Save The Children Job Vacancies 2020
ROLE PURPOSE:
HBCC- Hygiene and Behavior Change Coalition- is a coalition for interactive messaging and behavior change communication to prepare and equip children and families to adopt and sustain behaviors that will reduce their health risk, specifically handwashing with soap. HBCC aims to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among children, caregivers, their families, and the wider communities and to build resilience from future outbreaks in West Java and in Jakarta. SC Indonesia will uphold critical implementation strategies to ensure high participation, increase community empowerment, and building on local capacity to secure ownership to response activities.
The project will also support the transition back to school and the messaging around health. Although Indonesia’s COVID-19 caseload is currently quite low and recently the Government has increased its testing capacity dramatically, we are assuming that cases will sharply increase before containment measures start taking effect. In responding to the COVID-19 crisis, SC Indonesia is closely engaged with the National Taskforce for COVID-19 which is led by the Indonesia National Disaster Management Agency.
HBCC seeks a Behavior Change Communication Specialist to provide technical assistance, management, and direction for the program implementation.
The Behavior Change/Community Development Specialist will work very closely with Technical Advisors and provide technical assistance and support for program implementation. S/he will use best practices of behavior change communication (BCC) strategy across all program components for key target population groups including parents, religious and traditional leaders, grandmothers and elders, children and youth in targeted communities and schools to have access to equitable access to safe, relevant and high-quality WASH facilities and ensure behavior change. S/he will also be responsible for ensuring gender and inclusivity integration throughout the implementation.
Working with the Project Team, the post holder shares the accountability to build the most positive and affirming work environment possible and ensure that the management, staffing, and culture of the organization are suitably aligned with the mission, evolving goals and strategic ambitions aligned with the Member Accountability Framework and Minimum Performance Standards for Associate Membership.
