Save the Children

Position: Consultancy contract Save The Children – Ukraine Country Office

Duration: 1 month

Expected starting date: ASAP

Objective

Save the Children Ukraine is looking to establish a consultancy agreement for adapting the available methodology and providing the Training of Trainers (ToT).

The primary objective of the assignment is to amend the existing methodology and materials for child training, particularly condensing it from 5 days to meet a 2-day or 3-day length (to be decided based on the suggestions from the consultant at the inception stage) and to focus it on child rights campaigning/advocacy, and to deliver a training of trainers (ToT) on the adapted methodology.

Building on existing training resources, the consultant will be expected to develop training content tailored to the Ukrainian context. Training modules should include detailed session plans, handouts, reading materials and facilitation guides.

This consultancy will require work under the technical supervision of the Advocacy Director at Save the Children. The consultant will be in regular communication with Save the Children staff via email, audio or video conferencing, and incorporate feedback from the Save the Children in the deliverables.

All Save the Children employees and consultants are expected to work in accordance with the organization’s safeguarding policies, code of conduct, and core values: creativity, accountability, integrity, collaboration, and ambition. These attitudes and beliefs guide our actions and relationships.

Location and official travel involved
