About VSO
VSO is the world's leading development organisation that works through volunteers to fight poverty. We are unique in the way we bring people together to share their skills and experience, generate insights and ideas and, most of all, take action against poverty and exclusion. It's a highly effective approach that works, and today is helping millions of people in some of the world's poorest communities lift themselves out of poverty.
Role overview
VSO is committed to designing and delivering programmes that are evidence-based, reflective, effective and accountable. The process of evaluating our work, and utilising that learning to improve quality and effectiveness is a central process in our programme framework.
This position leads a team responsible for the generation of quality evidence and thematic expertise across VSO's portfolio of work and for managing the overall learning and knowledge management process for effective programming.
