Job Title: PLAY Research Analyst Reporting to: Global Programme Manager Hours: 37.5 Hours per week Location: Multiple locations in Bombali, Karene, Koinadugu and Falaba Time Frame: 18-month contract (February 2024 - July 2025) Our Organisation: Street Child believes that every child deserves the chance to go to school and learn. Our projects focus on a combination of education, child protection and livelihood support to address the social, economic and structural issues that underpin today's education crisis. We partner with local organisations and communities to deliver our locally rooted programmes, using evidence to drive learning and the refinement and scale up of programmes to create maximum impact for the most children at the lowest cost. We pride ourselves on being willing to go to the world's toughest places where others won't, including remote, hard-to-reach areas and fragile, disaster-affected states across sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Since 2008 we have helped over 1,000,000 children to go to school and learn. The programme: Playful Learning Across the Years 2.0: Quality Tool Testing, Learning and Pathways to Program Improvement and Systemic Uptake (PLAY 2.0) is a multi-country level programme leaded by the Education Development Centre and Street Child in partnership with the LEGO Foundation. PLAY 2.0 aims to conduct research measurement of the quality of child-centred pedagogies and their contribution to holistic outcomes for children in 450 classrooms in centres and schools across Bangladesh, Sierra Leone, and Uganda. PLAY 2.0 proposes to administer the PLAY 2.0 tools to educators and children to improve the tools' use across countries and cultures, with a particular focus on crisis-affected contexts; to verify the contribution of child-centred pedagogies to holistic outcomes for children; and understand the tools' potential to inform program improvement. PLAY 2.0 offers an outstanding opportunity to focus on the aspects of child-centred approaches that are closest to children, including agency, self-sustaining engagement, self-led exploration, and other essential elements of meaningful learning. The project provides a platform to test and adapt these tools across the three countries - and in turn, contributes to integrate and improve on the implementation of integrated pedagogies, influence their adoption, and support children at critical junctures. The role: Street Child is seeking a driven, detail-oriented Research Analyst to lead and effectively deliver on the PLAY 2.0 research project in Sierra Leone.
