Check my CVPeace Direct is an international charity with a big mission: to work with local people to stop violence and build sustainable peace in some of the world's most conflict affected countries. More than that, we want to change the international system so that it better supports the role that local people and communities play in preventing violence and building and sustaining peace.
We are looking for an experienced Senior Advisor with a passion for exploring questions of programme impact and learning. We're looking for a creative thinker; someone who is willing to challenge conventional M&E wisdom and practice. So if you love logframes and think they are the best tool for M&E, this is probably not the job for you. The work that our local partners do, in some of the most volatile confict affected countries around the world, doesn't fit neatly into standard MEL/MEAL frameworks, so we are looking for someone who will help us design - hand in hand with our partners - frameworks that do work for local organisations, are adaptive and not extractive. This isn't easy, particularly as we need to tread the fine line between accountability to our donors and the need to support our partners to be accountable to their communities and to be flexible and adaptive.
We are looking for an experienced practitioner, with at least five years experience in developing learning frameworks and approaches. You will have a solid track record of supporting staff and local partners to think about impact and how to measure it in contextually appropriate ways. We are also looking for some who has a firm commitment to supporting local efforts, in exploring ways to shift power to local actors and in transforming the international system so that is more attuned to the needs and perspectives of local actors.
Finally, we are looking for someone who is creative, calm and adaptable even under the most challenging of circumstances. The work we support around the world is based in some of the most volatile contexts, and things often don't go according to plan. We are looking for people who thrive under these situations.

Do you want to play a key role in a growing, experienced and passionate team supporting and shaping CARE International UK’s Inclusive Governance portfolio? Join the Programme Quality Team!
Why work for us?
The Programme Quality Team is at the centre of CIUK’s new strategy for the delivery of high quality and impactful programming within CARE. The team delivers high quality technical assistance to CARE offices around the world in the areas of Women’s Economic Justice, Inclusive Governance, Emergency Shelter and Gender and Resilience. The team also provides thought leadership, learning as well as a global perspective to CARE programmes.
As a multi-sector, dual-mandate organization, CARE works in most of the world’s fragile and conflict-affected settings, where the majority of crisis-affected, poor and marginalized people live. A renewed focus of CARE’s new 2030 vision is to emphasize CARE’s capacity to support integrated pathways from crisis to stabilisation, recovery and sustainable peace and development.
Here we embrace the humanitarian-development-peace nexus – focused on reducing demand for humanitarian assistance by addressing its root causes which lie in poverty, inequality, poor governance and denial of human rights.
To do this we adapt our programmes and partnerships to support humanitarian and development outcomes that contribute sustainable governance and peace, ensuring CARE has the right programming and capacity in the right context and can quickly and effectively shift between interventions as appropriate.

This includes putting women at the centre of these solutions to ‘Build Back Equal’. It requires an individual with significant, grounded expertise, who has analytical, social and leadership skills to manage complexity as part of a large, global Confederation, and embrace collaboration and accompaniment as part of their role.

You are a passionate, self-motivated and experienced expert on Governance and Peacebuilding with strong knowledge of the institutional donor landscape in this field, including US, UK and EU donors.
