As a result of the
significant influx of Syrian refugees and the increased demand on the already
over-extended social services system, the livelihoods and access to quality
public services in the host communities have been significantly affected. The
impact on the social services is particularly acute among the most vulnerable
segments of the Jordanian population, an important portion of which reside in
the governorates that host the highest numbers of Syrian refugees. Overcrowded
health centres and schools, overstretched water, sanitation, and municipal
services, as well as pressures on the environment, labour, and housing markets
have left Jordanians feeling increasingly disenfranchised and neglected.
Given the multitude of
pressures on the Jordanian healthcare system, there is an ongoing need to
further strengthen the MoH through support for consumables, equipment,
infrastructure, and human resources, and to promote resilience within the
national health system. These measures are required to cope with intensified
demand for health services from refugees and the changing population
demographics.
The incumbent is
responsible to abide by security policies, administrative instructions, plans
and procedures of the UN Security Management System and that of UNOPS.

diverse workforce.
