UN Women HeForShe Barbershop Facilitator Consultant Roster: Remote Consultancy Opportunity for Gender Equality Experts

Overview

The UN Women HeForShe Barbershop Facilitator Consultant Roster aims to create a pool of qualified and pre-vetted experts who can support the delivery and contextual adaptation of the HeForShe Barbershop Toolkit. This participatory programme is designed to engage men and boys in discussions around gender equality, equitable masculinities, and social norm change using a Transforming Patriarchal Masculinities approach. The consultancy is primarily home-based and remote, though selected consultants may occasionally be required to undertake short-term in-person facilitation assignments or field missions.

Inclusion in the roster does not guarantee immediate employment or a set volume of assignments. Instead, successful candidates join a pre-vetted pool that UN Women and its partners can draw upon based on programme demands, resource availability, and specific regional needs.

Eligibility

• Education: A Master’s degree or equivalent in Social Sciences, Human Rights, Gender Studies, Women’s Studies, International Development, or related disciplines. Alternatively, a first-level university degree combined with two additional years of qualifying experience may be accepted.
• Professional Experience: A minimum of 5 years of professional work experience.
• Facilitation Background: Demonstrated experience facilitating trainings, workshops, or dialogue-based programmes related to gender equality, male allyship, and equitable masculinities.
• Language: Fluency in written and spoken English is required; knowledge of an additional language is highly desirable.

Benefits

• Opportunity to join a global roster of pre-vetted experts supporting UN Women's Strategic Partnerships Division.
• Remote and flexible working arrangements with opportunities to engage in national or international field missions.
• Chances to contribute to an international community of practice focused on gender-transformative programming and social norm change.
