Do you want to play a key role in an organisation that stands up for children? Then join us as Senior Climate Change Adviser and lead a growing, critically important portfolio of work, focussing largely on community adaptation, and with a strong focus on quality evidence generation. Our mission is to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.

In this new and exciting role of Senior Climate Change Adviser, you will work in Save the Children UK to develop a clear strategy on climate change for 2022-24, build networks and partnerships to enable this strategy, and ensure the links between child rights and climate change are more widely understood.

• Lead or provide technical oversight of the development of climate-related project concept notes.
• Work with COs to ensure that their climate adaption work is based on the best evidence.
