Oxfam is a global movement of people working together to end the injustice of poverty.

 

Do you have at least 5-7 years of involvement in protection programming and/or in providing technical advice to protection programmes.?

 

Do you have demonstrated experience in collective protection advocacy, policy dialogue, or influencing based on field evidence?

 

Do you have solid understanding of protection risks and responses in complex and protracted crisis contexts, particularly Lebanon or similar settings?

 

If the answer is yes, then we would like to hear from you.

 

The Role:

 

The Sectorial Protection Advisor serves as Oxfam’s appointed National NGO Co-Coordinator for the Protection Sector in Lebanon, providing strategic, facilitative, and technical leadership to strengthen national and sub-national protection coordination. Acting on behalf of the Protection Sector as a whole, the role supports inclusive, results-oriented, and localized coordination that enhances the quality, coherence, accountability, and sustainability of protection responses.

 

What we are looking for:

 

The role plays a key part in advancing collective protection advocacy, ensuring that evidence, trends, and priorities emerging from Protection Sector coordination and field-level engagement inform coherent, principled, and survivor-centered advocacy at national and Inter-agency levels. In doing so, the Sectorial Protection Advisor supports the development of joint advocacy positions, contributes to protection-related policy dialogue, and facilitates coordinated engagement with decision-makers, while safeguarding the neutrality and representative mandate of the Protection Sector. While maintaining accountability to the Protection Sector, the role enables Oxfam to nourish its technical expertise, partnership approaches, and commitment to localization, gender justice, safe programming, and evidence-based advocacy, strengthening both sector-wide protection outcomes and Oxfam’s institutional leadership in protection and humanitarian coordination in Lebanon. It is also expected to inform field level engagement as well as any programmatic level adaptations, in collaboration with Oxfam’s protection advisor.

 

We offer:

 

We offer a competitive salary and a range of additional benefits to staff including flexible working options, generous pension scheme, annual leave, additional leave allowances, company sick pay, life assurance and a range of other benefits. 

 

From the day you join Oxfam we invite you to stretch and learn in your role. Our wide range of Learning & Development opportunities includes in-house courses, e-learning modules, on-the job learning opportunities, coaching and mentoring, and much more.
