ACTIONAID WORKS WITH WOMEN AND CHILDREN WHO ARE EXCLUDED AND LIVE IN
POVERTY, AS THEY TAKE THE LEAD IN CLAIMING THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS, AND
CHANGING SYSTEMS IN SOCIETY THAT ARE UNJUST. THE WOMEN IN THESE
COMMUNITIES TAKE THE LEAD - THEY DECIDE THEIR PRIORITIES, AND WE
SUPPORT THEM AS THEY ENGAGE WITH THE REST OF THEIR COMMUNITY AND THE
WIDER POWER STRUCTURES IN SOCIETY, TO BRING ABOUT CHANGE FOR THE
BETTER THAT BENEFITS THE WHOLE COMMUNITY. WE ALSO WORK TOGETHER TO
HOLD OUR GOVERNMENTS AND INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS TO ACCOUNT,
CAMPAIGNING SIDE BY SIDE TO ACHIEVE MEANINGFUL LONG-TERM CHANGE TO
CREATE A MORE JUST AND CARING WORLD.
ACTIONAID IRELAND?S STRATEGY **APPLY ON THE WEBSITE** IS TO CREATE A
JUST AND CARING WORLD WHERE WOMEN?S HUMAN RIGHTS ARE RESPECTED
THROUGH ADDRESSING THE STRUCTURAL CAUSES OF GENDER BASED VIOLENCE
(GBV), PROMOTING WOMEN?S LEADERSHIP IN HUMANITARIAN CONTEXTS AND
AMPLIFYING FEMINIST ALTERNATIVES ON ECONOMIC AND CLIMATE JUSTICE.
ACTIONAID IRELAND?S STRATEGY ALSO MAKES CLEAR COMMITMENTS TO
ANTI-RACISM, SHIFTING POWER AND DECOLONISATION, EMBEDDING LEARNING AND
EVALUATION AND SAFEGUARDING. HUMAN RIGHTS BASED APPROACHES ARE AT THE
HEART OF ACTIONAID?S WORK.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced and senior
programming leader, with a strong understanding of development and
humanitarian programming and rooted policy change. You will have
strong experience in gender based violence, women?s leadership and
seeking structural change. You will drive a programme that is
locally-led and that ensures the participation of women at the heart
of this work to deliver meaningful change from the local, national,
regional and international levels.
As Head of Programmes you will be a key leader within Action Aid
Ireland?s Senior Leadership Team and will play a pivotal role in
implementing our strategy. You are responsible for leading ActionAid
Ireland?s programmes and team and will oversee programme
implementation- largely in the Global South but with some programming
in Ireland, programmatic innovation, grant/contract management and
embedding policy analysis within programming.
You will nurture a rooted programme that seeks to shift power and
achieve systemic change. You will work closely with an international
and diverse team of programme and policy experts on Women?s Rights
for ActionAid Ireland?s strategy and also across the ActionAid
Federation, engaged in promoting system change and shifting power to
women, youth and local organisations and movements.
You will be a champion for women?s and girls? rights, committed to
shifting power and passionate about feminist change and leadership.
You will be able to tackle complex challenges and see the bigger
strategic picture. You will be an empathetic and supportive colleague,
able to build trusting and authentic relationships with colleagues and
partners.
_WE ARE COMMITTED TO CONTINUALLY IMPROVING THE DIVERSITY OF OUR
WORKFORCE AND THEREFORE ENCOURAGE APPLICATIONS FROM PEOPLE OF COLOUR,
THE LGBTQI+ COMMUNITY, THE TRANS COMMUNITY, AND THOSE WITH A
DISABILITY._
