War Child Facilitator - EASE and BeThere

Freelancer, Part-time · Amsterdam

Wie zijn wij?

War Child Netherlands is one of the fundraising members of the War Child Alliance. War Child Netherlands is responsible for fundraising in the NL market, as well as programme implementation in the Netherlands.
War Child has developed a set of evidence-based interventions called the Care System. The ultimate goal is to support the mental wellbeing of children. Given the current gaps and needs of refugee children and youth in the Netherlands, War Child has decided to also start implementing a set of tools and interventions in the Netherlands. War Child is specifically looking for a pool of facilitators for EASE and Be There. The facilitators will support the scale up of the EASE and Be There interventions in the Netherlands.

EASE (Early Adolescent Skills for Emotions): War Child has, led by WHO, developed, piloted and researched EASE, with the aim to train communities and partner organisations to implement quality and timely mental support to youth.

EASE is an early treatment intervention for groups of youth (10-15 years old) exposed to armed conflict, displacement, and other forms of adversity. The program is designed to help reduce stress and improve the wellbeing of youth who experience mental health problems.

BeThere: War Child has developed a group intervention for parents and caregivers of children exposed to armed conflict, displacement, and other forms of adversity. The program is designed to help parents and other caregivers reduce their own stress and find greater support, so that they feel better emotionally, and have more energy to be the kind of parents they wish to be. The intervention aims to increase knowledge and skills related to parenting, in order to lower the stress of raising children in difficult conditions.

Purpose of the assignment

This includes implementation of the complete process from the intake and assessment to the facilitation of all meetings with the adolescents and those with their caregivers, until the post assessment.

Furthermore, the War Child facilitator will carry out the BeThere programme with groups of caregivers living in refugee shelters across the Netherlands.

Over ons

Onze organisatie

War Child is een dynamische organisatie waar een informele sfeer heerst en waar veel ruimte is voor creativiteit en eigen initiatief. Het imago dat War Child extern uitdraagt, is een blauwdruk van het werk op het hoofdkantoor: het is dynamisch, vernieuwend, integer en gericht op het behalen van resultaten tegen lage kosten. War Child besteedt zoveel mogelijk budget aan het helpen van kinderen in oorlog en doet er daarom alles aan om de kosten zo laag mogelijk te houden. Onze arbeidsvoorwaarden zijn op het niveau van de Nederlandse NGO sector. Het kantoor is gevestigd in de Amsterdamse wijk Watergraafsmeer. We werken hybride, met de combinatie van thuis, op kantoor en in deze functie uiteraard soms onderweg naar relaties.

Veiligheid

War Child werkt vanuit  humanitaire waarden en normen. Van mogelijke nieuwe collega’s vragen we hetzelfde. Voor War Child staat de veiligheid van de kinderen en jongeren die we steunen voorop. We bestrijden elke vorm van misbruik. Omdat we willen dat kinderen en jongeren geen enkel risico lopen komt dit uitgebreid aan bod bij de werving van nieuwe collega’s. Als onderdeel van sollicitaties vragen we daarom om referenties naar aanleiding van het  Inter-Agency Misconduct Disclosure Scheme en een recente Verklaring Omtrent Gedrag (VOG).

Gelijke kansen

War Child droomt dat alle kinderen in vrede kunnen leven, wie ze ook zijn en waar ze ook opgroeien. Daarom is War Child trots dat we gelijke kansen bieden aan iedereen die met ons wil werken. We bevorderen diversiteit en willen dat iedereen zich bij ons thuis voelt. War Child selecteert mogelijke nieuwe collega’s ongeacht hun gender, ras, nationaliteit, beperking, leeftijd en/of seksuele voorkeur.

Sollicitaties

We besteden zoveel mogelijk van onze inkomsten aan de ondersteuning van kinderen en jongeren. Daarom werken we efficiënt. Dat betekent dat we alleen sollicitaties bekijken die we via onze websites ontvangen. Mochten we een geschikt persoon vinden vóór de sluitingsdatum, verwijderen we de vacature van onze websites. Sollicitaties die we later ontvangen, kunnen we dan niet meer in behandeling nemen.
