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.

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.

- Helping members to achieve their climate and environment targets

- An understanding of and interest in key policy areas within the humanitarian system
- The ability to thoroughly check and clean large datasets and analyse quantitative and qualitative data
- A degree-level qualification (ideally a post-graduate level qualification) in a relevant discipline

How We’ll Support You
- Flexible working hours (outside of an appeal)
- 25 days' annual leave, rising with length of service (3 years: 27 days. 5 years: 30 days)
- 3% employers’ pension contribution, rising to 8% post probation
