Rehabilitation Specialist

Starting date: 01/02/2023

Duration of the contract: 36 months

Context :

The Syrian crisis is in its 11th years and is still in semi-acute emergency, shifting slowly to resilience. According to 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. 11 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. From its office in Amman, HI is managing its Syria program which is implemented via three different hubs (Beirut, North-West and North-East), along four main pillars:

1. Support to health partners (hospitals, psychosocial support centers, local NGOs) for the provision of multidisciplinary rehabilitation services (physical rehabilitation, psychosocial support and/or prosthetics and orthotics) and standalone psychosocial support services, through training, technical supervisions and donations of assistive devices and/or equipment;
2. Humanitarian Mine action (HMA), including education to the risks and effects caused by conventional weapons (including mines, explosive remnants of war and small arms light weapons), non-technical survey of hazardous areas and clearance operations.
3. Livelihoods assistance, with a combination of cash for work, vocational training, small grants for businesses and apprenticeships;
4. Training and technical support to other humanitarian actors on the inclusion of persons with disabilities and other vulnerable persons in the humanitarian response (with a special focus on inclusive health and inclusive livelihoods).
   The actual intervention is based on a mix of remote management of national teams, remote partnerships with local structures and organizations, and direct implementation programs.
   To carry out of this project, HI is looking for Rehabilitation Specialist for 36 months based in Amman – Jordan.
