Addis Ababa

Opportunity Overview The Procurement and Logistics Officer role in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, is a full-time position that keeps an organization's supply chain running. The person in this role manages purchasing, inventory, and delivery of goods and services. This is a hands-on job for someone who can track shipments, negotiate with suppliers, and keep warehouses organized. Addis Ababa sits at roughly 2,355 meters above sea level, making it one of the highest capital cities in the world. The climate stays mild year-round, with average temperatures between 10°C and 25°C. Ethiopia uses the Ethiopian birr as its currency, and the cost of living in Addis Ababa is lower than in most Western cities, though expatriate housing in neighborhoods like Bole and Old Airport can be pricey. The city is the diplomatic hub of Africa, hosting the African Union headquarters and numerous international NGOs, which means English is widely spoken in professional settings. The organization hiring for this role operates in Ethiopia's development and humanitarian sector. Organizations in Addis Ababa typically work across health, agriculture, education, or infrastructure projects, often funded by international donors. A procurement and logistics officer in this context handles everything from office supplies to project equipment, ensuring that field teams get what they need when they need it. This often involves coordinating with customs officials, managing warehouse staff, and maintaining relationships with local and international vendors. This role suits someone with a background in supply chain management, business administration, or a related field. It requires comfort with paperwork, attention to detail, and the ability to work under pressure when shipments are delayed or budgets change. Experience with donor-funded projects, particularly those following USAID, EU, or UN procurement rules, is a significant advantage in this market. Benefits - Competitive salary based on experience and qualifications - Health insurance coverage - Annual leave as per Ethiopian labor law - Opportunities for professional development in procurement and logistics - Potential for career advancement within the organization Eligibility - Bachelor's degree in procurement, logistics, supply chain management, business administration, or a related field - Previous experience in procurement or logistics, preferably with an NGO or international organization - Strong negotiation and communication skills - Proficiency in English; knowledge of Amharic is an advantage - Familiarity with Ethiopian customs and import regulations - Computer literacy, including experience with inventory management software - Valid driver's license may be required depending on the organization's needs Required Documents - Updated CV or resume - Cover letter outlining relevant experience - Copies of academic certificates and transcripts - Professional references or recommendation letters How to Apply 1.

Jobs· Danish Refugee Council (DRC)

Job vacancies at Danish Refugee Council (DRC), Ethiopia

Opportunity Overview The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is accepting applications for its Humanitarian Response Roster, a candidate database for upcoming emergency response positions across Ethiopia. The roster has a rolling deadline of December 31, 2026, meaning DRC reviews applications on an ongoing basis and pulls from this pool when new field positions open. This is the entry point for people who want to be ready when a humanitarian emergency hits and DRC needs to deploy staff quickly. DRC has worked in the Horn of Africa since 1997 and has been operational in Ethiopia since 2009. The organization focuses on refugees, internally displaced people (IDPs), and migrants, providing relief and development services in some of the most challenging environments on the continent. Ethiopia hosts one of the largest refugee populations in Africa, with hundreds of thousands of people displaced by conflict and drought, so the demand for humanitarian staff is constant. Being on the roster means your profile is pre-screened and ready for consideration when a position opens, which can cut weeks off the hiring process during an emergency. The roster is not a single job with one description. It feeds multiple roles, including Support Services Team Leader, Supply Chain Assistant, HR and Admin Assistant, Finance and Admin Assistant, and Base Manager. Each of these positions has its own deadline in July 2026, but the roster itself stays open until the end of the year. If you have experience in logistics, finance, human resources, or field management, and you want to work in humanitarian response, this is a practical way to get your name into DRC's system. Working in Ethiopia means adapting to a country with a low cost of living compared to Western standards, but also with limited infrastructure in many regions. Addis Ababa, the capital, is a bustling city with international organizations everywhere, while field posts can mean living in remote areas with basic amenities. The climate varies from the cool highlands to the hot lowlands, and the work culture in the NGO sector is fast-paced, with long hours during emergencies. International staff typically need a work permit, which DRC sponsors for successful candidates. Benefits - Placement on a pre-screened candidate database that DRC draws from for emergency deployments - Consideration for multiple roles, including team leader, supply chain, HR, finance, and base management positions - Rolling review of applications, so early submission increases your chances of being matched to a role - Opportunity to work with a major international NGO with operations across the Horn of Africa - Potential for field-based assignments with DRC's established presence in Ethiopia since 2009 Eligibility - Open to candidates with experience in humanitarian or development work, particularly in refugee and IDP contexts - Relevant qualifications for the specific role you are applying for, such as logistics, finance, HR, or management - Willingness to deploy to field locations across Ethiopia on short notice - Strong communication skills, with English proficiency typically required - Familiarity with the Horn of Africa region is an advantage - Ability to work under pressure in emergency settings Required Documents - Updated CV or resume detailing your relevant work experience - Cover letter explaining your interest in humanitarian response work - Contact information for professional references, as DRC may request them during the screening process How to Apply 1. Prepare your CV and cover letter, tailoring them to the humanitarian sector and the specific role you are interested in. 2. Submit your application to the DRC Humanitarian Response Roster before the December 31, 2026 deadline. 3. Click the Apply button below to submit your application.

Open roles include two General Practitioners, three Clinical Nurses, three BSc Nurses, a Laboratory Technician, a Laboratory Technologist, two Pharmacists (one diploma-level, one degree-level), two Radiology Technologists, a Receptionist and Cashier, seven Assistant Teachers, and three Subject Teachers. The foundation was established in 2019 by His Excellency Abadulla Gemeda and W/ro Rahel Welde after their fourth daughter, Deborah, was born with Down syndrome in 2008. The family struggled to find comprehensive care and education for disabled children in Ethiopia, where local expertise for treating and caring for children with Down syndrome was rare. That personal experience drove them to create an organization that supports Ethiopian youth with intellectual disabilities through education, health services, and policy advocacy. The foundation operates in Addis Ababa, where it runs a specialized clinic and school designed to fill the gaps the family themselves faced. Working in Addis Ababa means joining a city of roughly five million people sitting at an elevation of about 2,355 meters, which gives it a mild climate year-round with average temperatures around 16 to 20 degrees Celsius. The cost of living is lower than in most Western capitals, though housing in desirable neighborhoods can be pricey relative to local salaries. Health workers and teachers in Ethiopia's NGO sector typically work in a mix of office, clinic, and classroom settings, and the work culture leans formal, with punctuality and professional dress expected. International applicants would need a work permit, which the foundation would typically sponsor for qualified candidates, though the listing does not specify whether it does so. Responsibilities - Provide pediatric care to children and youth with intellectual disabilities, including those with Down syndrome - Conduct developmental assessments and create individualized care plans - Coordinate with teachers and therapists to align medical care with educational goals - Manage chronic conditions common in children with Down syndrome, such as heart defects, thyroid issues, and hearing problems - Train and support parents and caregivers on home care practices - Maintain accurate medical records and participate in health policy advocacy efforts - Work as part of a multidisciplinary team including nurses, laboratory staff, and educators Requirements & Qualifications - Medical degree (MD or equivalent) with specialization in pediatrics for the Pediatrician role - Medical degree (MD or equivalent) for the General Practitioner role - Valid license to practice in Ethiopia, or eligibility to obtain one - Clinical Nurses must hold a diploma or degree in nursing - BSc Nurses must hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing - Laboratory Technician requires a diploma in laboratory science - Laboratory Technologist requires a degree in laboratory science or medical laboratory technology - Pharmacist Level IV requires a diploma in pharmacy - Pharmacist (Degree) requires a Bachelor of Pharmacy - Radiology Technologists require a diploma or degree in radiology technology - Assistant Teachers require a diploma or degree in education, preferably with experience in special education - Subject Teachers require a degree in their teaching subject plus a teaching qualification - Receptionist and Cashier requires strong customer service skills and basic accounting knowledge - Experience working with children with disabilities is an advantage for all clinical and teaching roles - Fluency in Amharic and English is required for most positions Benefits - Competitive salary based on qualifications and experience - Opportunity to work in a purpose-driven organization focused on disability inclusion - Professional development and training in special education and disability care - Supportive, multidisciplinary work environment How to Apply 1.

Each role has its own application deadline, with the Pediatrician closing first on July 5, 2026, the Health Coordinator on July 24, 2026, and the Pharmacist on August 11, 2026.

Its work spans hospital management, primary healthcare, maternal and child health, and training local health workers.

Working in Ethiopia means operating in a country of over 120 million people with a young, rapidly growing population.

The climate varies dramatically by region, from the cool highlands to the hot lowlands. International staff typically need a work permit, which CUAMM assists with as part of the hiring process. The work culture in Ethiopian NGOs is collaborative, with a strong emphasis on capacity building and working alongside local counterparts. These roles are suited to experienced health professionals who can adapt to resource-limited settings. The Pharmacist will manage supply chains and ensure proper medicine use. The Health Coordinator will oversee program implementation and coordinate with local health authorities. The Pediatrician will provide clinical care, often in district hospitals or health centers.

This is a ground-level position focused on protecting staff, facilities, and visitors at an Amref office or project site in Ethiopia. Amref Health Africa began in 1957 as the Flying Doctors of East Africa, a service that used aircraft to bring medical care to remote communities that had no other access to healthcare. Over time, the organization grew far beyond emergency airlifts. Today it trains community health workers, runs large-scale disease prevention programs, and designs health projects in more than 30 African countries. Its work centers on maternal and child health, HIV and TB, malaria, clean water and sanitation, and surgical and clinical outreach. The organization is headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, and maintains offices in Ethiopia, South Africa, South Sudan, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda, Europe, and North America. To date, Amref has trained roughly 500,000 community health workers across the continent. Working as a security guard for Amref in Ethiopia means being part of an organization that operates in both stable and fragile settings. Ethiopia is a large, diverse country with a fast-growing capital, Addis Ababa, where most international NGOs base their country offices. The cost of living in Addis Ababa is moderate compared to many global cities, though it has risen in recent years. The work culture in Ethiopian NGOs tends to be formal and hierarchical, with clear reporting lines and an emphasis on punctuality and proper procedure. Security roles in this context typically involve fixed shifts, uniformed presence at entry points, and close coordination with office management. For a female candidate, this position also reflects a broader push within the sector to increase women's participation in roles traditionally held by men. Responsibilities - Control access to Amref premises, checking identification of all staff, visitors, and vehicles entering and leaving the facility - Conduct regular patrols of the office compound and surrounding areas to identify and report security risks - Monitor CCTV cameras and alarm systems, responding quickly to any alerts or suspicious activity - Maintain a security log book, recording all incidents, visitors, and shift activities in writing - Screen visitors and direct them to the appropriate staff member or department - Enforce office security policies, including bag checks and restricted-area rules, in a professional and courteous manner - Report any security incidents, safety hazards, or equipment malfunctions to the supervisor immediately - Coordinate with local authorities and emergency services when required during incidents or evacuations Requirements & Qualifications - Female applicants only, as stated in the job title - Previous experience in security, guarding, or a related field is preferred - Physical fitness sufficient to stand for long periods and respond to emergencies - Basic literacy and the ability to complete written security reports - Good communication skills, with the ability to interact politely with staff and visitors - Reliability and punctuality, with the ability to work fixed shifts including nights and weekends - Clean disciplinary record and no history of criminal activity - Ethiopian nationality or valid work authorization in Ethiopia Benefits - Employment with a well-established international health organization with operations across Africa - Fixed monthly salary, paid according to Amref's Ethiopia country office pay scale - Standard benefits for NGO staff in Ethiopia, including pension contributions and health coverage - Opportunity to work in a professional environment focused on public health and community development How to Apply 1.

The organization is an international NGO that has been operating for over four decades, working in more than 30 countries across Africa, Asia, and the Pacific.
