Community Support Coordinator
Background Information
About ISEAL:
ISEAL is an international non-profit organisation that codifies best practice for the design and implementation of social and environmental standards systems. ISEAL shapes the context in which voluntary standards systems operate, by defining what good practice looks like for the sector, as well as through influencing how external stakeholders think about and engage with credible voluntary standards systems.
At the core of the ISEAL Alliance is a network of organisations that work together to improve the operation of voluntary standards and certification. Our members include most of the leading social and environmental standards systems worldwide (e.g. Forest Stewardship Council, the Marine Stewardship Council, and the Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International). They are supported by a wide range of organisations, from research institutions to capacity building organisations to certification bodies, who participate in the ISEAL Alliance as affiliates. Collectively, this diverse group of actors makes up the ISEAL Community. Community participants cooperate on technical and policy-related issues through workshops, field projects and knowledge exchange, building on our recently developed online learning community. We are actively seeking new members and affiliates and are drawing up an expanded programme of activities to support them.
What We Offer:
This position offers an excellent basis to develop your skills and knowledge of voluntary standards and sustainability and could lead to a more programmatic role in this sector. It will bring you in contact with our member organisations as well as help you learn about technical content and wider developments in the world of sustainability and social and environmental standards.
You will be responsible for guiding applications and renewals for the network of organisations and individuals that participate in ISEAL’s Learning Community. As a small network, we offer the potential to help create a more coordinated and vibrant community of organisations that are learning from each other and helping to improve the social and environmental impacts of the voluntary standards movement. You will also administer our Independent Evaluation Mechanism in which technical experts will assess member compliance with our Codes of Good Practice.
In addition to the above, this position will include support to other ISEAL programmes and additional coordination of the ISEAL Community, including the staging of our annual conference which brings together organisations from all over the world. You will provide programmatic support functions to technical projects like our Assurance Code development project. We expect that this position will grow over time to encompass other programme responsibilities and support to our members and affiliates.
What We Seek:
Coordinating our community of members and affiliates require someone with excellent organisational and administrative skills. You like to take a systems approach to your work and to be organised and efficient. You have the ability to create effective systems for managing and building a complex environment and are comfortable working on multiple projects simultaneously.
As the first point of contact in ISEAL for new organisations, you are good with people and are confident reaching out to new contacts across continents and cultures. You are comfortable eliciting information from people about their work. You have had previous experience coordinating or working on complex projects, either in a professional or voluntary capacity.
You are outgoing and confident and have gained experience working, interning or volunteering with a non-governmental or professional organization, ideally one centered on a sustainability mission. Importantly, you have a reasonable knowledge of voluntary standards and certification, potentially through experience interacting with one or more ISEAL Alliance members.
You are enthused by the prospect of helping to build the profile and impact of a small (13 staff) organization with a global reach. You have an interest in voluntary standards, want to learn more about credible standards systems and how they work, and are committed to improving the social and environmental impacts of the voluntary standards movement.

Water/Civil Engineer Program Manager International Rescue Committee (IRC)
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. At work today in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities, we restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to home.
The IRC launched a Governance and Rights program in February 2011, which builds on the results of the Protection/Rule of Law program of the past three years, working to strengthen community-based systems to make decisions, manage resources and diffuse conflict.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. At work today in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities, we restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to home.
South Sudan is emerging from decades of brutal civil war rooted in disputes over religion, ethnicity, resources, governance and self-determination. The 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement ushered in an era of post-conflict development efforts which are taking on new dimensions following the January 2011 referendum on secession. The security situation remains fragile and testing operational challenges abound.
SCOPE OF WORK:
The Protection Manager will oversee the protection monitoring program and protection mainstreaming programming in five states of South Sudan. In this capacity, the Protection Manager will be responsible for day-to-day supervision and oversight of village assessments, monitoring teams, training teams, budget usage, administration and implementation of all protection projects and activities.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
The Protection Manager will report to the Protection Coordinator. The Protection Manager will manage staff in Juba and four field locations. Duties shall include:
• Create and execute a work plan, spending plan and related systems to ensure that project deadlines are met and targets achieved.
• Supervise and support the national staff protection monitoring teams to complete village assessments, focus group discussions and individual interviews focused on protection concerns.
• Supervise and support the national staff training teams to deliver community-level human rights trainings, human rights trainings for local government officials and partners, and establish and support community-level protection committees.
• Provide leadership, guidance, and support to national staff through regular supervision and feedback on performance.
• Build the capacity of national staff to improve their range of capabilities related to the protection program and its activities.
• Process, compile, and submit Village Assessment Forms, protection summaries, and analytical protection reports in a timely manner.
• Ensure that monitoring visits respect principles of confidentiality of interviewees and that all incidents reported to IRC are handled with due regard to protection principles.
• Liaise with UNHCR and other partners, particularly through the protection cluster, to disseminate findings and identify additional support for communities to address needs highlighted during return monitoring.
• Provide concrete recommendations on areas of service provision and intervention for governments, humanitarian agencies and donors, based on community-identified needs.
• Represent IRC in relevant coordination forums to share information and advocate on protection concerns identified through monitoring.
• Establish relationships with other NGOs, international organizations, government offices, and local NGOs/CBOs, particularly those working in protection.
• Other relevant duties as assigned
REQUIREMENTS

• Strong interpersonal, intercultural and communication skills
• Demonstrated analytical skills and report writing experience required
• Demonstrated training and facilitation experience
• Willingness to frequently travel to – and stay overnight in – field locations, including occasionally in villages without electricity, running water, mobile phone network or internet.

Security: The security level is yellow. Major concerns are common criminality, presence of armed troops, tribal violence.
Housing: The position is based in Juba. Lodging is a private bedroom in a shared guest house – with electricity, internet and cable TV. Food is the individual’s responsibility.
There will be significant overnight travel in all geographic areas of implementation where conditions are more basic.
