Technical Specialist, Well-being Capacity NGO Job World Vision

NGO Jobs, World Vision Jobs.

We are seeking a Technical Specialist, Well-being Capacity to strengthen the ability of national and regional teams to design, adapt, and sustain their own staff care and well-being initiatives in alignment with our global Staff Care & Well-being Strategy and Theory of Change.

This role focuses on building practical capability across the Partnership through co-created learning, contextualized tools, peer exchange, and leadership engagement. The position works closely with regional and national colleagues to ensure that well-being approaches are usable, culturally grounded, and embedded into everyday organizational practice.

This is not solely a technical or programmatic role. It requires relational intelligence, cultural humility, and the ability to translate strategy into practice alongside colleagues working in complex and high-pressure environments.

We are particularly interested in candidates currently working in national or regional contexts within humanitarian or international organizations.

Why this role matters

World Vision is strengthening how we care for our people through a more intentional, learning-driven, and systems-based approach to staff care and well-being.

Sustainable well-being is built locally, relationally, and over time. This role exists to strengthen the ability of national and regional teams to design, adapt, and lead their own well-being initiatives in ways that are meaningful within their contexts and aligned with our global Staff Care and Well-being Strategy and Theory of Change.

If you have ever sat in a national or regional office thinking, “This framework makes sense, but it needs to feel usable here,” this role may be for you.\
