Rehabilitation Trainer – Emergency Roster

“Outraged by the injustice experienced by people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, we aspire to a world of solidarity and inclusion, where all differences enrich us and where everyone can live upright.”

Humanity & Inclusion, Handicap International (HI) is an independent and impartial international solidarity organization, which intervenes in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflicts and disasters. Working alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, it acts and speaks out to meet their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.

HI is committed to an employment policy in favour of disabled workers.

JOB CONTEXT:

In order to be able to respond to humanitarian emergencies as quickly as possible, HI is setting up an Emergency Roster system: thanks to several levels of pools (internal and external), this mechanism enables HI to mobilise qualified and rapidly available personnel with the aim of improving its reactivity and its response to emergencies.

This Emergency Roster gives professionals the opportunity to go on short deployments, in support of field teams already engaged or in new areas of intervention.

Whether you are looking for short term missions adapted to your lifestyle, or a new experience that is both human and professional, the Emergency Roster offers everyone flexibility and the opportunity to engage with HI’s humanitarian mandate in an emergency.

Integration into the Emergency Roster involves a classic recruitment process leading to validation. Subsequently, a deployment proposal may be made to you if your profile matches the needs and subject to your availability and/or constraints.
