Liberia Emergeny Child Protection Manager

Save the Children has been working in Liberia since 1991 working to reduce the abandonment and separation of children caused by poverty and ongoing conflict. At this exciting time in our history, we are implementing protection, education, health and child rights governance programme. We work directly with children and their families and build capacities of the communities, civil society and government agencies to develop long term mechanisms to meet the rights of children in Liberia.

We are currently responding to the needs of children and their families that have crossed over to Liberia due to the post-election uncertainties in Ivory Coast. We are looking for dynamic, committed and highly competent individuals to manage the protection work in the refugee camps and the host communities where the refugees are living.

We are seeking for a qualified protection professional with solid background and demonstrated experience and leadership skills in child protection programme to provide management and technical guidance in the development, implementation and monitoring of the child protection interventions. S/he will proactively network with other actors involved in the emergency at the field level including local government, INGOs and others present within Nimba.
