NORCAP works to improve aid to better protect and empower people affected by crisis and climate change. We do this by providing expertise and solutions to humanitarian, development and peacebuilding partners, because we believe working together is the best way to reduce needs, risks and vulnerability over time. We seek and promote more effective ways of working at the global level and in the field. NORCAP’s aim is not only to reduce needs, but also to create choice and opportunity for vulnerable people. NORCAP works with and through our partners to improve aid in two complementary ways:

  • We provide targeted expertise to strengthen our partners’ response.

  • We collaborate with partners to develop solutions to un-met gaps and challenges.

This role supports NORCAP’s commitment to strengthening mental health and safe learning environments in crisis-affected settings through partnership with national education systems.

You will work with the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, supporting an innovative national project to reform psychological services in general secondary education. The project focuses on integrating mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) into schools, building professional capacity, and developing scalable models for nationwide implementation, particularly in the context of the ongoing war and its impact on children, educators, and communities.

The Role

We are seeking a Technical MHPSS Expert to provide scientific, methodological, analytical, and capacity-strengthening support for the implementation of Phases II and III of a national education reform initiative focused on mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS). Working closely with the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and key stakeholders, you will contribute to the development, testing, evaluation, and institutionalisation of an innovative model for psychological services in schools. Success in this role will be measured by the quality of technical guidance provided, strengthened institutional capacity, and the production of practical tools, learning, and recommendations that support long-term system change.

The position is based in Kyiv, Ukraine(non-family duty station) with a contract duration from May 2026 to December 2026, with the possibility of extension until April 2027 subject to funding availability and performance.
