HR Consultant

Helem is the first LGBTQIA+ rights organization in the Arab world, officially established in Beirut, Lebanon in 2001. Its mission is to lead the struggle for the liberation of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Intersex, Transgendered, Queer (LGBTQIA+), and other people with non-conforming sexualities and/or gender identities in Lebanon and the SWANA region from all sorts of violations of their individual and collective civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights. Our goal is to empower young LGBTQIA+ leaders to advocate for their own liberation. We seek to create initiatives and spaces where our communities can leverage unity through diversity and build power. We protect and support individuals with the resources to resist the harm caused by homophobia and transphobia. We empower our youth through education and community building and mobilize to change the laws, policies, and practices that deny us equality and reduce our quality of life.

The HR Consultant will be responsible for conducting a thorough review of our current HR policies and procedures, including our internal handbook and recruitment processes.

• Reviewing and updating the organization's internal HR handbook.
• Assessing the current HR processes and suggesting improvements.
• Providing recommendations for HR policies that support inclusivity and diversity within the organization.
• Collaborating with the management team to implement recommended changes.
• Ensuring that all HR practices are in compliance with local labor laws and best practices for LGBTQIA+ organizations.
