Job Description

Come join our Pacific team and support our ambition to address gender equality and social inclusion for Pacific children, families and communities. We need your unrivalled knowledge and experience to ensure high quality programming and advocacy. Be the voice of gender equality and social inclusion in all that we do.

Save the Children is no ordinary not-for-profit.

We’re ambitious, creative and outspoken. We stand up for children’s rights. We want all children to be educated, healthy and live a life free from violence. We run programs in Australia and overseas and, if there’s a disaster – like an earthquake, drought or conflict – we are there on the ground.

Where you come in:

Reporting to the Regional Director of Pacific Program Development and Quality, you will be part of the Pacific team, and provide support Save the Children to advance Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion into proposals and programming across the region. This is a full-time permanent position, based in the Pacific, Australia or New Zealand.

You will make an impact by:

• Leading on advancing our Pacific Regional Strategy to be a global leader in addressing gender equality and inclusion.
• Providing support to develop inclusive and transformative programmes and support gender and disability-specific and mainstreaming approaches throughout the project lifecycle
• Scoping new business development opportunities including leading and contributing to the development of proposals to secure funding for Pacific humanitarian and development programs, including addressing donor requirements on gender, disability and social inclusion.
• Facilitate the Pacific GEDSI Community of Practice and strengthening the coordination of, and the capacity amongst, the GEDSI Coordinators in our Pacific Country Offices.
• Improving monitoring, evaluation and reporting on gender equality, disability and social inclusion in humanitarian and development programs.
• Strengthening relationships with civil society organisations, Ministries and regional initiatives focussed upon strengthening equality and rights for women, girls and people with disabilities.

Does this sound like you?

…You have expert knowledge and experience of gender and/or disability mainstream and specific approaches, particularly in the Pacific context. Building capacity through training and mentoring, your experience has seen you contribute to transformative program design, implementation and monitoring. Your outstanding communication skills, flexibility and resilience will see you achieve great outcomes for vulnerable children whilst working with multiple teams and stakeholders.

This role requires:

• Demonstrated results in leading gender equality, disability and social inclusion mainstreaming at programmatic levels
• Experience in gender and/or disability data collection methods and analysis in humanitarian and development programs
• Demonstrated experience in delivering participatory and/or remote training and mentoring in humanitarian and development programs
• Understanding and implementation of child rights programming and human rights-based approaches
• Experience in providing expert gender, disability and social inclusion inputs and content towards developing funding proposals and tenders in humanitarian and development programs
• Accountability in implementing, managing and / or providing technical assistance to programs, preferably in the Pacific

Working at Save the Children is more than just a job.

It’s the feeling of knowing that your work is contributing to making the world a better place for children and working with others who feel the same. In addition to a connection to social causes, you will have access to:

• Opportunity to work on additional projects alongside business as usual
• Individual learning plans to assist in your career development
• Internal employment and development opportunities
• Friendly and flexible work environment
• Agile work environment including working from home
• Child friendly work environment
• Generous salary plus full salary packaging benefits (use this link to see how much this benefit could mean to you!)
