Description

Tearfund is looking for a visionary leader to facilitate the design of impactful development and humanitarian programmes around the world. If you are able to envision opportunities that do not yet exist; translate strategy into compelling programmatic designs; and inspire others to pursue that vision then this role may be for you!

We are looking for a person who can work closely with teams around the world to blend the best of Tearfund's capabilities with those of its partners to transform the lives of people in communities experiencing the intersection of poverty, climate change and conflict. In addition to being an inspiring leader, the ideal candidate will bring a deep understanding of development and/or humanitarian programming, experience working with different types of funding streams, and adopt highly relational approaches to engage with culturally diverse teams. This is an exciting new role with significant potential to shape the future of large-scale programming in countries around the world.

Tearfund is a Christian INGO which partners with local churches in more than 50 of the world's poorest countries. We tackle poverty and injustice through influencing, provision of grants to build up local partners, and through large-scale programming where necessary.

As the team is undergoing some change at this time we are recruiting for at least one of two of these roles but with slightly different responsibilities. Candidates will be able to express their preference as part of the interview process.

This role can be based in any Country where Tearfund is registered and able to employ staff. Salary will be dependent on location.

This role is fixed term for 2 years.

Applicants must be committed to Tearfund's Christian beliefs and have a deep faith in the exceeding abundance of God's provision. (Faith is considered to be a genuine occupational requirement - Equality Act 2010.)

The recruitment process will include specific checks related to safeguarding issues. In addition, personal identification information will be submitted against a Watchlist database to check against criminal convictions as a counter-terror measure.
