The Regional Co-ordinator will coordinate IHRB’s Middle East research and outreach support across five Gulf States (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and UAE). The work will include working closely with researchers and consultants both within the Gulf and globally, and contributing to the strategic direction of IHRB’s overall work in the region. It will include liaising with business, civil society, governments, UN agencies, academic institutions and migrant worker organisations, with the purpose of progressing policy and practice to improve the rights and working/living conditions of migrant workers in the Gulf, as well as the economic well-being of families in countries of origin. This post requires substantial knowledge of the region and the issues, a high degree of diplomacy and political awareness for what is sensitive work. The Regional Co-ordinator will work from their home base and will report to IHRB’s Head of Labour Rights (based in the UK). Communication will mostly be via Zoom or e-mail, and if the candidate is UK based, will also involve regular meetings with other IHRB staff in Central London (COVID-19 restrictions permitting). The Regional Co-ordinator must ensure they have a suitable place of work to include a good internet connection. Visits to Gulf States will become a regular requirement (e.g. once a quarter) when the COVID-19 restrictions allow.
