Would you like to be part of an exciting and growing team working to manage finance and risk in institutional grant funded projects designed to alleviate poverty, injustice and humanitarian suffering?
Grants Compliance Officer
Circa £30,000 depending on experience
Milton Keynes
The world’s largest privately funded overseas aid charity, we deliver real change for millions of children in the hardest places on earth. Our mission is to bring governments, local authorities, community groups, businesses and individuals together to tackle the causes of injustice and poverty – and to make a real and lasting difference in almost 100 countries. When you join our 40,000 passionate people, your work will be felt where it matters.
We are looking for a Grants Compliance Officer to be responsible for the financial and contract management of international development and humanitarian relief grants from major institutional donors including grants from DFID, the EC, United Nations and the DEC. You will work alongside colleagues in the Policy & Programmes Group and international field offices to ensure that our grants are managed in accordance with donor requirements, upholding the principles of financial accountability and risk management.
This is a role that is UK based involving 30% of time on international travel to our field offices, many of them in fragile contexts, to monitor financial performance and compliance of grant-funded projects, provide training and promote effective standards of grants management.
We are looking for someone who brings strong relationship building skills, a good sense of humour and perseverance, underpinned by expertise in financial management and compliance.
Perhaps you are currently working in audit, compliance or risk management in a commercial or professional services firm with a passion for international development, or you could be a humanitarian professional already familiar with the challenges, potential and complexity of grant management…. if so this job could be for you.
The role will have a 50% focus on supporting a large DFID health grant in the Democratic Republic of Congo and, as such, French language skills would be an advantage and a willingness to travel to the region a necessity.
