Prevention Collaborative is hiring an early-career professional as a Knowledge Management Assistant (remote part time role )

The Prevention Collaborative is a global network of practitioners, activists, and researchers working
to better equip ourselves and others with the vision, knowledge, and skills necessary to end
violence against women and their children worldwide. We believe that prevention is possible and
that knowledge, evidence, and strong feminist movements will help us get there. We are seeking a
versatile, early-career professional to join our Evidence and Influence Team and work closely with
our Communications and Capacity Strengthening teams. The ideal candidate is highly organised
and has experience with both research and practice on violence prevention. The 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 our 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.
