Working in 50 developing countries across Africa, Asia and the Americas, Plan aims to reach as many children as possible, particularly those who are excluded or marginalized with high quality programs that deliver long lasting benefits by increasing its income, working in partnership with others and operating effectively

Plan emergency teams are providing vital aid to thousands of people who have been forced to flee violence in South Sudan. More than 1 million children and adults have been displaced since fighting broke out between government and rebel troops in December 2013 and Plan recognizes that the geographical context and recent history have left the communities of South Sudan highly vulnerable to emergencies from political and inter-ethnic conflicts, influx of returnees, food insecurity, long dry spells and floods.

Plan has already supported thousands of affected families with food and nutrition, clean water, hygiene and sanitation – but much more needs to be done.

Plan has undertaken a needs assessment and developed a response plan in four states - Central Equatoria, Eastern Equatorial, Lakes and Jonglei focussing on conflict affected, returnees and marginalised and vulnerable groups in addressing their priority needs.

Accountable for the overall performance of the Emergency Response and Disaster Risk Management teams you will oversee all aspects of emergency and disaster risk management and lead the development and evolution of well funded and coordinated responses. Providing leadership, coaching for results and supporting the emergencies and disaster risk management teams, you will be an experienced leader with proven skills in the development and management of effective and motivated teams. As a representative of Plan in South Sudan, you will create effective networks and partnerships with likeminded organisations for overall enhancement of Plan’s response and the profile of the organisation.

With demonstrable experience designing and leading large scale emergency responses, knowledge of the key programme areas and a sound understanding of integrated development issues and critical analysis of child poverty you will bring passion, determination, and fresh thinking to our work, with the aim of expanding both our reach and our impact, and making change work for millions of children. Previous experience in ongoing conflict or post conflict areas would be advantageous.

Location: Based at the Country Office in Juba with frequent travel (approximately 50%) to the Programme Units and other field’s offices and communities. This may include remote, insecure areas with limited infrastructure.
