Expert Application Advice
What this role involves
You will design and oversee child protection frameworks and psychosocial support activities within Right To Play’s community-based programs in Greater Accra. Your days will blend training local facilitators, monitoring vulnerable children’s well-being, and coordinating with social welfare offices to ensure safe play-based learning environments.
Key skills to highlight
Showcase expertise in child safeguarding policies (e.g., UNCRC, national Ghanaian standards), trauma-informed care, and participatory training methods. Experience with M&E tools for psychosocial outcomes and fluency in local Ghanaian languages (Twi, Ga, or Ewe) are strong assets. Empathy and crisis response agility are non-negotiable.
Taf4All CV tip
Replace generic “counseling” bullet points with concrete examples: “Trained 50 community volunteers on PSS referral pathways in 3 districts” or “Reduced child protection incidents by 30% through school-based awareness campaigns.” Use Ghana-specific terms like “Department of Social Welfare” or “Community Child Protection Committees.”
Before you apply
Verify the application channel via Right To Play’s official Ghana website or LinkedIn—never share personal ID documents via email. Legitimate roles will not ask for upfront fees; report suspicious requests to the company’s HR directly.
🎯 Make your application ATS-ready
ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

- •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
- •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
- •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
- •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
- •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
- •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
