Start Fund Programme Officer

4 weeks ago

Belfast, United Kingdom Save the Children Full time

Save the Children UK has an exciting opportunity for a collaborative and organised individual with experience working within the humanitarian sector and proven experience of project cycle management to join us as our **Start Fund Programme Officer.**

**About Us**

Save the Children has an ambitious strategy to ensure that, by 2030, all children survive, learn and are protected from all forms of violence. The humanitarian department supports both the strengthening of our organisation's humanitarian capability as well as acknowledging the need to also support change within the humanitarian system in order to address the increasing frequency and severity of emergencies world-wide. The department is committed to build a stringer workplace culture, prioritising the wellbeing and resilience of those within it.

Start Network is made up of more than 50 aid agencies across five continents, ranging from large international to national NGOs. Together, our aim is to transform humanitarian action through innovation, fast funding, early action, and localisation.

We're tackling what we believe are the biggest systemic problems that the sector faces. Problems including slow and reactive funding, centralised decision-making, and an aversion to change mean that people affected by crises around the world do not receive the best help fast enough, and needless suffering results. Our work focuses on three areas to change the system; localisation, new forms of financing and collective innovation.
- _**About the role**

As the Start Fund Programme Officer will work as part of a team to implement the global Start Fund, which is the Start Network's flagship programme disbursing around £20m in awards to network member organisations each year. The global Start Fund provides rapid financing in response to underfunded small to medium scale crises, spikes in chronic humanitarian crises, and in anticipation of impending crises, filling a critical gap in humanitarian financing.

Key for the post-holder is engagement with Start Network member organisations, and effective coordination with the wider Start team, to ensure that the Start Fund continues to enable early, timely and effective humanitarian action.

You will also play a role in identifying and implementing technological solutions to improve Start Fund operational efficiency, and collaborating with the Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) team to ensure that learning contributes to strengthened programming, and a continually improving funding mechanism (the Start Funds). You will also support other areas of fund management as deemed necessary by the Start Fund Programme Manager, currently including crisis anticipation and support to national Start Funds (e.g., Start Fund Bangladesh and Start Fund Nepal).

**In this role, you will**:
As **Start Fund Programme Officer** you will work with a wide range of stakeholders within the Start Network and Start Platform. You will also be responsible for project and team administration, such as processing of disbursements and record keeping of all project documents. You will support reporting, project compliance and escalate complaints and incidents. Furthermore, you will:

- Provide support to the Start Fund Committee representatives and humanitarian personnel world-wide, in the decision-making processes
- Implement the Start Fund, while identifying ways on which the programme could be improved from an operational perspective
- Support MEAL colleagues to capture data accurately, analyse learning and emerging patterns to enable effective monitoring, evaluation and learning
- Represent the Start Fund and other Start Network initiatives internally and externally
- Support members, particularly local and national NGOs in accessing Start Fund through member engagement activities and critical review and support with Start Fund process adaptations.
- Contribute to the mainstreaming of anticipation and early action in the Start Funds through information sharing and capacity strengthening initiatives.

**About you**

To be successful you will have experience working within the humanitarian sector and proven experience of project cycle management. As well as a flexible ‘can do' attitude, you should have the ability to manage an unpredictable workload and use your initiative. Strong data management and analysis skills are essential, as is:

- Experience in organising events and engaging varied stakeholders in complex issues
- Proven skills in developing proposals and budgets, and in reporting and experience of financial management
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills with stakeholders at different levels
- Demonstrable experience of collaboration, including forging and maintain effective new relationships and partnerships, often across organizational boundaries.
- Commitment to Save the Children's vision, mission and values.
