Street Child believes that every child deserves the chance to go to school and learn. Our projects focus on a combination of education, child protection and livelihood support to address the social, economic, and structural issues that underpin today’s education crisis. We partner with local organisations and communities to deliver our locally rooted programmes, using evidence to drive learning and the refinement and scale up of programmes to create maximum impact for the most children at the lowest cost. We pride ourselves on being willing to go to the world’s toughest places where others won’t, including remote, hard-to-reach areas and fragile, disaster-affected states across sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Since 2008 we have helped over 500,000 children to go to school and learn and supported over 33,000 caregivers to set up businesses so they can afford the cost of educating their children.
This role reports to the senior program manager. The child protection specialist is responsible to provide technical support to the ongoing CIC/SC all child protection projects implemented across multiple provinces and at the same time the post holder is responsible to lead the mentorship of all child protection case workers, case management officers, social workers and build their technical capacity to achieve their personal, project and organizational goals.
CIC/SC also expects this post to conduct initial orientation sessions related to child protection, case management, risk analysis, child protection concerns, information management, data protection protocol, SOPs, and other key relevant topics to the newly recruited staff before going to the field and start the field operation their capacities need to build, and their level of technical information must be scaled up.
The child protection specialist must review the child protection case workers, case management officers weekly, biweekly, and monthly reports and give feedback and recommendations for scaling up the improvement of the reports and achievements and maintain the proper offline and online filing system.
We expect this role to keep all the positions of case workers and case management officers onboard by timely attending in panel and communicating with the human resource department. At the end of the project, the post holder should conduct a performance evaluation of all project case workers and share the result with the HR department.
