La mission

As part of its efforts to strengthen its operations, SI has set up a flying support team (OSS Operations Support Staff). OSS team members are called upon to be deployed on assignments lasting from 2 weeks to 3 months to SI country offices, according to the following priorities:

· Filling strategic gaps and providing technical support to existing country offices (1 to 3 months)

· Support assessments and the opening of new operations (base and programs) in existing country offices (2 weeks to 1.5 months)

· Assessments and opening of new country offices (2 weeks to 1.5 months)

As delegates of headquarters, OSS team members represent headquarters during their deployments and are key players in carrying out the mandate and SI procedures in their assigned missions.

OSS members respond to country offices support needs through SI geographical Desks. The deployment of the DCDP OSS goes under the hierarchical supervision of the Program Expertise and Quality Division. When deployed, he/she works under the responsibility of the Country Director or corresponding Regional Director

· Permanent expatriate contract

· Salary calculated based on the expatriate salary scale (gross salary starting at €2,600/month)

· Per diem and accommodation covered during deployments

· One day off for each weekend spent in the field - 25 days of paid vacation. No RTT (reduced working time)

· Health/life insurance and repatriation (100% covered)

· Free choice of location (France or abroad) outside of deployment periods

Preferred experience

OSS members respond to mission support needs via SI's four geographical desks. Their deployment is supervised by the Director of Operations. When deployed, they work 100% of their working time under the responsibility of the Country Director and the desk concerned. The OSS team's WASH Coordinator can be deployed on any mission where a position related to Water, Hygiene and Sanitation represents a major strategic interest.By nature, the WASH is deployed primarily to fill gaps in WASH coordinators, but may also be called upon to respond to emergencies, launch projects, replace a WASH Programme Manager whose programme is in a critical situation, strengthen the skills of WASH teams on a mission, or support key positioning issues related to WASH. In general, the Flying WASH Coordinator, as the technical advisor on the mission, contributes to the development of Solidarités International's strategy by proposing a sectoral strategy. In particular, they guarantee the quality and relevance of the technical approaches proposed and ensure that WASH activities are in line with the association's overall objectives and the needs of the populations. They coordinate the project cycle and, more specifically, the operational monitoring of WASH programmes
