The Project for the Prevention Measures against Drug Use among Children and Youth in Fiji and Samoa, funded by the Government of Japan, aims to address Fiji and Samoa’s escalating drug crisis by strengthening prevention, protection, and response mechanisms for children and adolescents. A key component of Output 3 involves the rehabilitation and establishment of child friendly service hubs in hospitals, police stations, and community spaces, as well as student friendly spaces in schools (counselling rooms and extracurricular activity rooms).
To support the design and implementation of these hard‑component interventions, UNICEF requires a qualified technical consultant to undertake facility assessments, carry out community and stakeholder consultations, prepare construction related documentation, and advise on suitable implementation modalities.
- Minimum requirements:
Experience working on: Child‑friendly or community spaces, public buildings (schools, clinics, police stations), and small‑scale rehabilitation works
Strong skills in BoQ preparation, cost estimation, and technical reporting.
- Demonstrated experience conducting community consultations.
- Commitment to UNICEF safeguarding and PSEA standards.

UNICEF does not hire candidates who are married to children (persons under 18). UNICEF has a zero-tolerance policy on conduct that is incompatible with the aims and objectives of the United Nations and UNICEF, including sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment, abuse of authority and discrimination based on gender, nationality, age, race, sexual orientation, religious or ethnic background or disabilities. UNICEF is committed to promote the protection and safeguarding of all children. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks, and will be expected to adhere to these standards and principles. Background checks will include the verification of academic credential(s) and employment history. Selected candidates may be required to provide additional information to conduct a background check, and selected candidates with disabilities may be requested to submit supporting documentation in relation to their disability confidentially.
