Global Ombuds
vor 2 Monaten
**About us**:
- The Ombuds Office for SOS Children’s Villages (the 'Ombuds Office') is an independent office supporting children and young people with concerns that have not been successfully resolved by SOS Children’s Villages safeguarding processes. An Ombuds is a trustworthy person who can listen, support, and guide children, young people, and concerned adults. Developed with input from children and young people, the Ombuds Office functions on the principles of independence, impartiality, confidentiality, and informality. Honouring these principles are critical to the success of the Ombuds Office.- SOS Children’s Villages International is the umbrella organisation for the global federation of SOS Children’s Villages. As a non-governmental social development organisation, we support children without parental care and families in difficult living conditions through services in care, education, health and emergency relief, and we advocate for the rights of children and young people, in alliance with a great diversity of partners. We work in 136 countries and territories, reaching over one million children, young people, families, and caregivers each year.**Mission**:
- The Global Ombuds and the rest of the Ombuds Office for SOS Children’s Villages (i.e., National Ombuds, Regional Ombuds) work independently of SOS Children’s Villages while also aligning with SOS Children’s Villages International policies and processes. The Global Ombuds position is selected by and accountable to the Ombuds Board.- The Ombuds Office for SOS Children's Villages (the 'Ombuds Office') is an independent accountability mechanism that aims to strengthen SOS CV Child Safeguarding systems. The Ombuds Office operates with a child-centred and rights-based approach in accordance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989). The goal of all Ombuds within the Ombuds Office is to promote fairness of process and successful conflict resolution within the SOS Children’s Villages’ federation and member associations.- The Global Ombuds oversees the global Ombuds Office. Within this role, the Global Ombuds is responsible to oversee the recruitment, training and mentoring of Regional Ombuds and support them to find solutions at the local level through National Ombuds. The Global Ombuds identifies child safeguarding trends and gaps and reports on them to the SOS Children’s Villages Senate, National and Regional Directors, National and Regional Child Safeguarding Teams, the Ombuds Board, and national association Boards.- The Global Ombuds represents the Ombuds Office to SOS Children’s Villages executive management and Senate, the Ombuds Board, and external stakeholders. The Global Ombuds provides consistent management of the Ombuds Office and ensures it acts with independence.- The Global Ombuds also collaborates with SOS Children's Villages to strengthen safeguarding. To this end, the Global Ombuds ensures that the Ombuds Office is consistently identifying and defining themes and gaps in child safeguarding so that SOS Children’s Villages Safeguarding understands how to strengthen its systems at all levels.**About the role**:
