Deployable Water Sanitation & Hygiene Specialist at Plan International
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.
The Opportunity
Our new global strategy prioritises humanitarian scale up.
- To respond to the growing unmet needs in emergencies and to strengthen the speed, quality, relevance and appropriateness of our emergency response and readiness work, we have recently created four new global humanitarian capability units, including the new Global Hunger Response and Resilience Unit, under which the food security livelihoods and nutrition, WASH and Cash and Voucher Assistance portfolio is located.
The Deployable WASH Specialist will be required to be deployed to Plan International Country Offices for 75% of the time for a period of up to three months continuously, sometimes into hostile/crisis settings at short notice to provide technical assistance to country offices.
- This position demands technical knowledge, training experience, and work experience in a wide range of humanitarian contexts.
- As Deployable WASH Specialist you will ensure technical soundness of the WASH interventions in the Hunger and other humanitarian Crisis response covered by the Plan International.
WASH intervention assistance in the standalone water, sanitation and hygiene programming and, critically, also the integration of WASH within other elements of Plan’s life-saving intervention including Food Crisis response such as food distribution, school feeding, nutrition, cash and voucher assistance in addition to education and child protection and care in health facilities as a fundamental pre-requisite for maximising the effectiveness of these interventions.
- In collaboration with Country Offices, regional management and National Organisations you will advise and support high performing country teams to improve their WASH intervention approaches, strategy and practice, ensuring specific WASH/GEDSI (Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion) outcomes are included, and explore WASH and integrated programming related funding opportunities, ensuring accountability for meeting targets, and maintaining alignment with the Plan International global strategy.
