Careers

RefugePoint recognizes the importance of and is deeply committed to creating space for and elevating refugee voices and leadership within the organization and the broader humanitarian community.  RefugePoint partners with refugees to achieve their aims and is committed to ensuring that refugees are an integral part of our program design, implementation, and monitoring, as well as our overall agency governance.

Recognizing that racism, colonialism, and global white supremacy have caused many of the inequities driving the world’s refugee situations, RefugePoint aims to strengthen the pursuit of our vision, mission, and values by integrating anti-racist and anti-colonial principles in all that we do.  This includes our internal policies and systems as well as our programs and our choice of partnerships, to ensure we are building a community of stakeholders who embrace these same values.

Recognizing that refugees with extreme vulnerabilities are often particularly disadvantaged in their access to resources, RefugePoint aims to strengthen equity in the humanitarian sector through our work delivering services, sharing resources, capacity, and learning, and influencing policies and systems. We believe that those caught in systems that disadvantage them deserve equal access to services and solutions.

Recognizing that mental health is an integral part of refugee response programming, RefugePoint strives to integrate a trauma-informed approach into our programs and offer mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services to clients and staff. Our front-line staff are trained on psychological first aid and trauma-informed communication, better equipping them to avoid re-traumatizing clients, provide support to clients in emotional distress, and meet their own self-care needs.

Recognizing that knowledge is personal, context-driven and evolving, RefugePoint uses an evidence-informed approach that integrates expertise from both staff and clients alongside evidence from research, reporting, monitoring and evaluation, and other sources. We aim to capitalize on that evidence and knowledge through routine and rigorous review of programs, policies, and systems to ensure continuous adaptation and improvement.

Recognizing that the urgency and magnitude of humanitarian need requires shared responsibility and collective action among many stakeholders, RefugePoint is committed to taking a collaborative approach in our work. We seek opportunities to share mutual learning and strengthen the capacity of local and global partners, to find solidarities with displaced and host communities, and to accelerate impact through engaging in, building and leading networks and consortia.
