Role Purpose
The Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) Technical Advisor provides technical leadership and expertise to advance gender equality, disability inclusion and broader social inclusion across Save the Children Cambodia’s programming, advocacy, partnerships and internal practices.
The role supports the Country Office to deliver high-quality, inclusive and equitable programmes that ensure girls, boys and children with disabilities are able to survive, learn and be protected, and can meaningfully participate in decisions affecting their lives.
The GEDSI Advisor ensures that programmes are grounded in intersectional gender and power analysis and that Save the Children’s Gender Equality Policy, Disability Inclusion Policy and Programme Quality Framework are systematically applied across the programme cycle—from design to implementation, monitoring, evaluation and learning.
Working within the PDQI team, the role collaborates with programme sectors (education, child protection, health, nutrition, climate and child rights governance), MEAL, advocacy and operations colleagues to strengthen programme quality, evidence generation and influencing efforts.
The role contributes to Save the Children’s ambition to address inequality and discrimination affecting children, particularly those most marginalised, including girls, children with disabilities and other socially excluded groups.
 
In the event of a major humanitarian emergency, the role holder will be expected to work outside the normal role profile and be able to vary working hours accordingly.
