Global Corporate Communications Manager
Role Purpose:
Save the Children is the
world’s first, and largest, independent children’s rights organization. Our
founder, Eglantine Jebb, wrote the first draft for the UN Declaration of the
Rights of the Child in 1923, and we’ve worked to uphold it ever since.
Generations later, her pioneering work is being influenced by children
themselves. Today, we are still going strong, working in over 100 countries
worldwide to build a world where every child can thrive, grow up healthy,
educated and safe, and look forward to a future full of promise.
Our ambition for 2030 is
to create a world in which all children:
- Survive:
No child dies from preventable causes before their fifth birthday
- Learn:
All children learn from a quality basic education
- Are Protected:
Violence against children is no longer tolerated.
To deliver on these 2030
breakthroughs for children, Save the Children operates in three-year strategy
cycles, and has developed an ambitious strategy for 2022-24, focused on
transforming and amplifying impact for and with children.
In the last 12 months, the climate crisis has worsened, the conflict in Ukraine has displaced millions of people and children, and the ripple effects and aftermath of the pandemic have resulted in a cost-of-living crisis and worsening global hunger crisis at an unprecedented scale. Globally, 426 million children live in conflict zones in constant fear, their childhoods stolen. We are witnessing the worst child rights crisis in decades. The needs are greater than ever before and so is the urgency for us to scale our impact.
