HI is implementing a humanitarian programme in Libya through a team of seven international staff and 63 national staff, with operational bases in Tripoli, Misrata and Benghazi. Key programme activities include:
• Provision of comprehensive rehabilitation services including physical therapy and psychosocial support for internally displaced persons with disabilities and injuries, along with distribution of assistive devices;
• Capacity building, technical support and donations of assistive devices and/or materials and equipment to health partners (hospitals, rehabilitation centres and local NGOs);
• Training on inclusion principles to other humanitarian actors and health workers;
• Support to the Ministry of Health in a long-term capacity building partnership in mental health together with a Tunisian partner.
Since 2014, HI’s Libya programme has been managed remotely from neighboring Tunisia, where all international staff is temporarily based. Prior to the most recent conflict in western Libya that began in April 2019, five international staff were permanently based in Misrata.
HI is planning to implement a phased return of expatriates into the country this year and in order to facilitate this; the post holder will be expected to spend at least 80% of their time in Libya, initially Tripoli and Misrata, along with other international staff. Visits to Benghazi will be expected dependent on the acquisition of the relevant clearances. The remaining time will be spent at the coordination office in Tunis, Tunisia in order to prepare and evaluate the mission of the incumbent. Since April 2019, every international staff is based in Tunis so one of the main role of the security advisor will be conduct in-depth analysis of access route and explore any possible ways to conduct external mission in Libya and, depending on the context evolution, to relocate our staff in either Tripoli, Misrata and/or Benghazi..
The primary objective of the role is to contribute to ensuring the safety and security of HI’s programme staff in Libya at all times and to support the feasibility and achievement of planned activities through ensuring robust risk analysis, security frameworks and tools and protocols are in place and effectively implemented. The secondary key objective is to build capacity in safety and security management across the programme team at all levels.

• Ensure follow-up and analysis of the political, military and security context and trends in Libya;
• Lead on a comprehensive security assessment and formulate recommendations designed to facilitate international staff visits to Libya on a short and long term basis;
• Support the regular analysis and formulisation of risks and threats for the overall programme and the implementation of mitigation measures;
• Lead the review and implementation of adapted security procedures to ensure programme continuity, project monitoring and increased international staff presence;
