Community Growth & Engagement Consultant

About Global Schools Forum

Global Schools Forum is a collaborative community, innovation accelerator, and partnership builder for non-state organisations working to improve education at scale for underserved children in low- and middle-income countries.

Since our establishment in 2017, we’ve grown our community to 180+ organisations spanning 70= countries, collectively running or supporting over 1.3m schools and centres and providing education to well over 134 million children. Our members are standalone schools; a diverse set of school networks working within or across countries; or organisations providing core support services to non-state schools.

Our work currently covers three core areas :

• Testing promising approaches and diffusing evidence. We fund and support education entrepreneurs to develop, test and scale promising education approaches. We generate and share evidence on ‘what works’ in education and what makes organisations more effective.
• Partnership builder. We facilitate partnerships among our members, connect them with global actors and foster collaborations with governments to scale innovations.
• Partnering strategically to shape policy and scale solutions. We enable our community to engage in the strengthening of education systems by engaging in global policy processes, and with support in forging partnerships with other organisations, funders, and policymakers.

We are looking for a Community Growth and Engagement consultant to join our team on a fixed term 6-month contract for 3 days per week. They will support us in reviewing community applications, conducting due diligence and onboarding organisations into the GSF community during this period. The role includes providing administrative support for GSF’s internal community and engagement team.
