Description:
Humanity & Inclusion is an independent and impartial aid organisation working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. The organisation works alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, taking action and bearing witness in order to respond to their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.
Since its creation in 1982, HI has run development programmes in more than 60 countries and responded to numerous emergencies. Today, we have a budget of approximately 255 million euros, with 4794 employees worldwide.
We at Handicap International-Humanity & Inclusion firmly think that diversity and inclusivity are essential to our organization. For this reason, we have a disability policy in place to promote the integration and inclusion of individuals with impairments.
JOB CONTEXT:
First offering rehabilitative assistance to refugees in the Somali area, Humanity & Inclusion (HI) has been operating in Ethiopia since 1986. By starting an Explosive Ordnance Risk Education initiative in 1997 to aid in the repatriation of Somali refugees in Ethiopia, HI broadened its scope of work. In order to improve the quality of life for those who are vulnerable and disabled, as well as to respond to emergencies, HI has expanded its activities throughout time.
Following its accreditation by the Ethiopian Mine Action Office in June 2024, HI has expanded its activities to include inclusive education, HIV/AIDS prevention, livelihoods, disaster risk reduction, child protection, disability mainstreaming, gender-based violence, empowerment of disabled person organizations (DPOs), food security, humanitarian assistance for individuals with disabilities and children with disabilities in refugee camps and among internally displaced persons (IDPs) through physical rehabilitation and WASH interventions, and mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) and protection-related activities.
YOUR GOAL:
Operational leadership and technical assistance for national personnel engaged in Humanitarian Mine Action (HMA) are the responsibilities of the Technical Field Manager (TFM). This include leading teams in the Land Release Process, IED clearing, Technical and Non-Technical Surveys, High Threat Search, and clearing. Through training and ongoing professional development, the TFM also helps national staff members increase their technical proficiency.
Furthermore, the TFM ensures seamless operations in the absence of the Chief of Operations (CoO) by filling in as their deputy as necessary. The TFM supervises Team Leaders and reports to the CoO and Program Manager, guaranteeing that HMA tasks are carried out efficiently. The position demands a proactive, committed commitment to assisting the teams and the purpose in achieving their goals.
