DanChurchAid (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.
DanChurchAid 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. DanChurchAid works to help the world's poorest and most vulnerable people, and you will play a key role in supporting this work.
