Are you a Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) practitioner experienced in leading MEAL in humanitarian settings?
UK-Med is a frontline medical aid charity. Born of the British National Health Service, we’ve been working for over 30 years towards a world where everyone has the healthcare they need when crises or disasters hit.
We are seeking for Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning practitioners to join our Register with experience working in humanitarian contexts. You will be able to make yourself available to travel and work internationally at short notice for a minimum of 4-6 weeks (longer availability may is highly desirable).
Our ideal candidates will have significant experience of managing and leading MEAL efforts in setup and implementation of humanitarian responses, ideally with experience in health programming. You will be confident and capable developing, implementing and managing MEAL systems for complex programmes in challenging contexts. Furthermore, you must have experience of feeding programmatic MEAL into organisational learning to ensure future programme quality and alignment with organisational priorities.
As a MEAL Manager on our responses, you will be instrumental in enabling UK-Med to effectively understand and communicate its impact in our interventions. You will also:
- Be the response level MEAL go-to-person and provide support to UK-Med’s Operations, Health and Learning teams where necessary.
- Provide support for external audit and quality assurance processes that UK-Med may be looking to undertake.
You will be determined, high performing, compassionate and collaborative, as well as being committed to learning and supporting others to learn. Language skills will be an advantage.
At the same time UK-Med tries to provide feedback to applicants and share with them where they have fallen short in the competitive process, it may be very difficult to provide individual feedback. Especially looking at the large number of applications UK-Med receives and the multiple recruitments taking place at the same time, specifically during times of ongoing emergency surges.
