UNICEF ensures more of the world's children are vaccinated, educated and protected than any other organisation. We have done more to influence laws and policies to help protect children than anyone else. We get things done. And we're not going to stop until the world is a safe place for all our children.

This is a great opportunity to join the UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) as a Professional Adviser in the Rights Respecting Schools Team.

Unicef UK's Rights Respecting Schools Award is an innovative and creative programme that aims to embed the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in the ethos and practice of schools.

The vision of the Programme is that all children in the UK learn in a right respecting school community where the UNCRC is fully embedded in values and practice.

Supported by a Senior Professional Adviser, you will promote the Rights Respecting Schools Programme in schools and local authorities, supporting schools to achieve and maintain their Rights Respecting Schools status.

You will contribute to the promotion, development and growth of the Programme within your region and will build relationships with key stakeholders.

A confident and results focused individual, you will have proven experience of working
strategically at a senior level with children and young people in UK schools. You will also
be an advocate for children's rights, demonstrating a strong commitment to the UNCRC.

Strong IT and communication skills are essential, including the ability to work efficiently remotely and to manage multiple demands and priorities.

Closing date: 5pm, Monday 6 March 2023.

Friday 17 March 2023 via video conferencing (MS Teams)

This post is a regional post so you will be required to work from your home.
We will happily discuss other flexible options to suit your circumstances.

We welcome a conversation about your flexible working requirements, personal growth, and promoting a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.
