Save
the Children is the world’s leading independent organisation for children. We
work in 120 countries. We save children’s lives; we fight for their rights; we
help them fulfil their potential.
Following
a major transition, our international programmes are now delivered through a
merged operation with 15,000 staff, managed through seven regional hubs and
reporting to a relatively small, central office. We’re changing to become more
efficient, more aligned, a better partner, a stronger advocate, a magnet for
world-class people and relevant for the 21st century.
Digital Workplace System Administrator
We
work together, with our partners, to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world
treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.
We
have over two million supporters worldwide and raised 1.9 billion dollars last
year to reach more children than ever before, through programmes in health,
nutrition, education, protection and child rights, also in times of
humanitarian crises.
