About Mercy Corps 

Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible.  

In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world, we partner to put bold solutions  

into action — helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within.  

Now, and for the future. 

The Program / Department / Team  

Sudan INGO Forum 

Sudan is facing one of the most severe humanitarian crises globally, marked by widespread displacement, disease outbreaks, and confirmations of famine in several ‘hunger hotspots.’ In an effort to coordinate INGO efforts and establish a common voice for INGOs operating in Sudan, the INGO forum was established in 2009 as a key representation platform.  To date, the forum is made up of 51 members and 17 observers operating across the country, including in some of the most difficult to reach parts of Sudan. 

The INGO Forum is a permanent member of the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) and the Inter-Cluster Coordination Group (ICCG).  It co-leads the Humanitarian Access Working Group (HAWG), alongside OCHA and spearheads collective engagement with Government and other Authorities as well as with donors.  The forum also leads collective advocacy nationally, regionally and internationally through its Advocacy Working Group (AWG) and in close coordination with the regional Inter-Agency Working Group (IAWG) and Member liaison offices in key donor/diplomatic capitals around the world. 

Since 2023, the situation in Sudan has dramtically shifted as state and non-state actors wage a brutal conflict.  The situation in non-Sudanese Armed Forces - controlled areas is particularly dire, with humanitarian access severely restricted and the absence of United Nations (UN) presence exacerbating the challenges. As humanitarian needs continue to escalate, there is an urgent need for an interim solution to address critical gaps in coordination, common services and aid delivery. 

To this end, the three core tenants of the INGO Forum’s work include: 

• Coordinated aid delivery – Enhancing operational alignment across organizations to maximize humanitarian impact.

• This includes establishing an NGO-led coordination mechanism under the Sudan INGO Forum to provide immediate, effective, and well-managed humanitarian responses in these areas to ensure that urgent needs are met and operations are not disrupted.

• Common service provision – Offering essential support, analysis, and shared resources to facilitate NGO operations.

• This includes common negotiation support i.e. for access or against BAI, collective advocacy efforts, information sharing, donor and stakeholder engagement, security and admin SOPs and collective position papers, etc.

• Stakeholder coordination and representation – Engaging with donors, UN agencies, authorities, and the broader humanitarian system to advocate for improved response conditions.

• There is of course a convening and facilitation role included in this representation function

The Position  

Access to people in need remains one of the greatest challenges for INGOs operating in Sudan.  Deteriorating security, limited physical access and significant bureaucratic and administrative impediments have left many of those most in need with limited to no access to assistance.  Given the highly dynamic security, political and conflict situation, humanitarians are preparing for increasing complexity in reaching the most vulnerable populations in hard-to-reach areas.  

The INGO-F Deputy Director will have specific responsibilities for collating information to provide analysis and advice to members on matter of common concern related to access impediments including bureaucratic and administrative impediments in close coordination with the area coordination leads and with the INGO-F Director.   This position will also focus on analyzing, facilitating, and coordinating collective humanitarian access to negotiations, products, and initiatives.  

This position will have specific responsibilities for coordinating INGO access fora and co-chairing the HAWG together with OCHA.  He/she will also s...

WELCOME

Thank you for considering the role of Head of Boarding at

At Moulsford, the message is straightforward. We want our pupils to receive the

broadest  possible  education,  while  remembering  that  they  will  learn  best  when

happy and settled.

Founded in 1961, this is a particularly exciting period in Moulsford’s

development with the School in the process of going co-educational. At present

girls and boys are in Year 3 and below, and the school will be fully co-

I look forward to welcoming you to Moulsford soon.

THE ROLE

HEAD OF BOARDING

LINE MANAGER: Headmaster

HOURS OF WORK: Full-Time Monday – Friday

TIMES OF WORK: The Head of Boarding must reside in the Boarding House when the pupils
are staying overnight.

SALARY: Dependent on experience & qualifications, commensurate with industry standards

The Head of Boarding is a very rewarding role, and one integral to the School as the leader of this popular
boarding house.

This is an exciting time to join Moulsford Prep School, with the introduction of co-education into Year 3
progressing through the school year on year.  Currently, the boarding house is all boys, and it is anticipated that
girls will start to board in September 2027. The Head of Boarding will oversee the transition to co-educational
boarding.

Pupils board at Moulsford from Monday evening through to Friday morning with the Head of Boarding being
responsible for the pastoral care and welfare of each boarding pupil. Living in the Boarding House, he/she is
responsible for promoting good social skills and creating and maintaining a warm, friendly and nurturing
atmosphere that enables pupils to thrive in the School community.  Pupils can either board weekly (Monday –
Friday) or flexi board. If the latter, pupils must commit to boarding two nights a week for the term.

The successful candidate will thoroughly enjoy being with children and have a good sense of humour, together
with excellent inter-personal skills...

Gap Years at Gresham’s

Each year, we welcome a number of Gap Year Assistants to Gresham’s Prep and Pre-Prep Schools. We aim to help these pupils gain vital career skills and leadership experience, plus the opportunity for a rewarding and fun year abroad in a close-knit and friendly community.

Duties may include working in the school office, coaching sport, assisting in PE lessons, helping in boarding houses, working as a classroom assistant, and taking part in school trips.

We are ideally located in the lively market town of Holt, which offers all necessary amenities. Daily buses operate between Holt and Norwich, and coach services are available to all major London airports from Norwich. Rail links to Norwich, London and the rest of the country are available at nearby Sheringham, which is a short taxi journey from Holt.

Coming to Gresham’s will suit any young person who is prepared to throw themselves into our busy school community with commitment and enthusiasm. Pupils must be flexible and keen for challenge, with the ability to act as a leader and work effectively with people of all ages. Some expertise or qualifications in coaching sport would be a particular asset.

Please note, the GAP Year application process for 2026 has now closed.
