At Save the
Children Australia we pride ourselves on our will to embrace change and mould
our programs to suit the ever-changing needs of communities across Australia,
the Pacific and beyond. There is no
such thing as the status quo; we are constantly adapting to strive for maximum
impact. Channel
your expertise to the benefit of children, families and communities across the
world. We need your unrivalled knowledge and experience to ensure high quality health
programming in internationally funded programs.
Save the Children is no ordinary not-for-profit.
We’re
ambitious, creative and outspoken. We stand up for children’s rights. We want
all children to be educated, healthy and live a life free from violence. We run programs in Australia and overseas
and, if there’s a disaster - like an earthquake, drought or conflict – we are
there on the ground.
Where
you come in:
Based in Port Vila, Vanuatu you will provide technical leadership and advice
for the design, implementation and monitoring of health programme-related
activities by Save the Children in Vanuatu, notably in the fields of Nutrition,
and Sexual and Reproductive Health. Your willingness to travel for up to
30% of your time to support programme implementation, occasionally work unusual
hours and occasionally in stressful conditions will see you become an integral
member of the Save the Children Vanuatu team.
You will make an impact by:
- Designing and
supporting delivery of high quality health programmes in Vanuatu
- Coordinating Save the
Children’s health programme activities in Vanuatu through active participation
in coordination meetings and working groups.
- Establishing
systems for health programme monitoring, quality improvement, accountability,
evaluation and learning
- Ensuring
that learning and results are captured, shared and used to inform future
programmes.
If we could compose the perfect you…
