Who are we?
Islamic Relief is an international relief and development agency striving to alleviate poverty and suffering around the world regardless of colour, race, or religion.
Established in 1984 in response to the widespread famine in Africa, Islamic Relief has grown to be a well-known and respected aid agency providing disaster relief and supporting the sustainable development of vulnerable communities in over 40 countries. Islamic Relief specialises in Education and training, Health and Nutrition, Water and sanitation, Income Generation, Orphans’ Support, Emergency Relief, and Disaster Preparedness.
Islamic Relief Worldwide is a member of the UK Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) and is an implementing partner for DFID, ECHO, the World Food Programme, and UNHCR. Islamic Relief Australia (IRAUS) is a member of the Islamic Relief family, sharing a common vision, mission, and family identity, all of whom use the term “Islamic Relief” as part of their organisational name.
Islamic Relief Australia has an annual turnover of approximately $14 million and employs 15 staff and over 150 volunteers throughout Australia to support local and international emergency, welfare and development projects, as well as fundraising and advocacy work. Islamic Relief Australia is an active member of the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) and adheres to the ACFID Code of Conduct which defines minimum standards of governance, management and accountability of development for non-government organisations (NGOs).
Who are we looking for?
The Local Programs Officer’s role is to coordinate, support and manage the IRAUS Local Programs Strategy to achieve significant growth and quality impacts. The position will deliver across two primary modalities for local programming:
1. To lead and manage small local projects where IRAUS is the implementing agent;
2. To coordinate and support local IRAUS partner projects managed by local Not-For-Profits and Community-Based Organisations.
Both modalities require efficient and effective project development skills, project cycle management and grant management expertise, the ability to apply quality and accountability frameworks, and the ability to effectively engage members of the community in Australia.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the Director of Programs and Institutional Relations in the management of the portfolio of local emergency, welfare and development projects directly implemented by IRAUS and its local partners in Australia.
- Contribute to organisational planning and strategic direction setting for IRAUS local programs.
- Support, manage and motivate staff and volunteers directly involved in local programs and projects.
- Assist the Director with program development, assessing opportunities for IRAUS to engage in local and international programming, designing proposals, and liaising with partners and beneficiaries.
- Facilitate, manage, coordinate or support project implementation teams to efficiently and effectively perform each function of project cycle management – from project identification and design, through implementation, monitoring, review and evaluation, learning and reporting.
- Support local partners (Not-for-Profit and Community Based Organisations) to develop their capacities to design, implement, monitor, and evaluate local and international projects, and comply with and meet regulation requirements.
- Ensure quality and accountability in local program and project monitoring and evaluation activities, ensuring that IRAUS-supported projects comply with requirements and meet minimum financial management and audit requirements.
Skill Requirements
- Significant previous experience in a similar role, at a local level.
- Qualified to a degree level, ideally in the social sciences, including social work.
- At least 2 years of experience working with local programs in a community development setting.
- At least 2 years experience in program development, monitoring and evaluation.
- Knowledge and understanding of program implementation within the charity sector.
- Good leadership and people management skills.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English. Additional relevant language skills will be highly regarded.
- Cross-cultural communication skills and knowledge of Islamic faith values.
- Report and proposal writing skills.
- Complex problem-solving and decision-making skills.
