Introduction

Anti-Racism Movement (ARM) is a local NGO established in 2011 by a group of local activists who work together with migrant workers to secure social, economic, and gender justice for all migrant workers and racialized groups in Lebanon. We work for a just society where all migrants enjoy decent living and working conditions.

 

Purpose and Scope of Work: 

One of ARM’s core objectives is the maintenance of a healthy, well-functioning, and sustainable organization. In the operational context of ARM, staff members are faced with emotionally demanding situations, which makes the provision of access to quality staff care support essential. In view of these objectives and needs, ARM is seeking the services of a counselor for a twelve-month renewable contract, including a three-month probation period, to support staff and work towards enhancing general well-being within the organization.

 

Responsibilities:

  • Scheduling and providing individual counseling sessions to staff to deal with work-related stressors and chronic stress. A counseling approach that can, if needed, also delve deeper into personal issues related to interpersonal relationships, self-awareness, identifying one's own vulnerabilities and strengths, coping, emotional regulation, conflict resolution, ways to strengthen social support networks and resources, and also existential questions around meaning and purpose.
  • Group counseling sessions on work-related challenges, communication problems, and conflict resolution while simultaneously fostering group dynamics that facilitate a space for reflection and peer support.
  • Training workshops on resilience-promoting behaviors, mental health awareness, mental health resources, cross-cultural conflict resolution, emotional support skills, and other subjects depending on need.
  • Any other suitable activity agreed upon between ARM and the counselor that falls within the scope of this consultancy.

The above is to be implemented either online or in person, depending on preference and availability. The schedule is flexible based on counselor availability.

 

ARM commits to:

  • Providing the necessary context, information, and resources during the Consultancy.
  • Leading all admin, logistics, and tasks required to ensure a smooth implementation of agreed contracted activities.
