Tearfund is looking for a highly skilled UK-based Advisor to further develop its capacity in empowerment and inclusion of the people it serves within Tearfund's international relief and development work. This is to be achieved through building organisational and partner capacity and effectiveness in Tearfund's twelve Quality Standards.
The post holder will advise Tearfund staff at all levels dealing with Community Development, Church Mobilisation, Disaster Management, Social Enterprise and Advocacy on Tearfund’s Quality Standards, with a particular emphasis on empowerment and inclusion.

The candidate will be asked to focus on prioritising different specific Quality Standards over time, and take a collaborative approach to Quality Standards led by others, which are currently Disaster Risk, Conflict, Environment, HIV, Technical Quality and Advocacy.
This will enable Tearfund to build and report on the extent and effectiveness of its work across all its Quality Standards. The post will be based in the Technical Competencies Unit, within our Learning, Information, Advice and Support Team.
The candidate will have a graduate qualification or equivalent level of knowledge in a development related subject and proven experience in working with inclusion of vulnerable people and gender empowerment, and the building of organisational capacity across a broad range of international humanitarian, development and technical standards.
