Head Of Programmes – Nairobi – Protection and Human Rights

Save the Children is the world’s leading independent organisation for children. We work in 120 countries. We save children’s lives; we fight for their rights; we help them fulfil their potential.
We work together, with our partners, to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.
We have over two million supporters worldwide and raised 1.9 billion dollars last year to reach more children than ever before, through programmes in health, nutrition, education, protection and child rights, also in times of humanitarian crises.
Following a major transition, our international programmes are now delivered through a merged operation with 15,000 staff, managed through seven regional hubs and reporting to a relatively small, central office. We’re changing to become more efficient, more aligned, a better partner, a stronger advocate, a magnet for world-class people and relevant for the 21st century.
Role Purpose: As a member of the Senior Management Team (SMT) in the Regional Multi-Country Programme Unit (RMCPU), the Head of Programs shares in the overall responsibility for the direction and coordination of delivering the RMCPU programs both in terms of technical quality and operational standards. S/he is responsible for overseeing the development of high quality, innovative programs and monitoring the quality of the implementation of those programs.
