About the Organisation
We are Save the Children. Together, we fight for children every single day so that they can make their mark on the world and build a better future.
We stand side by side with children in the toughest places to be a child. We do whatever it takes to make sure they survive, get protection when they're in danger, and have the chance to learn.
Save the Children has long recognised the strategic importance of France on the international stage, for their leadership and influence, as well as their contribution to funding and policy for development and humanitarian work.
Save the Children France was incorporated and registered in 2022 with the support of the wider Save the Children movement.
As part of our global strategy, Save the Children now aims to further strengthen its programming and advocacy partnerships in France.
Save the Children France currently consists of a 2-person team in France, with dotted line support from an extended functional team across the wider Save the Children movement.

This is a varied role that would suit someone who enjoys building relationships, coordinating multiple priorities and working in an international environment.
