Prevention Collaborative is Recruiting for a Part-time Knowledge Management Assistant (Remote Role – $250-$275 USD daily rate range)
Overview
The Prevention Collaborative is a global network of practitioners, activists, and researchers working
to better equip themselves and others with the vision, knowledge, and skills necessary to end
violence against women and their children worldwide. Prevention Collaborative believe that prevention is possible and that knowledge, evidence, and strong feminist movements will help us get there. Prevention Collaborative is seeking a versatile, early-career professional to join its Evidence and Influence Team and work closely with its Communications and Capacity Strengthening teams.
The Knowledge Management Assistant is highly organised and has experience with both research and practice on violence prevention. The Knowledge Management Assistant position is part-time and could be a good fit for a graduate-level student interested in deepening their expertise in violence prevention. The Evidence and Influence team tracks emerging developments in the field of violence prevention, curates and synthesises evidence for its Knowledge Hub (KH), conducts applied evidence reviews to inform practice and quality implementation, develops accessible resources for practitioners, and serves as both an internal and external resource on violence prevention.
A key focus of the Evidence and Influence team is to identify gaps and generate evidence around
neglected and underutilised strategies for violence prevention. The Collaborative’s advocacy work
to reform donor practice that undermines effective prevention is also housed within this domain.
