CARE Australia works to defeat global poverty by supporting women to create lasting change in their communities around the world.
CARE Australia is one of a small number of CARE International members that have taken on the additional responsibility of being a Lead Member. As such, the Head of Country Office Support acts as a key liaison point between CARE Australia and the Country Offices we support, fulfilling a variety of critical guidance, support and oversight functions. The role therefore requires a combination of strategic, operational, governance and stakeholder management skills.
However, as the international development sector continues to change and consistent with CARE’s commitment to being as locally-led in its operations, programming and structures as possible, CARE Australia is reimagining its Lead Member role as part of our new Strategic Intent and as part of the overarching CARE 2030 vision. As such, the Head of Country Office Support role will evolve in line with the changing relationship CARE Australia will have with its Country Offices into the future. The role of Head of Country Office Support (HCOS) is being advertised as a 12 month contract. It is expected that this role will likely be ongoing in some form (beyond this 12 month contract), but the skills, expectations and requirements of the role will only become clearer during that time.
CARE Australia will seek information from job applicants’ previous employers about incidents of sexual exploitation, sexual abuse and/or sexual harassment, and/or child abuse the applicant may have been found guilty to have committed or about which an investigation was in the process of being carried out at the time of the termination of the applicant’s employment with that employer. By submitting the application, the job applicant confirms that s/he has no objection to CARE Australia requesting the information specified above.
CARE Australia is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We value diversity and encourage applications from people living with a disability and/or have lived experience of disability. We also encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds to apply.
