The role

Develop a complete, practice-based and pedagogically sound training course on multi-track dialogue with armed actors and authorities under conditions of pressure, ready for digitalisation and delivery through the UCP Academy online platform.

What you'll do

• Conduct a short inception review of existing NP internal guidance, engagement protocols, training materials, field tools and relevant external literature on dialogue with armed actors and authorities, multi-track engagement and protection-centred negotiation
• Map the existing training and methodological landscape, including CCHN / Frontline Negotiations, Geneva Call, ICRC, Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue and comparable actors, and produce a written complementarity and value-add analysis
• Consult NP field teams to capture field-tested practice, engagement protocols, case examples, dilemmas and lessons learned and to validate the draft course content
• Design the course architecture: learning pathway, modules and sessions, learning objectives, estimated learning time, sequencing and prerequisites, including explicit signposting to complementary external training where relevant
• Develop module content covering, at a minimum: actor analysis and preparation; mandate, red lines and principled positioning; multi-track sequencing and coherence across community, local, national and international levels; managing pressure, coercion, intimidation and duress; team safety, duty of care and psychological load; confidentiality and information handling; gender, inclusion and community-led dialogue; and handover, follow-up and accountability
• Design assessment and learner engagement elements: knowledge checks, end-of-module quizzes, a final assessment, and criteria for course completion or certification

What it takes

• Advanced university degree in peace and conflict studies, international relations, international humanitarian law, education or a related field
• Demonstrated, substantive experience in unarmed civilian protection, including direct engagement with armed actors and authorities, protective presence and deterrence and community-based protection
• Demonstrated familiarity with the methodologies and training offers of organisations mandated in dialogue with armed actors and authorities
• At least five years’ experience designing adult learning curricula, preferably for online or blended delivery, including scenario- or simulation-based learning on sensitive and high-risk subject matter
• Proven ability to translate field practice into accessible learning content; excellent written English; French, Spanish or Arabic an asset
• Ability to work independently, remotely and across multiple time zones, and to handle sensitive operational information with discretion
