Reintegration Advisor

We are a growing organisation, working with children and partner organisations in challenging environments. We’re focused on child protection, education and livelihoods and our projects range from providing short term psychosocial support to children affected by conflict to supporting the development of sustainable child protection systems. The conflict settings where we work range from acute emergencies of Yemen and CAR to the protracted humanitarian crises of DRC and Afghanistan.

A phenomenon we often see in our countries of operation is that of children recruited to serve in armed groups and forces. Either from organised or spontaneous demobilisation these children find themselves returning to their communities, but in need of significant support to reintegrate into society. For several years War Child has been developing programmatic expertise and a global influencing profile in the field of supporting the reintegration of children formerly associated with armed forces and groups. In 2019 we made the decision to distil our lessons learned, develop programmatic tools and enhance our advocacy so that War Child will be in a position to share our experience with the wider sector, donors and other institutions. This role will lead on bringing these elements together and ensuring that War Child has a powerful and influential voice on reintegration.
