Introduction Established in 1951, IOM is a Related Organization of the United Nations, and as the leading UN agency in the field of migration, works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners.

Read more about IOM's workplace culture at IOM workplace culture | International Organization for Migration [https://www.iom.int/iom-workplace-culture] Applications are welcome from internal and external candidates. For all IOM vacancies, applications from qualified and eligible first-tier candidates are considered before those of qualified and eligible second-tier candidates in the selection process. For the purpose of this vacancy, internal and internal-equivalent candidates [https://www.iom.int/resources/iom-candidate-tier-systems] are considered as first-tier candidates. Organizational Context and Scope Türkiye hosts a large and diverse population of migrants and refugees who face a range of protection risks, including barriers to accessing services, exposure to exploitation, abuse, trafficking, and gender-based violence (GBV), as well as heightened socio-economic vulnerabilities. These risks may be further exacerbated in emergency contexts, particularly for individuals with specific needs. In response, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) implements humanitarian protection programming through emergency case management (ECM), mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), and protection service delivery through Voluntary Return and Advisory Desks, which serve as accessible entry points for information, counselling, and referrals, including for Syrians under Temporary Protection. Programming includes the identification and referral of individuals at risk, including victims of trafficking and survivors of GBV, and ensures access to appropriate assistance and specialized services through coordinated referral pathways, in line with protection principles. It also includes capacity-building of staff and partners, as well as coordination with relevant stakeholders to strengthen the quality, consistency, and coverage of protection service delivery. Under the overall supervision of the Senior Protection Coordinator and the direct supervision of the National Protection Officer (Humanitarian Protection), and in close coordination with the Head of Sub-Office in Gaziantep, the Senior Project Associate (Humanitarian Protection) will support the operational implementation of Emergency Case Management (ECM) and outreach activities. The incumbent will support the day-to-day implementation of Emergency Case Management (ECM) and outreach activities, including supervision of Project Associates, management of case assignment and follow-up, and coordination of referrals to facilitate timely and quality service delivery in line with IOM protection standards.
