Join Us at Plan International Bangladesh: Lead the Change

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances childrenโ€™s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And its girls who are most affected. Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.

Plan International Bangladesh envisions a 2030 where children and youth, particularly girls and young women, are recognized as leaders of change in gender norms and can make decisions about their lives. Our country strategy, launched in July 2020, focuses on empowering girls and young women to be heard, live without fear of violence, and achieve their rights. Our significant achievements to date include gender-transformative actions, humanitarian response to the Rohingya crisis and natural disasters, climate and disaster resilience, building our evidence base, and effective advocacy from local to international levels, as well as evolving our partnership approach.

The Role

The Young Professional (YP) will provide essential support to the Humanitarian team in advancing Plan International Bangladeshโ€™s humanitarian programs and priorities. This role offers the opportunity to gain practical experience in disaster risk reduction (DRR), emergency preparedness and response, climate resilience, and gender-transformative humanitarian actions. The YP will support the implementation of key initiatives related to child protection, SRHR, youth engagement, and community-based disaster management while contributing to the organization's overarching humanitarian goals.
