1 month ago


London, United Kingdom The UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) Full time

Job description

**Part home/Part office (London) based**

UNICEF ensures more of the world’s children are vaccinated, educated and protected than any other organisation. We have done more to influence laws and policies to help protect children than anyone else. We get things done. And we’re not going to stop until the world is a safe place for all our children.

This is a great opportunity to join the UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) as a Professional Adviser in the Rights Respecting Schools team.

This role will be primarily based at home with occasional attendance at our Stratford office plus school visits and meetings with allocated Boroughs. We are particularly looking to expand our team in London, south of the river Thames.

UNICEF UK’s Rights Respecting Schools Award is an innovative and creative Programme that aims to embed the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in the ethos and practice of schools. The vision of the Programme is that all children in the UK learn in a rights respecting school community where the CRC is fully embedded in values and practice.

Supported by a Senior Professional Advisor, you will promote the RRS Programme in schools and your allocated London boroughs, supporting schools to achieve and maintain their rights representing practice. You will contribute to the promotion, development and growth of the Programme within your region and will build relationships with key stakeholders.
A confident and results focused individual, you will have proven experience of working strategically at a senior level with children and young people in UK schools. You will also be an advocate for children’s rights, demonstrating a strong commitment to the CRC.
Strong IT and communication skills are essential, including the ability to work efficiently, remotely and to manage multiple demands and priorities.

**Closing date: 10am, Tuesday 26 March 2024.**

**Interview date: Tuesday 16 April 2024 **via video conferencing (MS Teams).

**In return, we offer**:

- excellent pay and benefits (including flexible working, generous annual leave and pension, big brand discounts and wellbeing tools)
- outstanding training and learning opportunities and the support to flourish in your role
- impressive open plan office space and facilities on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
- an open culture and workplace with colleagues who share our values, enjoy their work and are motivated to do their utmost for children.
- the opportunity to work in a leading children’s organisation making a difference to children around the world

We anticipate most colleagues will work one or two days a week in the office on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, East London and the rest of the time from home. **We will happily discuss other flexible options to suit your circumstances.**

We welcome a conversation about your flexible working requirements, personal growth, and promoting a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.
