Description
Place: Amman - Jordan Starting date: August 20th 2026 Duration of contract: 6 months Closing date for applications: 26th July 2026 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. At Handicap International-Humanity & Inclusion, we truly believe in the importance of inclusion and diversity within our organisation. This is why we are engaged to a disability policy to encourage the inclusion and integration of people with disabilities. Please indicate if you require any special accommodation, even at the first interview. For more information about the organisation : https://hinside.hi.org/intranet/jcms/a_16704/fr/accueil   JOB CONTEXT: HI Palestine is currently operating as a stand-alone program under the authority of the Emergency Division, with a dedicated governance framework adapted to the scale and complexity of the crisis. This arrangement, confirmed until the end of 2026, is intended to provide the structural flexibility and operational responsiveness required in the current context, while also anticipating and preparing for a transfer back to Mashreq Programme (regional office). The mission's operational strategy relies on 4 pillars: Health (Rehabilitation and P&O), Armed Violence Reduction, Atlas Logistics, and Inclusive Education. Cross-cutting components include IHA, MHPSS, Protection Mainstreaming, and DGA.   Women, men, girls and boys with disabilities in the West Bank and Gaza Strip have been disproportionately impacted by the recurrent escalations and unprecedented humanitarian crisis. People with disabilities face significant needs and complex barriers to accessing humanitarian services and assistance across sectors of intervention. YOUR MISSION MHPSS is a core component of HI’s intervention in Palestine. MHPSS is systematically integrated into HI’s health activities, including rehabilitation and P&O, as well as into its education interventions. In this context, the MHPSS Specialist plays a key role in ensuring the technical quality, coherence, and coordination of MHPSS activities across the programme.  As activities continue to expand in the WB, the position will also support the harmonization of approaches, tools, and processes between Gaza and the WB, ensuring consistency in programme implementation.  Finally, with the programme expected to transition to the regional office in the coming months, the MHPSS Specialist will contribute to preparing and supporting this transition, ensuring continuity of technical leadership and knowledge transfer. Under the management of the Technical Head of Program (THoP) the MHPSS Specialist in Palestine (based in Amman, Jordan) continues the support and technical leadership for the MHPSS sector. The MHPSS Specialist will ensure continuity and training and technically support MHPSS teams, while ensuring the quality, consistency, and integration of MHPSS across interventions and multidisciplinary health and education programmes. The position will also support the harmonization of approaches between Gaza and the West Bank and contribute to preparing the programme's transition to the regional structure. The MHPSS Specialist will have strong interactions with Internally: Area Manager, Project Managers, Technical officers, Officers, Specialists, MEAL department, Operations Manager, Grants Manager and externally: partners, local authorities, health structures, health NGOs.
