Who we are

Oxfam GB has been assisting the population of Somalia since the 1960s with interventions focusing mainly on livelihood and public health sectors, including water and sanitation interventions.

Since July 2011, we scaled up our activities with our programme operations increasing by 71% due to the drought response.

The post holder will oversee staff welfare management and advise the management on staff health and safety issues. 

He/she will also maintain the programme’s payroll and support in staff reward management processes.

Responsibility will also involve advising management in the field on HR systems and travel to provide technical support to partners and Oxfam office in Somaliland.
