Reporting to: Director of Programmes, West Bank
Responsible for: Supporting MAP’s projects in Palestine
Location: Ramallah, West Bank.

Duration and Hours:One year, full time
MAP is a UK-based charity which works for the health and dignity of Palestinians living under occupation and as refugees. Established 30 years ago, MAP works with local partners to provide health care to Palestinians worst affected by conflict, occupation and displacement. With offices in London, Beirut, Gaza City and Ramallah, MAP responds rapidly in times of crises, and works directly with communities on longer term health development.

We are looking for a bright and enthusiastic intern to join our small West Bank team from October 2014. You will live and work in Ramallah and be responsible for supporting the office and the MAP team on programme, logistic and administrative activities. The role will provide varied experience including exposure to MAP’s emergency and health development projects with local partners. It will involve writing proposals and reports, support for programme managers, liaison with other agencies and arranging and supporting visits, permits and visa applications. The post will also provide exposure to the wider working and coordination mechanisms of the UN and international NGOs working in the context of an on-going conflict and prolonged occupation.

The position may be of particular interest to recent Masters graduates in humanitarian, international development or Middle Eastern studies, or prospective students, or those wishing to pursue further studies who require appropriate field experience to complement their studies.

You must be resilient and resourceful, comfortable with the idea of living in a conflict zone. You will have good first degree and preferably a higher degree in development studies or equivalent. You will be a good drafter and team worker. Knowledge of the region and of Arabic is an advantage. MAP will pay a stipend, sufficient to cover rent and living expenses
