Well-Being & Nutrition Specialist (PPS-09) & Assessment Specialist/Consultant (PPS-09) — Reform Support Unit, School Education & Literacy Department, Government of Sindh (Karachi)
The Reform Support Unit (RSU), School Education & Literacy Department (SE&LD), Government of Sindh invites Expressions of Interest (EOI) from highly qualified individual consultants for two senior roles under the World Bank–financed ASPIRE initiative (Action to Strengthen Performance for Inclusive and Responsive Education). Appointments are contract-based and may be extended subject to performance and project requirements. Duty station is Karachi, with coordination across districts of Sindh.
Open Positions: Well-Being & Nutrition Specialist (PPS-09); Assessment Specialist/Consultant (PPS-09).
Project: ASPIRE — World Bank supported
Engagement: Individual consultancy (time-bound, performance-linked extension)
Work Setting: RSU head office, with field coordination and multi-stakeholder engagement
Application Deadline: Within 15 days of the advertisement’s publication (office hours apply)
Summary
If you are a sector professional who enjoys turning evidence into practical improvements in schools, these RSU Sindh jobs combine policy, planning, and on-the-ground delivery. The Well-Being & Nutrition Specialist (PPS-09) will design and guide a province-wide well-being and nutrition agenda for school-going children—aligning with public health standards, WASH integration, and realistic delivery models for districts. The Assessment Specialist/Consultant (PPS-09) will strengthen Sindh’s learning-assessment ecosystem—frameworks, item banks, administration plans, and data use—so that decision-makers can act on reliable evidence from classrooms to central directorates.
Both roles require strong communication, clear technical writing, and the ability to coordinate with policy makers, development partners, and field teams. Consultants will work closely with program directors and technical counterparts inside SE&LD, interpret World Bank guidelines where relevant, and produce outputs that can be used immediately by districts—no shelf reports.
