Senior Project Assistant Migration & Health

IOM works in three broad areas: Operations and emergencies, Migration management and International Cooperation and Partnerships. Under the migration management IOM works with government and partners to develop policies and strategies that promote mainstreaming of migration in different sectors such as the Health under the Migration and Health Division (MHD).

The MHD delivers and promotes comprehensive, preventive, and curative health programmes which are beneficial, accessible, and equitable for migrants and mobile populations. IOM’s MHD, in close collaboration with partners, contributes towards the physical, mental, and social well-being of migrants, enabling them and host communities to achieve social and economic development.

One such migration and health project is the SRHR - HIV Knows No Borders Project (KNB Project) implemented in six countries in the Southern Africa region (Kingdom of Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa and Zambia). In South Africa the KNB project is implemented in Nkomazi, Mpumalanga and the prospects of expanding to Musina, Limpopo Province. The project is implemented by a consortium of IOM (as the lead agency) and Save the Children International; in South Africa is implemented in partnership with Save the Children South Africa (SCSA).

Under the overall supervision of the Chief of Mission (CoM) in IOM South Africa and direct supervision of the National Migration and Health Project Officer; and, in collaboration with relevant units at the IOM South Africa Country office, IOM seeks to hire a Senior Project Assistant who will be based in Pretoria.
