Programmes Manager

Ajyal Foundation is seeking to hire a professional with experience/knowledge in mental health and/or education to oversee the development, management, implementation and evaluation of Ajyal’s programs and projects in Gaza and across Palestine. During the war on Gaza, Ajyal has supported tens of thousands of children through psychosocial activities and emergency intervention supporting the welfare of displaced children, including the provision of food, clothing and urgent essentials.

You will be working in a fast-paced environment as part of a small, tight-knit team that’s working to develop and deliver immediate emergency support interventions, and short and long term projects in close cooperation with Foundation’s team and leadership and with our partner organisations to support the education and mental welfare of displaced children, primarily in Gaza and other parts of Palestine, and other refugee communities.

They will work closely with the Senior Management, Projects Team, and the Research and Training Programme to ensure projects achieve Ajyal’s strategic priorities and objectives and offer unique response to address needs and gaps in support services for beneficiary communities.

You will bring your experience in all elements of management, strategic thinking and planning, project development and implementation, evaluation, learning and reporting. You will play a key role in ensuring Foundation’s projects and interventions address the needs of our beneficiaries, align with Foundation’s values and policies, adhere to regulations and reflect best practice in these sectors. This position requires strong leadership, excellent project management skills, and the ability to work collaboratively across teams and with external partners.
