We may consider applications from candidates who are resident and willing to work from one of our international offices, if they have a right to work there. In this instance, a local competitive compensation package would apply.

The EiE Advisor will provide critical support and coach country teams and London-based colleagues in designing and implementing quality EiE projects that are inclusive, gender- and conflict-sensitive, using participatory approaches, in both emergency and post-conflict settings. You will advise and support country offices and partners in designing programmes, reviewing educational curriculum, improving approaches and ensuring high quality technical input based on international standards in current and future educational programmes.
