Consultant: Internal Team Coaching Support

Currently about 200 UNFPA Internal Team Coaches are coaching 100 Office teams for better teamwork, especially in terms of team health and culture, effective learning & collaboration, and win-win conflict management. The programme is about 1 year old and team coaches are beginning to show success stories or need support in their work.

We are therefore recruiting a consultant to help us with:

- Collecting success stories

- Scheduling support calls for internal team coaches

- Organizing training for newly nominated team coaches

- Organizing continuous education webinars for all team coaches

- If possible, running team coach supervision and continuous education sessions autonomously

- Updating team coach database

- Updating team coaching website and information

- Support to other learning activity implementation as needed

The consultant is expected to propose and agree on project milestones and the form of delivery for major deliverables.

No travel is involved, only if exceptional need arises
