Since its creation in 1982, HI has run development programmes in more than 60 countries and responded to numerous emergencies. Today, we have a budget of approximately 255 million euros, with 4794 employees worldwide.

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.

The position is based in Amman. Depending on the context and the access, travels in the Jerusalem, West Bank and Gaza might occur.

  • Jerusalem: In normal times, the security is relatively stable most of the year, with some days of mass demonstrations and isolated acts of violence, in particular during key religious holidays and anniversaries of important historical events. There are several opportunities for social and cultural life. In the current crisis, there is a heightened risk of violence and an increasing number of Israeli checkpoints. Movements are partially restricted, with some opportunities for social life and physical exercise.
  • West Bank: the security is relatively stable in Ramallah and Bethlehem, but overall unstable in Hebron and the Northern West Bank, with regular episodes of Israeli armed incursions, settler violence, and Palestinian attacks. In the current crisis, the number of incursions and violent incidents has increased considerably and most towns and villages are isolated from each other due to the closure of all Israeli checkpoints for Palestinians.
  • Gaza Strip: The entire Gaza Strip is exposed to numerous security risks. The population is constantly on the move in response to evacuation orders. The presence of expatriates is managed through a rotation system and criteria that are revised according to the evolving context.
