Support Services Coordinator (M/F) - Cambodia

Handicap International is looking for a Support Services Coordinator to join the team in Cambodia.

Since 1982, Handicap International has gradually developed a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program in Cambodia, including activities in the areas of prevention, physical rehabilitation and social economical integration. Today, HI is implementing 4 programs:

• Physical Rehabilitation
• Humanitarian Mine Action
• Road Safety
• Rights and Inclusion

Up to today, there are 2 different representations of HI (around 100 staffs each): HI Belgium and HI Federation. Last year, HIB has decided to join Handicap International Federation. This means that the 2 sections will merge in 2013 to have only 1 representation with 1 office in Phnom Penh coordinating all the programs of HI Federation.

Responsibilities

Integrated within the coordination team, under the hierarchical responsibility of the Country Director, the SSC is in charge of the totality of support services (administration, human resources, finance and logistics) for the effective work of the projects. The SSC position in Cambodia has become an effective coordination position of three departments (Finance, HR, Logistics) which are managed by competent and responsible managers.

The SSC will have to prepare the merging on all administrative, human resources, financial and logistic issues in close collaboration with the Field Merging Steering Committee, the SSC of Handicap International Federation and Head Quarter.

Coordination of staff & services

The service managers are comfortable in their daily tasks but they still need direction and help in the setting up of objectives, priorities and new initiatives. A proper coordination within the services and between services and operations is also necessary.
