The Start Network is made up of more than 40 aid agency members across five continents, ranging from large international organisations to national NGOs. Our aim is to deliver more effective emergency aid, harnessing the power and knowledge of the network to make faster and better decisions to help people affected by crises. We advocate for radical change in the global aid system so that the world can deal better with the humanitarian challenges of today, and of the future.
Our work focuses on three areas to change the system:
- Localisation – shifting power to those closest to the front line to enable more effective and appropriate responses.
- New forms of financing – providing fast, early, and dependable funding, to help communities to become more resilient to crises.
- Collective innovation – testing new ways of working and sharing learning and expertise to build a more effective humanitarian system.
The Start Network is currently hosted by Save the Children (StC) UK and is working towards moving into a newly-created independent charity in 2019.
The role of Digital Officer will support the planning and delivery of digital projects and campaigns that aim to raise awareness of the Start Network, build engagement across membership and support the Start team to work in effective ways.

You will produce and edit a wide range of digital content, including written content and digital media. In addition you will also support the day-to-day engagement of stakeholders on digital platforms, such as social media, collaboration platforms and other engagement tools. You will have a good knowledge of best practise in digital while being able to use data to evidence the effectiveness of content and campaigns. You will also manage or support new digital developments, such as data visualisation, that will increase stakeholder engagement in our work. Working closing with stakeholders and colleagues, the post holder will support projects to ensure they meet business and audience needs and that they are delivered on time and on budget. This will role will also coordinate third party suppliers in this process.
The candidate will be passionate and pro-active and will relish the opportunity to introduce new platforms to an innovative team that is willing to test new ways of working. Proactive and enthusiastic, you will write and create content using a variety of media for a wide range of audiences. You should also have experience working with websites and creating a good user experience.
At Save the Children we are committed to the safeguarding and protection of children in our work. We will do everything possible to ensure that only those who are suitable to work with children are recruited to work for us. This post is subject to a range of vetting checks including a criminal records disclosure.
