Closing date8 Sep 2021
Role Overview
Provide risk management support to human rights and environmental defense organisations to review and improve operational security management, with both in-field and remote working requirements (including in high-risk territories).
What We Are Looking For
We are currently expanding our team and are looking for someone that has the capability to further develop our risk management programme curriculum and strategies, as well as support the groups we work with through devising and delivering workshops (both virtual and in-person).
Our model is to work with organisations over a longer period of time rather than a one-off training and candidates should be committed to tailoring their approach around concepts that aim to build capacity at the local level within the individuals, communities and organisations we work with in order for support solutions to be sustainable.
We believe a well-rounded and balanced team is made up of diverse people that bring different perspectives and experiences to contribute.
Responsibilities & Tasks:
Create and review holistic security risk management frameworks appropriate for organizations, individuals, communities and donors.
Research, context analysis, stakeholder and threat mapping
Facilitate workshops, both virtual and in-person, to support implementation of mitigation measures
Build from existing organisational/individual knowledge to devise and deliver security management plans, protocols, and implementation support
Further develop our risk management curriculum and training modules
Oversee our external consultants in delivery of risk management programme
Identifying and capacity-building with local support coordinators and/or pro-actively fostering local support networks
It is essential that candidates have:
Minimum three years of practical operational experience of risk mitigation in the field
The ability to adapt risk mitigation strategies to the realities on the ground: we work with many human rights activists who simply don’t have access to the type of resource-support or infrastructure that larger NGO or the humanitarian aid sector have and we need someone who can adapt appropriately to customise for the different types of partners we support
Cultural and gender awareness and sensitivity, experience working with multicultural partners
Fluency in English (both written and spoken)
Ability to work across multiple timezones (from SE Asia to LATAM)
Ability to travel (when pandemic restrictions are suitable)
The candidate must also have at least one of the following preferred experiences:
Experience in the design and development of training programs, and in the delivery of diverse training methods or activities (e.g. scenario-based simulations, mentoring, on-the-job training) including virtual and in-person
Human rights or environmental activism experience
Professional qualifications and certificates in risk management and/or facilitation
Additional languages
Terms
An initial 1 year fixed-term consultancy with the potential to become a permanent position (and for UK residents possibly for immediate full-time permanent employment). We work remotely but meet regularly in London.
Remuneration will be commensurate to the level of experience.
