HI recruits 01 MHPSS Technical Officer – Ukraine Chernivtsi

HI is engaged in supporting the Ukrainian population affected by the war: since February 28, two teams left for Ukraine and the neighboring countries to analyze the context, the security, and the needs.
To date, HI continues the implementation of its program in two countries, Ukraine and Moldova, with more than 20 expatriates and more than 50 employees recruited on the spot.
More than any other, HI ensures that humanitarian actions are inclusive, allowing the most vulnerable populations (people with disabilities, elderly, sick, injured) to have access to the help they need. With a focus on physical rehabilitation, psychosocial support, shelter, access to food, water, and sanitation, explosive remnants of war risk education, and advocacy.
We need you to support our teams to answer to this massive emergency response. Your help can make a difference. Join us!

HI has set up a two-country program covering Ukraine and Moldova. Aligning itself with the priorities of the Ukraine Flash Appeal and Regional Refugee Response Plan, HI pillars of interventions are health, protection, armed violence education, Humanitarian-to-humanitarian logistics (Atlas logistique) and Basic needs.

Basic Needs :
To respond to the most acute needs of displaced households hosted by the local population or living in collective centers, HI will ensure they have access to sufficient and appropriate food, hygiene, and non-food items (NFI) items, including tailored items responding to the specific needs of infants, older people, and persons with disabilities. To this extent, HI will tailor its intervention modalities to household needs whilst considering local market capacities in various geographical areas. HI is responding to the Ukraine crisis by embarking on projects aimed at providing MPCA to ensure that internally displaced people (IDPs) and affected communities have access to basic needs such as food, shelter/non-food items, water, sanitation, hygiene and other necessities. Even before the February 2022, evidence showed that conflict-affected people identified cash as a preferred modality of assistance. Since 2015, MPCA has been and continues to address the immediate multiple needs of affected populations in Ukraine, while upholding their dignity and preferences. Cash has been used in Ukraine’s social and protection and safety net programming for many years and HI plans to draw from this experience to establish, adapt and scale up inclusive MPCA that is complementary to Ukraine’s social protection schemes. In this context, HI is looking for a dynamic and motivated Cash & Markets Specialist to provide technical support and to help launch future projects.

Vinnytsia :
The security situation in Vinnytsia is very strong. Markets, and restaurants and cafes are open and life remains normal. From 22:00 to 06:00, there is a strict curfew as in the whole of Ukraine. There have been several ballistic missile attacks in the last two months on rural military and logistics facilities without affecting the city.
Some HI employees in Vinnytsia sleep in the guesthouse and some employees sleep in individual rooms in the hotel. We opened an office a few minutes from the city center. There are several restaurants, bars, and cafes with different styles of high-quality food, as well as a large public park, a large monumental square, and several beautiful pedestrian streets.
