Founded in 1903, Fauna & Flora International (FFI) is the world’s longest established international conservation organisation. Our vision is to create a sustainable future for the planet where biodiversity is conserved by the people living closest to it. We aim to do this through the conservation of threatened species and ecosystems worldwide, choosing solutions that are sustainable, based on sound science and take account of human needs. We have become a trusted entity in the world of conservation. Today FFI is active in over 40 countries.
In direct response to FFI’s growing portfolio of work in South Sudan and to ensure that our conservation goals are achieved in ways that respect human rights and contribute to human wellbeing and social equity, we are now looking to add a new member to our team. This role will provide technical input into the review and design of social equity in governance arrangements at project and programme level and ensure that FFI approaches enable equitable and meaningful participation of local people. Furthermore, this role will be critical in ensuring that FFI’s South Sudan programme adequately identifies, avoids, manages and/or mitigates negative social impacts affecting communities or other relevant local stakeholders as a result of its conservation work.
The successful candidate will have sound technical knowledge and proven experience of applying social science expertise in the conservation context, as well as being open to learning and able to quickly pick up new skills. In addition, they will be highly collaborative with proven experience in capacity building, project design, management and monitoring. They will have excellent facilitation, training and mentoring skills, including consensus-building skills, and be able to apply these to diverse groups of people. They will have experience of working in a cross-cultural environment and experience in applying your skills to a conservation, rural livelihoods or natural resource management context in less developed countries. They will need to be able to operate in, and ideally have experience of, a conflict / post-conflict situation.
The closing date for applications is Sunday, 16 October 2022.
