Location: Flexible home based - Latin America region* 1

Contract type: Fixed term contract (February/March - June 2021)

Working hours: Part time - 3.5 days per week

Grade: C

Reporting to: Member Engagement Coordinator (based in New Zealand)

Responsible for: N/A

 

Job Purpose:

 

Family for Every Child (Family) is currently launching a Community of Practice (CoP), bringing members together through a global on-line learning digital platform, with the aim to support the wider care sector through a number of external communities, each with their own challenges and learning to share. The aim is to build an interactive digital channel for exchange and sharing, creating a community of practitioners driving forward care reform.

 

This role supports the overall CoP, which currently includes the following external communities:

 



  • Care during COVID-19



    • Established to capture the learning and emerging practice from communities who are dealing with the disruption COVID-19 is causing and share it more widely, supporting civil society organisations to adapt, learn and develop their responses.

     



  • RISE Learning Network

    RISE is a live project implemented by Family in 2015. The aim of the project in its first phase (from 2015 - 2018) was to promote and facilitate learning on Recovery and Reintegration (R&R) approaches that improve outcomes for children and adolescents affected by sexual exploitation (CSE). RISE itself has been working as a CoP on R&R issues, where members exchange information, resources, and they mentor each other on new approaches and tools. In the current situation of the COVID-19 pandemic, RISE emerges as a platform that can be leveraged to facilitate a CoP among organisations and networks of civil society organisations to promote evidence based learning on response and support for children, their families and communities to therefore reduce their higher risks to violence and abuse, including sexual violence due to this pandemic.




  • Emerging priority areas

    While initially much of the focus will be related to COVID-19, the overall goal of the platform is to be the foremost space for local civil society organisations and practitioners working in children’s care and protection to engage on sector issues. Additional communities related to Children on the Move, Kinship Care and the Lived Experience Platform are also in the pipeline.

    The main objectives of this CoP are to:

    ● Identify common themes, that will be based on the pertinent issues in the respective context of organisations and those that are common to each other to be able to nurture and strengthen that learning. The primary focus will remain sexual violence affecting children but will also include other related issues impacting protection and care of children and families
    ● Solve problems, by sparking dialogue about COVID-19 response related to child violence prevention, protection and care
    ● Share knowledge, by promoting learning, knowledge generation and information exchange to improve practice in the ground. One of our main tasks will be to develop new knowledge that will improve the quality of services provided to children by finding, collating, organising and distributing the knowledge that our members use or might find helpful, particularly looking at filling knowledge gaps.
    ● Adapt, validate and disseminate good practices, by giving greater visibility to projects, research and initiatives that are proving successful to amplify and localize where possible. This will also contribute to Family’s How We Care’s special learning series on COVID-19.
    ● Build capacity in all aspects of COVID-19 response regarding child violence prevention, protection and care, with specific focus on sexual violence affecting children
    ● Enable innovation, as our CoP is focused on new and emerging areas of knowledge where there are opportunities to innovate. Our interactions can provide the basis for rapid dissemination of new ideas and resources.
    ● Facilitate networking, by encouraging collaboration among CoP members in different countries, regions and worldwide to build a globally accessible pool of resources. We will focus on facilitating connections between global experts who might not otherwise interact.
    ● Support advocacy, by strengthening connections for a more effective advocacy work at national, regional and international level

    A variety of formats and technologies are being developed to facilitate and promote the activities of the CoP through:
    ● Regular webinars, podcasts, workshops and practitioner guidance papers
    ● Setting up smaller working groups to pilot specific initiatives (for example, setting up helplines, shelter management, research, alternative care methods, etc.)
    ● Contributing to national, regional and global advocacy initiatives wherever possible, using Family and the RISE Learning Network platforms
    ● Inviting thematic experts to present and support the CoP members as and when required through online events
    ● A communications campaign, and ongoing email communications

    Scope and Limits of Authority: The post holder is expected to organise their own day-to-day activities according to the overall priorities and timescales set, and to exercise sound judgement in many critical decision-making areas.

    ● This role does not have budgetary responsibility.

    7. Identifying community highlights and sharing within email newsletters
