ABOUT RESTLESS DEVELOPMENT

Restless Development is a global non profit agency. We support the collective power of young leaders to create a better world. We are independently registered and governed in nine countries (India, Nepal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, UK, USA, Zambia and Zimbabwe) bound together by our vision for youth power. We run youth-led programmes to tackle the issues that young people care about the most –  We also run the Youth Collective – a growing network of over 4000 local youth civil society groups and organisations in 185 countries. We are committed to creating an agency that walks the talk on power shifting, using the power shifting checklist, both internally and externally.


ABOUT THE PEOPLE & CULTURE TRUSTEE

Here at Restless, we’re building a progressive, forward thinking agency where our people and purpose are central to everything we do. The growth and development of our community is central to our mission of achieving a just and sustainable world for all. 

We are a people centered agency - that believes in the power of young people to lead change. We are a values based employer - placing a focus on culture, equity, wellbeing, safeguarding and power shifting in all that we do.

Restless Development ise looking for a highly skilled and motivated People and Culture Specialist to join our international board of trustees and act as a member of the People & Culture Committee. You’ll help us enhance our Power Shifting goals and preserve the secret sauce of our inclusive culture and develop our learning and development plans. You will also support the People function with your expertise from a governance and strategic perspective. 

As a member of the People & Culture Committee, you will contribute to the overall governance, strategy and decision making of our board whilst also supporting the agency through a period of transformation. You will have a strong background in talent mapping and succession management, and will be able to advise internal teams on how to plan for upward mobility. 

You will ideally have the following skills/ experience: 
  • understanding and experience of the role governance plays and ability to act as a critical friend to People functions within the Agency 
  • experience of leading people through change and supporting internal leadership transitions 
  • expertise in embedding people and culture initiatives in a dispersed organisation 
  • understanding of talent management and succession planning processes 
  • interest and understanding of the people and culture function 
  • learning and development experience ideally gained within a progressive and growing organisation 
  • understanding of how new technologies can support professional development 
  • evolved strategic thinking 
  • interest in doing development differently and commitment to innovation 
  • interest in the essential role young people have to play in society, particularly in the Global South 
We welcome expressions of interest from everyone but particularly from young people based in the Global South as we are under-represented in this area and seek to diversify our Board.
