JOB CONTEXT:
Since February 2022 HI has re-opened a Country Programme in Ukraine to respond to the humanitarian needs triggered by the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation. In 2024, HI pillars of interventions are:
- Health: HI aims to improve access to quality physical rehabilitation and mental health and psychosocial support services (MHPSS) for conflict-affected vulnerable population.
- Protection: Given the scale of humanitarian and protection needs, HI intervenes at various levels to ensure that vulnerable conflict-affected populations have access to multi-sectoral services tailored to their needs. In addition, HI aims to foster a disability-inclusive humanitarian response.
- Armed Violence Reduction: Ongoing attacks dangerously exacerbated Explosive Ordnance (EO) contamination in Ukraine. In light of this, HI is conducting a multi-pronged approach to EO Risk Education and Conflict Preparedness and Protection (CPP), adaptable to the evolution of the conflict and is looking at extending the AVR scope with NTS (Non-Technical Survey) activities (subject to accreditation approval) and Victim Assistance.
- Basic needs: to respond to the most acute needs for displaced households hosted by the local population or living in collective settings, HI is providing cash-based transfers, including MPCA (Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance) and a disability top-up.
- Humanitarian-to-humanitarian logistics (Atlas Logistique): To facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance as close as possible to the most affected populations, HI proposes mutualized storage and transportation services to other humanitarian actors – with a specific focus on “last-mile transportation”.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POSITION:
The security situation in Ukraine remains relatively stable, although there are frequent days and nights of air alerts. However, markets, restaurants and cafes are open, and life continues as normal. There is a strict curfew, the hours depend on the region. During the winter, most attacks target energy structures, mainly power grids and power plants, resulting in sporadic disruptions of electricity, water, heating and communications.
HI has 3 hubs, one in the East (based in Dnipro with a sub base in Poltava), one in the North-East (based in Kharkiv), one in the South East (based in Mikolaiv) and the coordination is in Kyiv. HI staff is accommodated in guesthouses or in hotel (during business trips), usually near HI offices, restaurants, cafes, shopping centers within walking distance and near a shelter (the shelter is either in the building or easy to reach).
