1 week ago

London, United Kingdom World Jewish Relief Full time

About us

World Jewish Relief provides life-saving and life-changing action to people in crisis around the world. We work with our trusted local partners to help people survive the consequences of conflict and disaster, to thrive and rebuild their lives. We deliver programmes using our expertise, with urgency to achieve maximum and sustainable impact for those within and beyond our community.

Since 2021, we have established a broad and varied portfolio of climate resilience programmes implemented through local partners across Africa and Asia. These all enable communities to cope with and be better prepared for the consequences of the climate crises, and all focus on groups who are marginalised, e.g. landless, displaced, low caste, and religious minority groups. Specifically, they focus on livelihood resilience, early warning systems and preparedness, and climate resilient WASH, across Nepal, the Philippines, Bangladesh and Ethiopia.

About the role

We are now recruiting a knowledgeable and experienced Climate Resilience Programme Manager to continue leading our climate action strategy. The purpose of the role is to bring climate change expertise to grow, strengthen, deepen, and diversify our innovative programme portfolio, continue to minimise the negative environmental impacts of all of our programmes, and deepen our carbon emissions reduction strategy as we continue to expand the reach and impact of our organisation.

You will build strong partnerships by working closely alongside our local partners in programme design, technical knowledge, implementation and monitoring. It is anticipated that the post will include 3-4 overseas trips per annum.

The role affords huge scope for personal development, with the flexibility and autonomy needed to shape this critical area of programming. A particular objective will be to strengthen the M&E across the portfolio and access additional external funding for scaling up our climate resilience programmes.
