The International Labour Office (ILO) is looking for an individual to undertake work as an External Collaborator. Below is a summary of the work to be performed:

The International Labour Organization (ILO) is seeking an experienced professional editor to provide substantive editing and copyediting services for the Older Workers Thematic Brief Series, developed under the Intergenerational Employment (INTERGEN) Project. The series comprises six interconnected policy briefs covering social protection, social dialogue, working conditions, disability and discrimination, skills development, employment services, and occupational safety and health. Each brief is limited to 10,000 words including references.

The six briefs will be edited on a rolling basis as drafts become available, in close coordination with the ILO project team. Applicants must provide three examples of ILO publications they have personally edited, specifying their editorial role in each.
