Human Resources Development Manager

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) / أطباء بلا حدود is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organization that delivers emergency aid to people in 70 countries who are affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural disasters and exclusion from healthcare. MSF offers assistance to people based on need, irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation and our actions are guided by medical ethics and the principles of neutrality and impartiality. We offer basic healthcare, perform surgery, fight epidemics, rehabilitate and run hospitals and clinics, carry out vaccination campaigns, operate nutrition centres, and provide mental healthcare. Our activities include the treatment of injuries and disease, maternal care and the provision of humanitarian aid. Where necessary, we set up sanitation systems, supply safe drinking water, and distribute relief to assist survival. Working overseas with (MSF) means that you will go to work in projects in any of the countries where MSF works. Each project you go to will require a certain period of commitment (6 to 12 months). It also means that you will need the flexibility to adjust to unfamiliar food, living quarters, pace of life, and languages. Projects may be located in the most remote places in the world, often in harsh environments with limited resources and amenities. Regardless of where you go, it might be a very different lifestyle. Working in an unfamiliar culture inevitably involves challenges in communication and perceptions. Being aware that people may not act or think like you, accepting this, and being able to adapt your own behaviours if required, is of utmost importance when working in the field. A special camaraderie emerges amongst members of a project team who come from different countries, backgrounds and experience. This creates a shared sense of purpose, sparking ingenuity and resourcefulness in getting things done, and a lot of spontaneous fun.    Main purpose: Responsible for the development and implementation of an HR Development strategy, including its supporting processes and tools, which improves the autonomy, performance and development of staff, thereby contributing to the quality of operations.   Requirements: Develop/refine and implement the HR Development Strategy, activity-plan, policies and tools, based on the mission-specific needs and priorities Develop/adapt the existing policies and tools related to the phases of the Employee Development Cycle (Recruitment, Induction, Performance, Feedback, Learning & Mobility) to the mission specific needs, ensuring the quality of these processes and ensuring a link between them   Empower managers to implement these policies and tools in an equitable, fair, transparent and efficient manner throughout the mission Implement a learning path for national staff in Supervisor positions, in order to strengthen their supervi­sory competencies Empower managers in their role and responsibilities related to HR Development processes (tools, processes, best practices) and provide punc­tual advice when needed Support the identification of critical positions, and the development- and implementation of a succession plan.
