We know young people have the power to solve the challenges we face in our world, but they are being ignored and overlooked. We are the agency that works with young people so they can lead in solving those challenges. Whether that means supporting communities to end child marriage or prevent HIV, we work with young people to change their lives and the lives of people in their communities. Our programmes are genuinely life-changing, but can’t do any of this without talented, creative individuals at every level of our organisation.

Our approach to safeguarding

Restless Development considers the welfare and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults to be an organisational imperative with primacy over the success of programmes or strategic objectives. We recognise that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and we expect all of our staff, volunteers and partners to ensure we protect the communities in which we operate from harm and abide by our Safeguarding Policy.

You will therefore serve as a role model at all times by personally embodying Restless Development’s mission and values, whilst helping to ensure that Restless Development’s code of conduct, policies and standards are understood by all and adhered to in practice. In doing so you will ensure our programme implementation does no harm to the environment and all stakeholders.

About the role

Together with Ford Foundation, Restless Development aims to implement Youth-Led accountability Project on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)16.7.2 in Tanzania over a 24-month period to empower youth Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) with tools and skills to advocate for and monitor implementation of inclusive and responsive decision making at different levels of governments. Influencing and advocacy will be done through formal channels at a national level, within regional institutions/platforms and global spaces. We will also work through a coalition of partners to maximize impact and learning.
