Місія

CBM is a non-profit international development and humanitarian organisation dedicated to improving the quality of life of persons with disabilities. With over 115 years of experience working alongside people with disabilities globally, CBM strives to remove the barriers that marginalise them in low and middle-income countries of the world. CBM is not an implementing organisation. In line with the localisation approach, it collaborates with local civil society organisations on the ground. Since the onset of the war in Ukraine in February 2022, CBM has been at the forefront of providing inclusive humanitarian assistance to persons with disabilities, war injuries and mobility impairments. Through a combination of strategic partnerships and direct interventions, CBM has been able to deliver essential support to over 98,000 people in need, both within Ukraine and in neighbouring countries. CBM Germany seeks to engage an external HR consultant with a strong legal background for a limited number of working days. The consultant will support the set-up of an appropriate HR system for the Ukraine office, including HR policies, procedures and templates and will provide technical guidance on compliance with national labour legislation and HR administration requirements. The assignment requires a professional with a strong legal background, capable of translating Ukrainian labour law and regulatory requirements into compliant and practical HR policies, tools and procedures within an international NGO context.
