Being generous with the sharing of knowledge, advocacy expertise, and contacts while working in a collaborative environment is essential.

The post-holder will work closely with hosted organisations, IPNEd (the International Parliamentary Network for Education) and SMF (Send My Friend to School) coalition as well as the APPG on Global Education to work together effectively, to increase political will around global education, with a particular focus on the global learning crisis. Both the post holder and the Education Advocacy Consultant will engage with the SMF PPWG (Policy and Parliamentary Working Group), with the postholder engaging more in the parliamentary side more whilst the Education Advocacy Consultant engages more in the policy side.

This role is suitable for someone with public affairs or political advocacy experience, preferably in the UK, who understands the way that political decisions impact global poverty and want to influence these decisions.
