Recrutement de 01 SENIOR HUMANITARIAN CHILD PROTECTION ADVISOR
SENIOR HUMANITARIAN CHILD PROTECTION ADVISOR (PART-TIME, 0.6 FTE)
The Opportunity

Save the Children International has an exciting internal opportunity for you to join the Centre as the Senior Humanitarian Child Protection Advisor (part-time). Open to internal Save the Children International employees, Save the Children member office employees and Alumni only.

Role Purpose:

In the immediate aftermath of a disaster or conflict, and throughout the transition from emergency response to recovery and sustainable development, Save the Children’s presence in 120 countries facilitates the rapid delivery of evidence-based and innovative interventions that address the major life-saving and protection needs of the world’s most vulnerable populations. Save the Children’s Centre Humanitarian Technical Team (CHTT) provides quality technical support and strategic direction to programs in humanitarian settings and conducts research, capacity strengthening, and global representation to improve future responses. The position will be part of the Centre Humanitarian Child Protection Team (CHTT) of the Centre Humanitarian Team, but the scope of this role may evolve to work with additional sector teams in the future.

In times of crisis, the specific protection, mental health and psychosocial support needs of LGBTQI+ children and their families are often overlooked. LGBTQI+ children and their families are disproportionately impacted by inequality and discrimination including criminalisation of their identity, and are at heightened risk of violence, exploitation and family breakdown. All child protection case management programmes are likely to include LGBTQI+ children, yet no guidance exists on how to work with them to understand and address the specific risks that they face in a way that avoids doing harm.

Save the Children has received funding from BPRM (the interagency PRISM Project, which is led by Save the Children and implemented under the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action) from October 2023 to October 2025 to improve the protection, mental health and psychosocial wellbeing of LGBTQI+ children and their families through child protection case management in humanitarian settings by engaging LGBTQI+ organisations in scoping lessons learnt and good practice and by developing, piloting and disseminating principles, guidance and tools. The Snr Humanitarian Child Protection Advisor will act as the technical lead for the PRISM Project, ensuring the implementation of timely, high quality project activities.

Specifically, the post holder will be accountable for (1) coordinating internal and external partners and stakeholders for the governance and delivery of the project outputs; (2) coordinating and managing the development of principles, guidance and tools to support the child protection case management of LGBTQI+ children and their families; and (3) engagement with country-level stakeholders to support piloting of principles, guidance and tools in humanitarian crises.
