests to contribute to the project. We learn from one another and value each other’s insights and opinions. We work collectively as far as possible to share decision-making as well as the workload, supporting each other to develop and grow within our roles, wherever our role sits within the organisation. 

Leadership Approach

At Hackney Playbus, we believe decisions should be driven by those closest to the issues we aim to address. This community-focused approach is central to our success. Children and families are integral to shaping our Theory of Change and Strategic Plan, and the involvement of staff and volunteers in planning, decision-making, and service delivery adds value, diversity and strength to our organisation. 

Our leadership structure reflects this collaborative approach. The Co-Directors share responsibility for the organisation,with the Co-Director for Operations taking responsibility for service delivery, the early years staff team, monitoring and evaluating the service and safeguarding, while the Co-Director for Strategy & Finance leads on strategy, partnerships, policies, asset management, and finances. We believe that both of these aspects of the organisation’s directorship are equally important and work together in co-operation and healthy tension to deliver the co-produced Strategic Plan alongside staff, volunteers, families and partners. Both Co-Directors report regularly and work collaboratively with the Board of Trustees.
