Develop and oversee the systems to monitor and evaluate activities and their impact
Evaluate and enhance existing data collection tools used during previous monitoring exercises
Evaluate and enhance existing metrics to measure attitudinal and behavioural change resulting from programme activities.
Design the implementation plan to monitor and evaluate programme delivery.
Contribute to the development of Concordis’ peacebuilding methodology, policy, strategy and monitoring and evaluation.
Responsible for programme monitoring and evaluation
Ensure the programme adapts and evolves to meet the needs identified, remaining accountable to communities affected by conflict.
Monitor against performance indicators to check that the project is delivering as planned. Identify issues and agree action plans to address.
Monitor against the Theory of Change and ensure the programme is achieving the intended impact. If not, identify what needs to change and how to create that change.
Capture learning and identify what worked, what didn’t work and what we’d do differently next time.
Responsible for producing timely internal and external reports
Lead the MEAL team to produce monthly and bi-annual donor reports on all regional programme activities.
Generate clear, professional and visually attractive reports that explain the impact of our work and the recommendations from our dialogues.
Work with the Communications team producing informal news items, telling the story of the impact of our work and publicising the recommendations that come from dialogues facilitated by Concordis.
Create a culture of accountability and learning across the Regional Team
Lead on ensuring staff across the programme understand the role of MEAL in their work and have the skills to operate the required systems and capture the data.
Deliver training and coaching on our approach to MEAL, techniques and tools to the wider team.
Leadership responsibility in the Regional Team
Deputise for the Central African Regional Director in their absence.
As part of the regional Senior Leadership Team oversee the work and staff teams in the regional hubs in CAR, Cameroon, Chad and Sudan.
Concordis works alongside those involved in or affected by armed conflict, helping them find workable solutions.

The vacancy
Could you be a Caseworker for vulnerable young people? Could you give them the support and guidance they need to get back on their feet and live independently?
The young people we work with have become homeless for a number of reasons – isolation or mental ill health, abusive relationships, substance misuse, involvement in gangs/county lines - their issues are complex so you will need to be able to build strong, trusting relationships so that our customers feel safe and supported.
We are opening two new supported housing schemes in Lewisham. Both schemes are part of our well-established Young Persons and Complex Needs service in London and will provide temporary housing for young people aged 16-17 who are experiencing homelessness.
A bit about the role:
As a Caseworker, you will be working with a team of highly motivated, compassionate, and dedicated colleagues supporting a caseload of young customers with complex needs. You’ll need to meet each customer weekly to help them with their goals and discuss their progress. And, when someone’s ready to move on, we'll rely on you to help them access the housing register or look for suitable rented accommodation.
What we’re looking for:
You may have worked with vulnerable young people in a paid or voluntary capacity, maybe as a Youth Worker or in an education setting providing pastoral care. You’re a great relationship builder, who can create trust so that our young people feel comfortable sharing their issues with you, you listen but in a non-judgemental way and you are able to spot signs for concern and act on them.
You’ll also need to be able to work on your own, sometimes dealing with challenging situations and diffusing them to avoid escalation. Is this you?
- Relationship building skills
- Empathy
- Great listening skills
- Diplomacy and the ability to deal with challenging situations and diffuse them
- Non judgmental
- Proactive and assertive
This role will require an Enhanced DBS check.
It is essential that you are able to work 37.5 hours a week – we are not a UK licenced sponsor and any sponsorship with another employer is not valid for this role.
Please note if appointed your job title will be Housing Support Worker.
A bit about us:
It started over 160 years ago with one man’s desire to improve the lives of poverty-stricken Londoners. Today, we have 107,000 homes and 220,000 residents across London and the Home Counties and around 20,000 care and support customers. But the desire remains the same – to create homes and communities where people can flourish.
Here just a few of the benefits for working at Peabody:
- Up to 25 days’ annual holiday plus bank holidays
- Flexible benefits scheme, including options for Healthcare, Dental care, Critical illness cover, vouchers, technology scheme and access to a discount portal.
- 4 x Life Assurance
- Competitive salaries that are benchmarked regularly against current market rates
