The Humanitarian Programme Officer (HPO) is a core member of Christian Aid Ireland (CAI)’s humanitarian team, responsible for managing and contributing to the delivery and growth of CAI’s humanitarian portfolio across a range of institutional donors and funding mechanisms. The HPO leads the full grant cycle – including programme design, proposal development, implementation, monitoring, compliance, reporting, and close-out – ensuring high-quality delivery aligned with donor and organisational requirements.

The postholder will be responsible for ensuring that programme and grant information is accurately and consistently recorded in Christian Aid’s programme management systems, including iPIMS, in line with organisational standards.

The postholder provides technical and operational support across CAI’s humanitarian, resilience, and climate programmes, including humanitarian response (Sclr, Cash Programming, WaSH, Food Security, Shelter), peacebuilding and conflict prevention, gender-based violence prevention and response, resilience building, and climate change adaptation.

The HPO works closely with colleagues across CAI and Christian Aid globally, as well as with regional and country teams and national and local implementing partners. The role involves overseas travel to fragile and crisis-affected contexts and providing surge capacity during early stages of emergency responses.

The postholder will be expected to undertake other reasonable duties consistent with the nature and level of this role, including responding to organisational and donor priorities as required. While the role may have a primary focus on particular donors or funding streams at any given time, the postholder will work as part of a wider humanitarian team and may contribute, as required, to other donor portfolios and humanitarian initiatives in line with organisational priorities.
