Within our Policy, Advocacy and Programmes department, our Humanitarian Programme Quality and Assurance Specialists work closely with ActionAid colleagues and sponsors around the world in ensuring that donor-funded programmes are managed effectively and improve the lives of women and girls.

This role will utilise your existing humanitarian grant management and donor knowledge to support ActionAid’s delivery of multiple projects in line with the Core Humanitarian Standards Group Verification process.

**Some things to consider**:
ActionAid is committed to supporting flexible working. If you would like to discuss flexible working options, including the possibility of a job share for this role, there will be space to do so during the interview process.

As a minimum, all colleagues are expected to attend the office 12 days per year, plus additional time for induction, training, and “Company Connection days.” Some roles may require in-office attendance on **all **days and if so, these will clearly be marked as in-office roles. **Please note that ActionAid UK does not offer fully remote working options**. We encourage you to discuss hybrid working expectations at interview.
