JOB POSTING – Photographer

CLOSING DATE: December 29, 2021

ORGANIZATION: Right to Play

WORK LOCATION: Amman, Jordan

Background:

Right to Play is a global organisation that protects, educates and empowers children to rise above adversity using play. By harnessing play, one of the most powerful and fundamental forces in a child’s life, we helped 2.3 million children last year to stay in school and out of work, to prevent life-threatening diseases like HIV and malaria and to stay safe from exploitation and abuse. We are the only global development organization focused exclusively on using play to transform the lives of children and youth impacted by poverty, war, disease and inequality.

Established in 2000, Right to Play is headquartered in Toronto, Canada and has operations in 22 countries across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

With a shared passion for our mission, our Culture Code guides how we act and interact based on five core pillars:

Accept Everyone – Be intentional about inclusion

Make Things Happen – Seek opportunities to lead and innovate

Display Courage – Act with integrity

Demonstrate Care – Look after yourself and one another

Be Playful – Have fun at work

Right to Play is conducting the implementation of different program activities. For the purposes of transparency and monitoring and evaluation, all activities which are implemented in the field need to be documented using photograph evidence. This evidence will be gathered, processed, and delivered to project staff, who will then upload the content to Right to Play’s reporting system. Right To Play is thus looking to hire a photographer, as detailed in the fields mentioned in hereunder.

5) Load and unload film.

6) Review sets of photographs to select the best work.

7) Understand traditional film and digital photography and keep up to date with industry trends, developments and new techniques.

8) Develop expertise with software to digitally enhance images by changing emphasis, cropping pictures, correcting minor faults, moving objects, etc.

9) Comfort using an extensive range of technical equipment including cameras, lenses, lighting and specialist software.

10) Manage the processing and use of images with related RTP staff, discussing technical problems, checking for quality and dealing with relevant concerns.

11) Seek out appropriate photographic subjects and opportunities.

12) Business hours are identified in accordance with the business regulations applicable in Right to Play, distributed pursuant to the schedule identified by Right to Play based on business requirements.

13) Perform other duties as assigned.
