JOB DETAILS:
Global Advocacy and Grant Coordinator, Anti Racist Public Education

The Role:
This role will support the development of ambitious progress on anti-racist public education globally, working in close dialogue with a transformative programme in Brazil. You will lead global advocacy on anti-racist public education, connecting with and drawing learning from around the world to influence global policies and practices. This will include engaging with UN Special Rapporteurs, with UNESCO’s Global Education Monitoring Report, and with processes to influence the post-2030 SDG agenda to make issues around racial equity in education a global priority. You will work in close partnership with the School of Education at the University of Bristol who are developing a database of anti-racist education initiatives and a roadmap for transformation. You will also connect closely with wider movements such as the Global Campaign for Education, Education International and the Global Student Forum.
Most importantly you will be connecting with the hugely ambitious transformative work of the SETA project in Brazil, which is working with black, indigenous and quilombo movements, together with the national education campaign, towards a shared vision of a Brazilian public education system built on the principles of racial and social justice where every young person can access their right to quality education. The team in Brazil aims to transform the public education ecosystem in Brazil and to institutionalise a racial equity approach in policy and practice, influencing wider societal attitudes, transforming data and monitoring, shifting government policies and practices, training managers and teachers and mobilising youth and students.
As a member of ActionAid’s Global Secretariat, which has formal fiduciary and legal responsibility for the overall grant, you will work closely with the team in Brazil to ensure full and effective accountability. As well as leading the global advocacy component of the project you will take responsibility for all aspects of grant compliance, working with the part-time Global Project Accountant to ensure reports and accounts on the full project are well maintained and submitted in a timely fashion.

Who we're looking for:
• You must have practical experience of engaging in anti-racist education work and a deep understanding of racial politics and education politics, with a strong personal profile in relevant movements / circles and a good understanding of feminist and inter-sectional approaches. Demonstrable experience working in a multicultural context / environment is necessary. Fluency in Portuguese or Spanish is highly desirable.
• You should also have strong commitment to ActionAid’s values and ethos, including ActionAid’s feminist leadership principles.
