Intervention Specialist

Reports to: Programme Regional Coordinator, with dotted line to the Inclusive and Safe Schools Lead

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 know this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it is girls who are most affected.

Working together with children, young people, supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges girls and vulnerable children face. 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.

For over 85 years, we have rallied other determined optimists to transform the lives of all children in more than 80 countries.

We won’t stop until we are all equal.

ROLE PURPOSE

The intervention Specialist will support the implementation of programme interventions across the three regions under their zonal assignment. Each intervention specialist will have a specialism in addition to supporting school improvement – this role focuses on gender and girls education and will provide additional support on that area across their zone.

DIMENSION OF THE ROLE

Shule Bora is supporting regions and LGAs to implement interventions. In order to ensure that the interventions can be planned, implemented and monitored as intended, the programme needs additional technical support at regional level to work closely with government counterparts.

The Intervention Specialist will support the implementation of programme activities across the three regions under their zonal assignment in order to achieve programme outputs and outcomes. S/he will provide support across all the interventions as required in his/her region as well as providing specific support across his/her zone (see above) on either girl education and gender, safety and safeguarding or disability inclusion.

The Intervention Specialist will work closely with the Programme Regional Coordinator to ensure that all interventions are delivered as planned in their region. This will involve close collaboration with technical leads and also regional and district stakeholders.

The Intervention Specialist will also provide support to the regional and district governments in planning, implementing and monitoring interventions to achieve disbursement-linked results under EPforR II.

Location: Dodoma

Closing Date: 14th March, 2025

Equality, diversity and inclusion

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.

Please note that Plan International will never send unsolicited emails requesting payment from candidates.
