Area Representative – Save the Children Central Somalia Job in Kenya

Posted: 26 Jun 2012 05:42 AM PDT


Job Description

Job Title: Area Representative – Central Somalia

Duty Station: Nairobi – with potential travel to field sites pending a significant improvement in security.

Reports to: Director of Operations

Working relationships
Area Representative Central Somalia, Humanitarian Director & Emergency Response Team members

Line Management responsibility
International & National Staff: Project Managers, finance, HR, logistics and Field Managers (final  composition of team tba)
Indirect line management of over x national staff

Budget Holding Responsibility: Over GBP 10 Million
Grade: 3.1. (international Contract)

Contract Length: 6 months (renewable)
Child Safeguarding Level: 3

Introduction:

Save the Children (SC) is an international organization with 27 member organizations across the globe. 
It is united by a common mission and brand but, to some extent, has until now been working independently from country to country and within countries. 
With the decision by all Save the Children organizations to create an International Programmes Unit (IPU) taken in 2010, Save the Children aims to create a stronger voice for children by unifying the operations in all countries. 
This will result in one organisation at the national level in each country and a unified programme delivery structure for all Save the Children International Members.

Save the Children UK, Denmark and Finland unified in Somalia in January 2010 under the name Save the Children in Somalia which will move to the IPU model by the end of 2012. 
After one year of unification and as a result of an active fundraising strategy the programme budget was over GBP 10m covering thematic areas of protection, child survival (which includes health, nutrition and livelihoods), education, and Child Rights Governance.

Save the Children works in the three "zones" of Somalia: Somaliland, Puntland and Central South Somalia (CSS). Due to constraints on security, and the need to liaise with UN agencies, other NGOs and donors, the country office is based in Nairobi. 
Directors and senior managers are expected to travel extensively to monitor and support programme work in all parts of Somalia that are accessible and where security threats are being effectively mitigated . 
Save the Children has been engaged in Somalia for over 20 years. The programme has substantially grown since and intends to continue long-term. 
During the drought crisis of 2011, the programme in Somalia expanded exponentially and we presently work across 5 regions of Somalia with offices in Hiran, Abudwaq and a shared office with our partner in Mogadishu. 
The post holder will be based in Nairobi, at present there is no access for international staff to Abudwaq and Hiran. Therefore, a strong understanding of remote support to Save the Children staff and partners is a vital component of this position.

This is a new position within the organisation; due to the large growth of operations in Somalia over the past 8 months a decision was taken to split Somalia into southern and central regions, with an Area Representative for each. 
A Transition Manager will be in place for a number of months to support the change in the structure, working closely with the Area Representatives and their teams, Operations Director and Humanitarian Director.

Job Purpose
The Area Representative has overall responsibility for the development, management and delivery of good quality programmes in Central Somalia.
