Overview
War Child reaches many thousands of children and youth every year - yet there are 468 million children living with the effects of armed conflict. We will never reach them all by ourselves, which is why our strategic goal is to scale our impact by implementing evidence-based methodologies with partners. Together we can support the mental health and well-being of many more children affected by conflict.
At the heart of our scaling strategy is War Child’s Care System approach. The Care System includes a range of evidence-based methodologies designed to improve the mental health and well-being of children and their caregivers. These components can be selected based on partner needs, tailored for programme requirements and contextualized and integrated with existing services to build on local strengths.
Role
To make the adaptive Care System accessible to many more children and communities, we aim to collaborate with key stakeholders to co-design simple and effective learning pathways and resources to support all steps in the implementation process.
As Learning Designer Care System, you will provide learning /instructional design expertise and collaborate with the core EBM teams to improve and build on existing learning paths and start new blended learning paths and learning resources. You will bring essential expertise in developing learning paths that are scalable and in line with our guiding principles. Where relevant you co-create and/or collaborate with our replication partners and local implementing partners to ensure the learning paths are contextualised and will be adopted by /co-owned by our replication partners. You will also help to create learning materials and resources to strengthen partner’s abilities to implement evidence-based methodologies, including capacities such as coordination and quality assurance.
