Job Profile

The EPO is a full-time position supporting the oversight of an existing humanitarian  portfolio as well as monitoring and developing new partnerships and projects for rapid on-set emergencies.

The position has a multi-regional remit to contribute to the delivery of effective and high-quality humanitarian assistance to new and ongoing humanitarian crises. As part of CAFOD’s Emergency Response Group- the EPO provides programme management and support capacity to humanitarian programmes.  Working with partners is central to CAFOD’s humanitarian response and the EPO will play an important role in identifying, and supporting partners to prepare for, mitigate the impact of, and respond to disasters and crises by providing support, knowledge and building long-term capacity.  All roles undertaken by the EPO will have the aim of achieving peace, security and recovery in accordance with CAFOD’s mission and values.

The post will seek to support regional and national CAFOD staff as necessary.  The building and maintenance of day to day relationships with partners is essential to the job. The role will be expected to work closely together with International Development Group (IDG) country teams when a disaster strikes and on other ongoing pieces of work.

Job Scope

A key component of this role is to be a part of CAFOD's Emergency Response Group (ERG) – providing immediate support to our humanitarian responses in Asia, Middle East, Latin America and Caribbean, as well as remote support for country teams. As a result of numerous rapid onset emergencies within these regions in recent years ERG has been working on a wide portfolio which has included several large programmes (Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, Nepal earthquakes, Rohingya Refugee Crisis and Indonesia Tsunami and Earthquakes).

This role will be expected to be able to support a wide range of humanitarian responses with different thematic focus and in different areas of the world. The primary focus is expected to be on Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean rather than the Middle East. The post holder may be asked to support other regions on a needs basis.

The EPO in conjunction with regional teams supports ongoing humanitarian programmes and maintains, holds and supports key partnerships. The post holder will also function as the main contact person for partners and projects that do not fall under a country programme in the International Development Group but where CAFOD has emergency programmes/projects and/or a strategic engagement (For example: Nepal, Philippines, Indonesia, India, Haiti, Venezuela and Antilles).

A lot of work and effort has gone into building relationships with specific partners – this role requires a dedicated person to continue and maintain these relationships in a consistent and positive manner. 

CAFOD’s humanitarian response comes before during and after emergencies. Our three core approaches are: 

(a) Capacity building of partners, in areas such as emergency preparedness, safeguarding, programme management, protection, WASH, food security and financial management. 

(b) Facilitation, in which we work alongside partners to help ensure the delivery of a programme. This is our most common way of working.

(c) Implementation, where CAFOD takes on a more direct implementation role in the delivery of a programme when local partners lack the capacity to scale up rapidly. 

An important part of the EPO role is to provide support to CAFOD programmes, staff and national partners in the implementation of humanitarian programmes, including assessments, monitoring, reviews and evaluations.

Another element of the role includes the provision of support to the Head of Humanitarian Programmes (HHP) and to the Humanitarian Funding Team to enlarge humanitarian partners and donors’ portfolio for those regions.

The post holder will be expected to work closely together and in coordination with relevant IDG country teams, comms/media, and where relevant major donors.

The post holder will provide support in the development of regional humanitarian strategies as well as country level preparedness plans where relevant.

Accountability

The post holder is line managed by the Head of Humanitarian Programmes within the Emergency Response Group. The role does not have line management or budget responsibilities.

The post holder will be expected to work closely with the Humanitarian Funding team; particularly with regard to the technical review of institutional proposals and reports prior to submission to donors.
