Deputy-Chief of Party - Finance and Administration, Global Fund

L' Organisation

Plan International est une organisation humanitaire et de développement indépendante (organisme caritatif/à but non lucratif/de bienfaisance - sélectionnez le terme approprié pour votre public clé) qui fait la promotion des droits des enfants et de l’égalité des filles.

Nous sommes convaincus du pouvoir et du potentiel de chaque enfant. Mais cela est souvent étouffé par la pauvreté, la violence, l’exclusion et la discrimination. Et ce sont les filles qui sont les plus touchées.

En collaborant avec les enfants, les jeunes, nos défenseurs et nos partenaires, nous essayons d’obtenir un monde juste, en abordant les causes des obstacles que les filles et tous les enfants vulnérables doivent surmonter.

Nous soutenons les droits des enfants de la naissance à l’âge adulte. Et nous permettons aux enfants de se préparer et de réagir aux crises et à l’adversité. Grâce à notre portée, notre expérience et nos connaissances, nous favorisons les changements dans la pratique et la politique au niveau local, national et global.

Depuis plus de 85 ans, nous bâtissons de puissants partenariats pour les enfants et nous sommes actifs dans plus de 75 pays.

Equality, diversity and inclusion is at the very heart of everything that Plan International stands for.

We want Plan International to reflect the diversity of the communities we work with, offering equal opportunities to everyone regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.

Plan International is based on a culture of inclusivity and we strive to create a workplace environment that ensures every team, in every office, in every country, is rich in diverse people, thoughts, and ideas.

We foster an organisational culture that embraces our commitment to racial justice, gender equality, girls’ rights and inclusion.

Plan International believes that in a world where children face so many threats of harm, it is our duty to ensure that we, as an organisation, do everything we can to keep children safe. This means that we have particular responsibilities to children that we come into contact with and we must not contribute in any way to harming or placing children at risk.

A range of pre-employment checks will be undertaken in conformity with Plan International's Safeguarding Children and Young People policy. Plan International also participates in the Inter Agency Misconduct Disclosure Scheme. In line with this scheme we will request information from applicants previous employers about any findings of sexual exploitation, sexual abuse and/or sexual harassment during employment, or incidents under investigation when the applicant left employment. By submitting an application, the job applicant confirms their understanding of these recruitment procedures.

Please note that Plan International will never send unsolicited emails requesting payment from candidates.
