About This Role

World Vision International is strengthening its global Staff Care & Well-being approach to ensure that staff are supported through formal services, 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.

• Strengthen leadership capability around mental well-being
• Reduce stigma related to mental health in the workplace
• Translate global guidance into contextually grounded practice
• Support the development of systems and practices that promote mental well-being across the organization

About You

This is not a clinical or counseling role. You will need 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.
