DanChurchAid is looking for a visionary Head of HR
Dan Church Aid (Folkekirkens Nødhjælp) is looking for an experienced and visionary Head of Human Resources to join our dynamic team. Reporting directly to the Director for Finance and Operations and working closely with the entire Senior Management, you will lead, manage, and support an HR team of 10 staff members while playing a key role in driving larger organisational initiatives. The role will be dual-faceted: on one hand, you will manage the essential HR operations that support our head office and 19 country offices across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. On the other hand, you will - in close cooperation with the Secretary General - drive strategic organisational-wide initiatives and processes, enhance staff welfare, diversity, inclusion, equality and belonging, competence- and organisational development, and leadership across the organisation. This to ensure that DCA can respond adequately and with agility in its operations, structures and systems.
Dan Church Aid is one of Denmark's largest and most professional humanitarian organisations, reaching about 5 million people annually through our global disaster and development work. We employ more than 1,200 staff across 19 country offices and manage an annual budget of approximately 1 billion DKK. We are deeply rooted in Denmark, with over 10,000 volunteers across the country. Dan Church Aid works to help the world's poorest and most vulnerable people, and you will play a key role in supporting this work.
Key Responsibilities:
At Dan Church Aid, you will be part of a mission-driven organisation, an international and dynamic workplace with a high level of professionalism and a strong value set. An organisation that sees its people as its greatest asset. We offer a supportive and inclusive work environment where you can make a meaningful impact both within the organisation and in the communities we serve. This is a unique opportunity to combine operational HR leadership with strategic organisational development, shaping the future of our NGO.
Employment and remuneration according to Dan Church Aid’s protocol for Chief consultants to the AC collective agreement. Good pension scheme. You will be employed full-time and should expect travel activity of 2 to 4 weeks annually, sometimes to conflict-affected areas.
At Dan Church Aid, we place a high value on good leadership. Therefore, you will participate in a leadership development program together with the rest of DCA’s leadership group.
We may not be able to match the salary levels of the private sector, but we can offer highly meaningful work.
Application and Contact
If you're ready to take on this exciting challenge, please submit your application, including your resume, a copy of relevant certificates, and a compelling cover letter outlining your qualifications and motivation for joining DCA no later than 5th November 2024. We expect to conduct the first interview on 13th November, and the second interview on 18th November.
