Senior Humanitarian Advisor (CPAOR)

Role Purpose:
Note: This position holds the designation of Senior Advisor within Save the Children’s internal organisational framework. When seconded to UNICEF, the incumbent will assume the title of Child Protection Area of Responsibility (CP AoR) Information Management Officer.
Save the Children, in partnership with the Global Child Protection Area of Responsibility (CP AoR), is hiring a Case Management IM Senior Advisor, to support and embed project activities and tools within country-level child protection coordination groups and case management task forces and to leverage analysis to inform coordination of humanitarian responses, including strategic decision-making, planning and advocacy. The Global CP AoR’s mandate, under UNICEF as the Cluster Lead Agency for Child Protection, is to provide regular leadership, guidance, and technical support to inter-agency child protection (CP) coordination groups across more than 25 humanitarian contexts, ensuring well-coordinated and quality responses. To this end, the Global CP AoR and country coordination groups lead on and contribute to inter-agency situation monitoring and needs analysis, strategic planning, response monitoring, and advocacy among other core functions — all of which involve inter-agency case management coordination.
During 2023, UNICEF and UNHCR led a process on behalf of the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action to define categories for child protection risks, and vulnerabilities. While UNICEF will lead the incorporation of data categories into the updated set of global case management (CM) forms, StC, in coordination with the Case Management IM Senior Advisor, will support the process of rolling out, adapting, and aligning data categories in light of what is already used in-country. The Case Management IM Senior Advisor will then provide technical support and guidance on meaningful, useful data analysis to child protection case management actors, to identify trends, needs, and gaps. This will further support trend analysis not only at country level but also regional and global level. In addition, further work is needed to standardize costing for child protection in humanitarian action case management, to ensure funding asks more accurately and predictably reflect what it takes to address the nature and scale of child protection needs in humanitarian crises in line with minimum standards.
Through this work, the Case Management IM Senior Advisor will not only assist with the application and adaptation of tools and project outputs at the response level but also contribute to data interpretation and trends analysis that will better inform situation and needs monitoring and analysis along with response planning and implementation.
In the event of a major humanitarian emergency, the role holder will be expected to work outside the normal role profile and be able to vary working hours accordingly.
QUALIFICATIONS

An advanced university degree (Master’s or higher) in information management, information systems, data science, statistics, or related field.
Relevant professional experience in information management, data science, statistics, or related field.

Fluency in English. Additional fluency in French, Arabic and/or Spanish would be desired.

EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS

Comply with Save the Children and UNICEF policies and practice with respect to child protection, code of conduct, health and safety, equal opportunities and other relevant policies and procedures.
Experience in delivering high quality humanitarian programmes and providing technical support.
Strong experience in capacity building and mentoring
Experience in child protection case management information management is essential.
Experience in child protection cluster coordination management would be an advantage.
