CHRISTIAN AID COLOMBIA IS LOOKING FOR EXPERIENCED AND COMMITTED PROGRAMME OFFICER WITH A GENDER PROFILE

The Colombia programme addresses the root causes of poverty, inequality and armed conflict. We challenge the systems that prevent the fulfilment of human rights for all. We are radical in the sense that we speak out alongside our partners against unjust systems. Our programme focuses on the closely interlinked issues of land and territory, inequality, impunity, vulnerable communities and human rights defenders.

The selected Programme Officer will be assigned specific partnerships and projects within the Colombia programme and responsibilities related to fundraising, communications, advocacy work and institutional learning. Managing the Programme’s Power and Gender Plan is an essential part of the job. She or he will be supervised by the Country Manager and also work closely with the other Programme Officer in the office. The selected candidate will also work closely with the Colombia Programme´s Finance Officer and colleagues in London, Madrid and Dublin.

About you

You are an experienced and committed Programme Officer with extensive field experience from rural Colombia. In previous jobs you have worked with projects focused on human rights, protection, addressing impunity and building peace. You also have experience in promoting gender justice.

Your motivation comes from a political commitment to help address the root causes of the internal armed conflict to build a just and peaceful society and you have a profound respect for the partners and communities we work with.

You are also innovative and have new ideas as to how the programme can develop taking into account new challenges and opportunities from the rapidly changing context. Your communications skills are strong and enable you to build strong partnerships across boundaries and based on common values and goals.
