Poverty is an outrage against humanity. It robs people of dignity, freedom and hope, and of power over their own lives. Christian Aid has a vision – an end to poverty – and we believe that vision can become a reality.
Christian Aid has been working in the Middle East for over 30 years, and working with its partners in Syria to provide life-saving humanitarian relief to the most vulnerable communities, whilst also helping to rebuild Syrian society by investing in young people and providing them with skills and opportunities to rebuild their lives.

This is a really exciting time to join the team as we scale up our response in Syria, and are now looking for a highly motivated person to lead on the financial management of an EU funded project with our local partner in Syria, building the resilience of young people across multiple locations.
