The Organisation

 

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child but know this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it is girls who are most affected.

 

Working together with children, young people, supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges girls and vulnerable children face. We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood and we enable children to prepare for and respond to crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.

 

For over 85 years, we have rallied other determined optimists to transform the lives of all children in more than 80 countries.

 

We won’t stop until we are all equal.

 

The Opportunity

 

Global Assurance is part of Plan International’s governance framework and was established to provide independent, objective assurance and consulting services designed to add value and improve Plan International’s operations.

The role of the GA Senior is to conduct assurance engagements or other reviews at the regional or global level to provide management and the international board with assurance that key systems, programs, processes, policies, and controls are working as expected.

Additionally, the role supports the GA Manager in strengthening the second line at the Country offices and acts as a consultant with management teams at the country and regional level about relevant practices in governance, risk, and control of the organisation.  The role builds upon audit principles but requires a combination of problem-solving, process improvement, and systems thinking to reduce risk and enhance the performance of the organisation.
