JOB CONTEXT :

The Syrian crisis is the greatest humanitarian crisis of the last 20 years. According to the latest UN figures, about 11.7 million people are currently affected by the crisis in Syria, including about 6 million IDPs, while over 5 million Syrians have sought refuge in neighbouring countries or in Europe. The current humanitarian response only provides a patchy and partial coverage of the growing humanitarian needs. Eight years after the beginning of the crisis, the number of injured persons in Syria keeps rising, with a severe lack of healthcare in many areas. In large areas of the country, the local economy is in bad shape, local populations and IDPs are in need of livelihoods assistance. The inclusion of the most vulnerable, including persons with disabilities, in the humanitarian response remains a major concern.

HI is managing a large humanitarian program along 4 main pillars:

1. Support to health partners for the provision of multidisciplinary rehabilitation and standalone psychosocial support services, through training, technical supervisions and donations of assistive devices and/or equipment

2. Mine action

3. Livelihoods assistance, with a combination of cash for work, vocational training, small grants for businesses and apprenticeships

4. Training and technical support to humanitarian actors on the inclusion of persons with disabilities and vulnerable persons in the humanitarian response

This is an exciting opportunity to join an intervention that reduces the disability specific risks and barriers, enhances capacities among those persons most at risk of vulnerability and harm in the existing emergency relief and social services available. It brings a rare expertise to a strong consortium of NGO’s aiming to improve resilience and positive coping mechanisms in a complex crisis and post conflict environment.

The actual intervention is based on a mix of remote management of national teams, partnerships with local structures and organizations, and direct implementation.
