The Education Advisor will play a crucial role in refining and supporting WUSC’s strategic focus in Education, including new program design, program quality, knowledge management and thought leadership. In particular, the Education Advisor will play a critical role in strengthening WUSC’s expertise and programming methodologies in the areas of education in emergencies (EiE) and protracted refugee contexts, girls’ education, and quality-focused education interventions. The Education Advisor will be a core member of the WUSC Programs Team, working in a matrix environment as a technical resource in support of WUSC’s programs. It is expected that the Education Advisor will provide sector-specific expertise to our projects as well as support the development of new programs and lead the organization’s learning on education. WUSC’s education portfolio is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, particularly in East Africa. The Education Advisor will play a critical role in supporting this growth.
To support this growth, the Education Advisor will develop tools, resources, knowledge products, and conduct training and coaching for WUSC staff, partners and volunteers to enable them to contribute to WUSC’s programming goals. The Education Advisor will also support quality control of WUSC’s education programming.
