Farringdon, United Kingdom Save the Children Full time

**About Us**

***We are Save the Children. Together, we fight for children every single day so that they can make their mark on the world and build a better future. We stand side by side with children in the toughest places to be a child. We do whatever it takes to make sure they survive, get the protection when they're in danger, and have the chance to learn

Save the Children has an ambitious strategy to ensure that, by 2030, all children survive, lean and are protected from all forms of violence. The humanitarian department supports both the strengthening of our organisation's humanitarian capability as well as acknowledging the need to also support change within the humanitarian system in order to address the increasing frequency and severity of emergencies world-wide. The department is committed to build a stringer workplace culture, prioritising the wellbeing and resilience of those within it.

***About the Start Network**

Start Network is a global membership of close to 100 civil society organisations, working across six continents, to tackle what we see as the biggest systemic problems in the global humanitarian system. Start Network is an independent charity that works with Save the Children, as a grant custodian for some Start Network initiatives.

Start Network solutions:

- Locally led action: Shifting power and resources and decentralising decision-making to locally led networks and organisations.
- Early and rapid financing: Building a global financing system that reduces risk, anticipates, and acts ahead of predictable crises.
- Community led innovation: Incentivising innovative, locally led, and contextual solutions and learning from them together with people affected by crises.

For more information about Start Network, please visit the website.

Start Network was formerly hosted within Save the Children UK (SCUK), where it was incubated since its establishment in 2010. When Start Network registered as an independent charity in 2019, the Start Programmes comprising Start Funds and Crisis Anticipation and Risk Financing continued to be hosted by SCUK as Grant Custodian to Start Network. A Grant Custodian Agreement is in-place, which describes the roles and commitments of each entity.

The Head of Start Funds (Start Programmes) is a role contracted and line-managed by SCUK with matrix-management by Start Network.

For more information on the SCUK and Start Network arrangements please refer to the FAQ document here**.**
