National practice leads jobs in central bedfordshire, hampshire

Global Health Partnerships (GHP – formerly THET) is a global health charity working in partnership with governments, health institutions, and international bodies to train health workers and strengthen health systems across 31 countries. We do this through grants management and capacity building, alongside research, convening and advocacy towards the goal of Universal Health Coverage (UHC). At the centre of our approach, is the model of Health Partnerships, long-term relationships between UK and low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) health institutions, which improve health services through the reciprocal exchange of skills, knowledge, and experience.

You’ll work with local and national partners to build the support, tools and connections that help this work land well in different contexts. You’ll also help grow a network of towns committed to long-term, locally-led change, sharing learning and building momentum together.

The successful candidate will bring experience of designing and delivering programmes across different locations. You’ll be confident building partnerships, translating ideas into clear offers, and creating practical tools others can use. You’ll work well across sectors, be comfortable managing complexity, and bring a collaborative and relational leadership style.

This is a permanent, full-time role (four-day working week on compressed hours). The role is remote with regular travel across the UK, including visits to London and our client partner towns.

As a specialist Recruitment Practice, we are committed to building inclusive and diverse organisations, and welcome applications from all sections of the community. We invest in your journey as a candidate and are committed to supporting you in your application.

Accountability & Learning Officer - Improve humanitarian responses through evidence and  learning

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.

About Us

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) is a unique membership organisation made up of 15 of the UK’s leading humanitarian charities: Action Against Hunger, ActionAid UK, Age International, British Red Cross, CAFOD, CARE International UK, Christian Aid, Concern Worldwide (UK), International Rescue Committee, Islamic Relief Worldwide, Oxfam GB, Plan International UK, Save the Children UK, Tearfund, and World Vision UK.

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. Your work will help ensure the funds we raise are used effectively and transparently, and that every appeal we launch is an opportunity to do better, together.

You will be responsible for the strategic and operational oversight of our finances, ensuring compliance with all statutory requirements while ensuring our services are sustainable through sound financial planning.
