Job purpose:

J/P Haitian Relief Organization (J/P HRO) is dedicated to saving lives and building sustainable programs with the Haitian people quickly and effectively. Following the tragic earthquake of 2010, J/P HRO began working immediately to make a meaningful and lasting impact in Haiti. The goal of J/P HRO is to support residents in the marginalized, high-density Port-au-Prince neighborhood of Delmas 32 and surrounding areas affected by the earthquake transition to resilient, sustainable and prosperous communities.
J/P HRO has implemented its mission through four integrated programs: Medical, Camp & Relocations Management, Engineering & Construction, and Community Development. The Organization works with the support of and in collaboration with local and national government leaders, community based organizations, other international NGOs, UN agencies, donors and—most importantly—the community members themselves.
Within the Camp and Relocations Program, the Returns and Relocations Management Consultant, in collaboration with the Camps and Relocations interim management team, will be responsible for overseeing the relocation and closure of targeted internally displaced persons (IDP) camps created after the 2010 earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince. S/he is responsible for overseeing the Relocations team’s standardized relocations process, which follows the Haitian government’s 16/6 methodology. S/he will work closely with the Protections team to address the needs of the most vulnerable families, as well as plan for camp closure, camp decommissioning and rehabilitation activities, engaging relevant partners.
