Stillingstittel:
Education Cluster Coordinator, Rapid Response Team Member

Stillingsbeskrivelse:
Save the Children Norway (Redd Barna) is a non-governmental humanitarian organisation working to realise children?s rights in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Our vision is a world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development and participation. We are a member organisation and are politically and religiously independent. Save the Children Norway is a member of the Save the Children International which works in 120 countries.

Save the Children and UNICEF co-lead the Education Cluster. The Education Cluster is one of 11 clusters established by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) to strengthen system-wide preparedness and technical capacity to respond to humanitarian emergencies and ensure adequate coordination at field level. The Education Cluster convenes a range of UN, NGO and other actors to meet the needs of the Education in Emergencies sector, by producing key interagency tools, building capacity, and developing shared advocacy and policy.

The function of this Coordinator, Rapid Response Team Member (RRT) will be to provide high quality, rapidly deployable education coordination capacity in humanitarian situations, with large scale emergencies (UN level 3 emergencies) as a first priority. Support is also provided to other acute emergencies and chronic crises, depending on need and cluster priorities.

RRT members have proved an invaluable resource for ensuring a coordinated, evidence based and predictable approach to the Education in Emergencies response, particularly in the first phase of the emergency and after an escalation of a protracted crisis. The team has gradually expanded to 7 members by December 2015 and is expanding further to ensure that the Global Education Cluster has a sufficient number of coordination experts available who can deploy rapidly to support education coordination in humanitarian crises.

The cluster coordinator will commit 20% of his/her time to Save the Children Norway, and the remaining 80% to the Education Cluster Unit. RRT members should be ready to deploy at a minimum of 48 hours? notice for up to 12 weeks at a time and for a total of 22 weeks per year.

On deployment, the RRT team member will:

• Support the education cluster as agreed in the Terms of Reference for the deployment. Focus will be on technical EiE support and/or the six core functions of Clusters as laid in the Country Coordination Reference Module.
• Support the UNICEF and Save the Children country offices in upholding their Cluster Lead Agency (CLA) obligations. The RRT member will not be expected to support UNICEF?s or Save the Children?s own programmatic response;
  • Work in the office where the cluster team/staff are based, according to in-country arrangements.
  • Sustainability: The RRT member will provide training, mentoring and direct capacity development, to help national partners undertake effective coordination, reducing the need for global surge support.

When not deployed and working for the ECU, the RRT member will:

• Provide remote support to countries, including through the Global Education Cluster Helpdesk.
• Build the capacity of country Clusters through trainings and the development of tools and resources.

When not deployed and working for the hosting agency, the RRT member will:

• Strengthen the RRT member?s hosting agency?s contribution to the GEC 2015-2019 Strategic Plan and 2016 Annual Work Plan or other Cluster related tasks
• Build the agency?s internal understanding of and commitment to the Cluster Lead Agency role through capacity building and guidance development as appropriate.
