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.

Head of Security Training Programmes Job at Plan International

Plan International

Job Description

At Plan International, we recognise the unique safety and security risks faced by our staff and associates working in complex and sometimes hostile environments. We are committed to proactively identifying and mitigating these risks, ensuring that security management is an enabler—not a barrier—to achieving our mission.

 

We are seeking a Head of Security Training Programmes to join our Global Safety and Security Team. In this pivotal role, you will lead the design and delivery of security training courses, oversee the certification of trainers, and manage induction and development programmes for security managers. You will also support other training initiatives across our global operations.

 

A significant part of this role involves international travel to Plan International offices to deliver training and build capacity within local security functions. You will work closely with Regional and Country Management Teams, providing expert guidance and promoting a positive, inclusive security culture aligned with our Security for All initiative.

Duties, Roles and Responsibilities

  • Design and deliver security training courses and workshops globally.
  • Develop complex and technical training materials (e.g., first aid, trauma response, crisis management).
  • Certify trainers and manage induction programmes for security managers.
  • Support regional and country teams in strengthening local security capabilities.
  • Promote inclusive and intersectional approaches to security risk management.
  • Encourage incident reporting and ensure lessons learned are integrated into future operations.
