JOB OFFER at PLAN International Cameroon – NGO,  : Head of Security Training Programmes

Location: Globally, Flexible

Company: Plan International

The Organisation

 

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls.

 

 

We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it’s girls who are most affected.

 

Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.

 

We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.

 

 

We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 85 years, and are now active in more than 80 countries.

 

The Opportunity

 

We recognise that our staff and associates may work in or travel to hostile and complex environments that present unique safety and security risks, and we are proactive in identifying and mitigating these risks. We understand that security management should be an enabler rather than a barrier. Plan International is committed to fulfilling its duty of care to our staff and providing a safe and secure environment so that we can better fulfil our purpose and objectives.

 

 

 

As the Head of Security Training Programmes you will work within the Plan International Global Safety and Security Team and will oversee design and delivery of our security training courses, certification of trainers, security manager induction and development programs, and other training initiatives. A substantial component of the role will involve travel to Plan International offices to support delivery of these training courses.

You will be required to provide support and guidance to Regional and Country Management Teams increasing capacity in local security functions.

 

You will promote a positive security culture, focused on advancing our Security for All initiative to create a more inclusive and intersectional approach to security risk management. As well as encourage staff to report security concerns and incidents, follow-up and/or investigate as needed, and ensure management incorporates lessons learned into future operations.

 

The Requirements

 

• Experience teaching or training security courses and workshops
• Experience developing complex and technical training material, e.g. first aid and medical trauma, crisis management, security analysis
• Deep conceptual understanding of security risk management and risk assessment processes
• Experience working in high-risk areas, including disasters and fragile and conflict affected states
• Experience working in an international NGO
• Experience leading diverse and geographically dispersed teams
• Able to build networks and relationships under challenging conditions
