Background

ICMC has been active in Indonesia since
1999, and currently works in more than ten of its provinces. Its main focus in Indonesia has
been on psycho-social counseling for people affected by trauma,
counter-trafficking , and reintegration of the victims of social disasters.

Primary
Responsibilities

In partnership with the Indonesian State
Ministry of Women’s Empowerment, the Archdiocesan Human Development Committee
of Kota Kinabalu and Tenaganita, a Malaysian NGO, ICMC is currently
implementing a project funded by the European Community and the Government of
United States of America to combat debt bondage issues and trafficking in
persons between six east Indonesian provinces and the Sabah State of Malaysia.
Some of the major anticipated results of the project are sensitizing officials
on both sides of the border to the rampant trafficking in persons between
Indonesia and Malaysia, strengthening the legal environment, providing greater
protection to survivors of trafficking, the formation of a cross-border
platform to deal with trafficking in persons between the two countries, a
perceptible drop in trafficking in persons between the Indonesian gateway for
migrant workers in East Kalimantan and the official receiving point in Sabah,
and the drafting of a manual describing how to set up a cross-border platform.

The project was launched in December 2007 in Indonesia and in April 2008
in Malaysia.

dedicated team to build relevant capacities in stakeholders from both Indonesia and Malaysia over a relatively short
period of ten months.

on Legal Education for Law Enforcers in Indonesia and Malaysia, Strategic
Planning for Counter-trafficking Action by Local Government, and Trafficking
Awareness for Journalists in Sabah (Malaysia);
3. Developing appropriate capacity building programs
for NGO project partners and ICMC/AHDC/Tenaganit a project staff;
4. Delivering and appropriately evaluating
approximately 60 training workshops;

5. Taking the lead in developing a “How to” program
manual to facilitate future cross-border collaboration; and
6. Developing and delivering other capacity building
programs responding to external requests.

Qualifications

1. University degree; preferably S1 in Social Development or Law major;
2. Relevant managerial experience minimum 3 years;
3. Excellent research/ assessment skills;
4. Excellent skills in designing training modules and delivering training programs to Government officials and NGO staffs;
5. Excellent communication skills;
6. Sensitivity and ability to work collaboratively in a multi-cultural team; and
7. Adaptability and ability to deal with lack of clarity and ambiguity.

The position will call for extensive traveling and will be based in Jakarta / Makassar depending on project need and personal convenience.

This is a senior position within ICMC National staff hierarchy and calls
for relevant professional experience, multi-disciplinary approach and great personal
maturity.

All applications with CV and cover letter
should be typed in English and e-mailed to: ginting@icmc. net.
Deadline: March 2nd, 2009

Please put the job reference on the subject
of the e-mail and details of at least three referees.
