About Johanniter

Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e.V. is a German Christian non-governmental organization based in Berlin, dedicated to first aid, ambulance services, and social and medical programs.

Johanniter International Assistance (JIA) is the organization's humanitarian action unit, working in emergency response and livelihoods development in various countries.

Mozambique has been part of Johanniter's operations since 2019, with activities in Sofala, Manica, and Cabo Delgado.

JIA's 2027 global strategy focuses on three areas of work: disaster response and preparedness, health, and livelihoods, with climate change and gender equality as cross-cutting themes.

The organization bases its work with local partners on mutual learning, respect, and trust, and prioritizes accountability to communities, inclusion, and the protection of all persons involved in the programs.

What you will do on a daily basis

This position supports the administrative and human resources management of Johanniter's country office in Mozambique, ensuring operations comply with internal organization, donor, and partner standards.

The role also supports Johanniter's partner organizations with the same standards. Specifically, you will:

• Supervise the HR support team and support the recruitment process: publishing notices, screening candidates, organizing interviews, and creating and maintaining the file for each vacancy.
• Prepare the monthly payroll for all national staff and contracted collaborators, and verify attendance sheets, overtime, and cost allocation lists.
• Keep personnel files complete and auditable, with records of leave, absences, benefits, and overtime.
• Support the contracting and renewal of office services (IT, electricity, water) and ensure administrative expenses follow the organization's procurement policies.
• Organize team field trips and internal and external events, including local, regional, and international travel arrangements.
• Manage the registry of ongoing contracts, meeting minutes, and incoming and outgoing correspondence, with numbering and tracking.
• Support JIA registrations with Mozambican public institutions and the visa and notarization process for expatriate staff.
• Ensure timely payment of INSS and IRPS and keep office equipment and facilities up to date.
• Implement the organization's code of conduct and protection policies: in case of an incident or rumor, report immediately through official channels without taking independent action.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for someone with real experience in human resources and administration management, capable of keeping an office running rigorously — payments, personnel files, contracts, travel — and supporting a team working in a humanitarian context.

The profile suits someone who works in a structured manner, meets deadlines, handles personnel data confidentially, and withstands the pace of field operations with changing conditions.

You will work in a multicultural team with national and international staff, and the organization values those who want to learn and grow in the humanitarian sector.

What Johanniter offers

• Competitive remuneration, in line with the organization's internal salary scale and relevant experience — the notice does not publish values.
• 13th-month salary, social security, and insurance package.
• An international organization with a global strategy defined through 2027 and active presence in Mozambique since 2019.
• Work environment described by the organization as welcoming and appreciative of the team.
