Overview

World Vision International is strengthening its global Staff Care & Well-being approach to ensure that staff are supported not only through formal services, but through clear systems, responsible leadership practices, and accessible resources that protect and promote mental well-being at work.

We are seeking a Technical Specialist, Mental Well-being to help embed mental health and psychosocial well-being into organizational systems, policies, and everyday practices across the Partnership. This role focuses on reducing stigma, strengthening leadership capability, and ensuring that mental well-being is treated as a shared organizational responsibility rather than an individual burden.

This is not a clinical or counseling role. It requires systems thinking, relational intelligence, cultural humility, and the ability to translate global guidance into contextually grounded practice. We are particularly interested in candidates currently working in national or regional contexts within humanitarian or international organizations. If you believe that mental well-being belongs at the heart of responsible leadership and sustainable impact, we would welcome your application.

Why this role matters

Mental well-being is foundational to ethical leadership, sustainable performance, and trust. Across diverse and high-pressure contexts, staff face increasing psychosocial strain shaped by workload, organizational change, security concerns, and complex operating environments.
