About Relief International
Relief International (RI) partners with communities impacted by conflict, climate change, and disaster to save lives, build greater resilience and promote long-term health and wellbeing.
Currently, RI is active in 15 countries around the world, including some of the most fragile: Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Myanmar, occupied Palestinian Territory (oPt), Pakistan, Philippines, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Turkey, and Yemen.
Relief International includes the four corporate members of the RI Alliance: Relief International Inc., Relief International-UK, Relief International-France and Relief International-Europe. Under our alliance agreement, we operate with a single, shared management structure.
Middle East Region
RI operates in seven countries in the Middle East region: Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, occupied Palestinian Territory (oPT), Syria, Turkey, and Yemen, with a focus on the four RI sector pillars: Health, WASH, Education and Economic Opportunity. We employ more than 4,000 staff (direct and indirect) in the Middle East region and implement a range of humanitarian and development programs valued at approximately $70 million USD on an annual basis.
About our Country Program in Jordan
Relief International has been implementing programming in Jordan since 2004 in the wake of the Iraqi refugee crisis and is currently actively engaged in the response to the Syrian refugee crisis in Jordan, including provision of services to both refugees and the host community. Currently, Relief International’s portfolio in Jordan focuses on the education and livelihoods sectors in both the host community and the camps. Relief International values coordination with other agencies and the Government of Jordan and takes leadership roles within the response as relevant. Due to funding challenges, Relief International scaled down in Jordan starting in late 2023 but is now in the process of rebuilding the country program based on new funding commitments.
The role of the Area Officer is to ensure effective implementation of project activities within the targeted governorates, working closely with local authorities, schools, and other key stakeholders. Your role will require knowledge and experience in operational project management, while you continue to develop higher-level expertise and skills. You will build a deep understanding of RI’s processes and the communities we serve, ensuring that program activities are aligned with our mission and delivered efficiently.
Your role will be to ensure the successful implementation of project activities within your assigned governorate. You will oversee day-to-day operations, managing and supporting field teams to deliver on project goals while adhering to RI’s standards and donor regulations
