CHILD SAFEGUARDING:

Level 3 – the responsibilities of the post may require the post holder to have regular contact with or access to children or young people

ROLE PURPOSE:

Delivery of non-formal education to refugee and migrant children living in reception sites in Greece.

SC is looking to hire a number of qualified teachers to deliver a range of learning including Greek, English, literacy and numeracy to girls and boys aged 5-17. Classes will be delivered in temporary classrooms. 

Context:

Since August 2015, SC has been responding to the needs of refugee and migrant children in Greece, through Child Protection, Nutrition, provision of basic services and distribution of food and non-food items. The transitory nature of the population previously made the provision of learning opportunities unfeasible. With border closures, children will now remain for longer periods of time in reception sites across the country. The demand for education has already increased. Over 50,000 refugees and migrants are currently stranded in Greece, 40% of which are under 18. All children are currently out of school, and many have been so for years rather than months. SC seeks to mitigate the impact of this disruption to learning for children and adolescents on the move, by providing access to non-formal education, integrating education into the overall response, with strong links to Child Protection programming.
