Plan International UK is a global children’s charity striving for an equal world. One where every child can reach their full potential and every girl can choose her own future.
We bring people together to protect children’s rights and keep girls safe, in school and in control of their bodies – even when disaster strikes. And we won’t stop until we are all equal.
In this role, you will support the development of Plan International UK’s disasters and emergencies portfolio, including programming that addresses disaster risk, and strengthens community resilience. You will also develop and manage a geographic-focused portfolio of humanitarian projects. The role involves working across various areas, including grant management, programme development, and will require relationship building both internally and externally. You will provide technical support on Early Childhood Development in Emergencies (ECDiE) to projects and other initiatives as well as the opportunity to actively participate in ECD working groups and networks, representing Plan International UK internally and externally.
You will need a solid background in designing and implementing humanitarian and/or DRR-Resilience projects and in securing and overseeing projects from major humanitarian donors (such as FCDO, DEC, ECW, Start Network, and UN). You will also have experience working in a consortium to raise and manage major donor grants and the proven ability to develop and oversee grant-funded programmes across all phases of the programme cycle. You’ll be able to demonstrate good knowledge of Early Childhood Development in Emergencies and gender-responsive programming.
For further details of this role, please see the job profile. Please note that this is a UK-based role, and we are unable to offer international contracts.
