Job Description

Save the Children Nigeria is seeking candidates for a position in Digital Learning Assistant based in Calabar, Cross River State. If you are interested in this opportunity, please review the details below.

Save the Children is the leading independent organization for children in need, with programs in over 120 countries. We save children's lives. We fight for their rights. We help them fulfill their potential. Save the Children is working in Nigeria because one in five children in Nigeria dies before their fifth birthday. About 40% of children miss out on school and have to work to survive while nearly 2 million children have lost one or both parents to an AIDS-related disease.

Save the Children Nigeria is implementing a digital education program in collaboration with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), created by the Telefónica Foundation and "La Caixa" Foundation. The program aims to become a global reference in transformation and innovation in education and seeks to narrow the education gap in vulnerable environments in Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, and Asia.

We are looking for a dedicated Digital Learning Assistant to join our team. The role will involve coordinating and delivering face-to-face training sessions for teachers in project earmarked schools, continuously monitoring teachers and learners to ensure the acquisition of skills and the use of ProFuturo resources, and updating field reports and incidences on ProFuturo Salesforce portal. The Digital Learning Assistant will also record daily attendance of learners in the supported schools, address low attendance rates, assist in data entry and verification of refugee learners, and provide support to education officers during back-to-school campaigns.

The ideal candidate will have proven experience as an online digital learning instructor, the ability to foster learner interactions, and experience in developing workplans in line with approved curriculums. They must also be able to organize online and virtual lessons, review instructions from the learner's perspective, and provide feedback on learning outcomes. The role requires excellent relationship-building skills, an initiative-taking attitude, and the ability to manage and prioritize an unpredictable workload with limited support.
