Job Overview

The WGSS Facilitation and Administrative Specialist plays a critical role in the effective delivery of inclusive, survivor-centered services through Women and Girls’ Safe Spaces (WGSS). WGSS are central to WPE programming and serve as safe, accessible, and women-led environments where participants can access psychosocial support, build solidarity networks, engage in leadership activities, and receive life-saving information.
This position combines the facilitation of structured psychosocial support (PSS) and GBV prevention activities, implementation of standardized IRC curricula (e.g., Girl Shine, Women Rise), administrative and logistical coordination, community engagement, and support to outreach initiatives. The Specialist ensures that all WGSS interventions align with humanitarian principles, are responsive to the needs of women and girls, and contribute to their protection, recovery, and empowerment.

Education:
  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in social work, psychology, education, sociology, gender studies, or another related humanitarian or social science field.

Experience:
  • Minimum of 2 years’ experience implementing protection programming, particularly with women and girls or survivors of GBV.
  • Demonstrated experience facilitating group-based sessions (e.g., PSS, GBV prevention, life skills).
  • Prior experience working with national NGOs and/or community-based groups preferred.
  • Familiarity with IRC WPE/WGSS standards and GBV guiding principles is highly desirable.
  • Prior participation in professional training on PSS facilitation, PFA, GBV prevention, or community protection is strongly preferred.

Skills and Competencies:
  • Strong facilitation, interpersonal, and communication skills.
  • Ability to work with people from diverse backgrounds with empathy, dignity, and non-judgment.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, and digital tools for humanitarian programming; familiarity with KoBo Toolbox or Comm Care is an asset.
  • Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and accountability in documentation and coordination.
  • Fluency in Ukrainian is required; English language skills are preferred.
