Company Plan International

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

We have an exciting opportunity to join the ‘SOYEE’ Skills and Opportunities
for Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship Collaboration Hub as Policy and
Advocacy Lead. The Hub aims to build young people’s skills and employability
in preparation for work in all contexts, including waged employment and
entrepreneurship opportunities, improving household economic security and
financial inclusion and engaging with the private sector to provide learning
and work opportunities for young people, especially young women.

You will lead Plan International’s gender transformative policy and advocacy
work that creates large scale change for girls, supporting overall global
policy and advocacy that protects and advances girls’ rights at the
international level, and the development of holistic programme and influencing
models. You will share expertise and knowledge, both internally and
externally, to embed gender transformative policy and advocacy at all levels
and in all contexts across Plan International in our journey to tackle the
root causes of discrimination against girls – exclusion and vulnerability.

About You

You bring proven experience developing SOYEE policy positions and advocacy
work with international actors in humanitarian and development settings in a
country, multi country or global setting. A robust understanding of SOYEE
models and approaches in both rural and urban settings is

highly desirable.

We are seeking a Policy Lead who is not only well versed in the policy space
but has solid practice understanding and applying in different contexts and
lived experience in the countries where Plan International has programmes and
an understanding of NGO structures, the girls and women’s equality movement
and the UN human rights and humanitarian system.

Equality, diversity and inclusion is at the very heart of everything that Plan
International stands for.

We want Plan International to reflect the diversity of the communities we work
with, offering equal opportunities to everyone regardless of age, disability,
gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity,
race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.

Plan International is based on a culture of inclusivity and we strive to
create a workplace environment that ensures every team, in every office, in
every country, is rich in diverse people, thoughts, and ideas.

We foster an organisational culture that embraces our commitment to racial
justice, gender equality, girls’ rights and inclusion.

Plan International believes that in a world where children face so many
threats of harm, it is our duty to ensure that we, as an organisation, do
everything we can to keep children safe. This means that we have particular
responsibilities to children that we come into contact with and we must not
contribute in any way to harming or placing children at risk.

A range of pre-employment checks will be undertaken in conformity with Plan
International’s Safeguarding Children and Young People policy. Plan
International also participates in the Inter Agency Misconduct Disclosure
Scheme. In line with this scheme we will request information from applicants
previous employers about any findings of sexual exploitation, sexual abuse
and/or sexual harassment during employment, or incidents under investigation
when the applicant left employment. By submitting an application, the job
applicant confirms their understanding of these recruitment procedures.
