Relief International (RI) is an international non-governmental organization US and UK based, working in the humanitarian field since 2004 in Sudan, providing emergency relief and early recovery activities to internally displaced persons (IDP) and rural communities, focusing in lifesaving health and nutrition services. RI is looking for qualified candidates to fill the vacancies mentioned herewith
Background: ABOUT RELIEF INTERNATIONAL: WHO WE ARE
Relief International specializes in relief and development programs that benefit people in acute distress. A registered non-profit in the US, UK, France and Belgium, our work targets those fragile countries or communities that suffer from recurrent man-made or natural crises that impede human development. The people we serve live in seventeen countries across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia where the debilitating effects of political instability, forced displacement, and natural disasters are pervasive. Often, RI is the only organization providing healthcare, education, logistics, energy, capacity building, economic development, sanitation, and many other forms of assistance to these highly vulnerable communities.
RI’s Head Office: Our head office is referred to as a Global Support Office (GSO) and comprises a team which operates out of five office locations: Los Angeles, Washington D.C, London, France and Belgium. This geographical mix fosters collaboration and maximizes the resources we are able to deploy for the delivery of services in the countries where we operate.
RI in Sudan Since 2004, RI has been working with vulnerable communities across Darfur to deliver healthcare, secure access to clean water and food, improve basic hygiene practices, and create employment opportunities. Our teams provide primary healthcare, vaccinations, family planning, and care for expectant and new mothers at 47 locations. We also build local capacity by training national health service providers and conducting community-wide campaigns on disease prevention and healthy practices All programming is designed with the aim of building long-term local capacity to ensure services and care continue beyond the lifetime of the project - please visit our website for more information.

Duties and responsibilities: STAFF CARE IN RELIEF INTERNATIONAL
Following an assessment of RI practice in 2018, a Staff Care Policy was launched in 2019 and a global Staff Care team was formed. This team was charged with: developing and implementing a 2-year Staff Care Plan to deliver on the commitments set out in the Policy; and delivering foundational Stress Management/Self Care workshops to staff across all our programming countries. The main gap in our current Staff Care approach is that, while GSO staff and international staff can access psychological support services via an external EAP (Employee Assistance Program) no such resource is available to local national staff. We need to address this, since one of the commitments in the Staff Care Policy is to provide staff in all of our programming countries with access to professional psychosocial support and counselling when needed.
SCOPE OF WORK FOR POTENTIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS: For the reasons set out above, RI is now seeking to engage professional providers of psychosocial support services with whom we can establish a formal and long-term relationship. Our aim is to strengthen organizational and individual resilience and to better support our staff who work in challenging roles and often in fragile settings. We wish to establish relationships with providers who are based in Sudan RI operation Areas. Please note, therefore all services will need to be provided remotely and or live in the different locations where RI operates. The services we wish to commission would consist of:
