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.

You will have demonstrable ability to develop high quality proposals and/or tenders for institutional and/ or major partner donors, working remotely with multiple countries and partners within tight time frames. You will have proven programme development experience, ideally with a strong technical background in at least one of our priority themes: education, child protection, sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), climate, environment and resilience (CER), and youth economic empowerment (YEE).  You will also have experience managing others, with the ability to motivate, coach and support the learning and development of a team to ensure that the team works effectively together, and team targets are achieved.

Highly organised, you will enjoy collaborating with colleagues to develop proposals, and be able to contribute to how we bring our values and Feminist Leadership Principles to life through our work.
