Norwegian Refugee Council Jobs at Kibondo
Employer Name: Norwegian Refugee Council
Description
The
Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is a non-governmental, humanitarian
organization with 60 years of experience in helping to create a safer
and more dignified life for refugees and internally displaced people.
NRC advocates for the rights of displaced populations and offers
assistance within the shelter, emergency food security, and water,
sanitation and hygiene sectors.
The Norwegian Refugee Council has approximately 5000 committed and
competent employees involved in projects across four continents. In
addition, NRC runs one of the world’s largest standby rosters, NORCAP,
with 650 professionals, ready to be deployed on 72 hours’ notice when a
crisis occurs.
In mid-April 2016, NRC conducted a pre-assessment mission in the refugee camps in north western Tanzania and the assessment revealed that the humanitarian situation for the refugees requires urgent intervention and NRC therefore decided to establish an operational office in Kibondo town, to respond in Mtendeli and/or Nduta refugee camps. The initial interventions will focus in three sectors; shelter, WASH and education (initially construction of permanent classrooms).
NRC is therefore seeking a French speaking Education Officer for the NRC Office in Kibondo, Tanzania. The Education Officer reports to the Education Programme Development Manager.
To apply for this position please go to NRC website at www.nrc.no and follow the “VACANCIES” link.
Email and paper applications will not be considered.
