Accountability & Learning Officer - Improve humanitarian responses through evidence and learning
London, N1
Full-time, Permanent
Salary of circa £36,000 per annum
When humanitarian crises strike, the DEC stands poised to co-ordinate and deliver incredible responses around the world.
Learning and insight are essential to improving how we respond and we’re now looking for an Accountability & Learning Officer to directly contribute to learning and growth for the DEC and our 15 member charities.
We need someone with monitoring and evaluation experience and a strong understanding of humanitarian crises globally to play a vital role in our dedicated charity.

When large-scale disasters strike countries that lack the resources to respond, we bring our member charities together to raise funds quickly and efficiently. In times of crisis, our mission is to save, protect, and rebuild lives through effective humanitarian action.
Working as one, we coordinate the UK public’s response to overseas disasters. Through our Rapid Response Network of media and corporate partners, we raise the alarm with the UK public and make donating as easy as possible, with most funds raised within the first two weeks of an appeal.
Since our launch in 1963, we have run 79 appeals and raised an astounding £2.5bn, helping save countless lives and rebuild communities.
At the DEC, accountability and learning are not just processes, they are a commitment to the people affected by disaster and will aid our growth and the development of our members.

This will include analysing their focus areas, strengths, gaps, levels of coordination, and alignment with local policy priorities.
-
Deliver facilitation support for 2 in-person and additional virtual civil society convenings.
-
Co-design a movement building training package, including a guide for future use with guidance on shared strategy, collaboration structures, mapping additional civil society organisations, and communication mechanisms.
