1- TEFL Coordinator
Organization Background
Collateral Repair Project, founded in 2006 to support refugees and impoverished Jordanians in East Amman, runs emergency assistance programs and vibrant community centers in Hashemi Shamali and downtown Amman. The people CRP serves struggle to take care of their basic needs and to rebuild their lives.
CRP’s model focuses on positive growth and change, based on the understanding that refugees in our community must first have their basic needs met in order to heal from trauma and build a better future. Our Emergency Assistance program provides refugee families with basic needs aid, such as food vouchers, medical assistance, and winter needs, and is the first point of contact for most beneficiaries. With these needs addressed, our beneficiaries are more able to participate in our various activities to learn new skills, build community, and heal from trauma. Volunteers from Jordan and abroad run all of the programming at CRP, with many programs led by refugees from CRP’s community. We prioritize hiring staff who are creative problem solvers, hard workers, and actively take initiative to develop our programs and move our work to the forefront of best practice.
There is a need in the Hashemi Shamali and Wast Al Balad neighborhoods of Amman for free, readily available english classes for urban refugees. At present we host approximately 300 students per week in live and online English classes.These classes are designed to assist our beneficiaries in improving their English language skills, as well as provide a safe space for community involvement and participation. The main incentives for participation include improving chances of resettlement, improving employment and higher education opportunities in Amman, and helping to bring stability and a sense of routine to lives that have experienced upheaval.
Position Description
The TEFL Coordinator will oversee English Language classes, as well as an E-learning program, at two centers. S/he will be responsible for the TEFL program oversight and implementation, working closely with the Community Programs Director to ensure that grant deliverables are being met within projected program goals, and that the classes are of a suitable quality. S/he will recruit, onboard, and coordinate both local and foreign volunteers who will teach classes.
CRP’s TEFL Coordinator will take the lead in maintaining and expanding the TEFL Program, so it is crucial for us to fill this role with a charismatic individual with an energetic spirit who has a proven track record in taking initiative in a leadership role, and has a joy for education. The chosen candidate will have knowledge of and interest in the current refugee crisis, and the particular situation of refugees in Jordan, as well as previous experience working with refugee communities.

2- Finance/Operation Manager
Organization Background
Collateral Repair Project, founded in 2006 to support refugees living in Jordan, runs two community centers serving urban refugees and needy Jordanians in the East Amman neighborhoods of Hashemi Shamali & Wast Al-Balad. While urban refugees make up over 80% of the refugee population in Jordan, the majority of international funding has been directed to refugees living in—or in close proximity to—refugee camps. This has begun to change, but refugees living in East Amman have still been among the most neglected in Jordan and CRP serves hundreds of extremely vulnerable families who have received no assistance whatsoever from other organizations. CRP seeks to address these families’ basic needs and provide programming to enable families to rebuild their lives in Jordan.
CRP’s holistic approach focuses on positive growth and change. We first provide families with emergency assistance—mainly food aid—in order to reduce stress due to their inability to meet their basic needs. Once their subsistence needs are met, beneficiaries can begin to rebuild their lives with support from CRP’s range of psychosocial, educational, and community-building programming. CRP’s programs include computer classes, English lessons, trauma-sensitive yoga, a men’s support group, women’s empowerment workshops, children’s activities, and art workshops. Volunteers from Jordan and abroad run all of the programming at CRP, with many programs led by refugees who have participated in CRP’s leadership trainings.
Scope
The Finance/Operation Manager has overall management responsibility for the finance and accounting functions, budgeting, controlling and managing the service team.
Specific Responsibilities
