Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced Arabic-speaking security professional to support the translation, adaptation, and contextualisation of our online NGO Security Management Course for Arabic-speaking humanitarian audiences over the duration of three months (July 26 to September 26).
The Arabic Language Specialist – NGO Security Training supports INSO’s Global Training Team (GTT) in overseeing the translation and contextualising INSO NGO Security Management online course for Arabic-speaking humanitarian audiences.
The role involves ensuring that course materials are operationally accurate, contextually relevant, and culturally adapted for Arabic-speaking environments. The position is part of the Global Training Team and works closely with the Digital Learning Manager to adapt learning content, review materials, and contribute to the quality and coherence of the course package.
Critically, this role goes beyond linguistic translation. It requires the postholder to bring deep, practical knowledge of NGO security and safety management to bear on the content itself. INSO’s NGO Security Management course addresses complex operational topics – including humanitarian dilemmas, security risk management, access negotiation, duty of care, incident management, and field-level safety protocols – that require expert judgement to adapt accurately for Arabic-speaking humanitarian contexts. The postholder must be able to identify where course content does not reflect the realities faced by aid workers operating across the Middle East and North Africa, propose substantive adaptations, and ensure the final course is not only linguistically accurate but operationally credible and relevant for practitioners working in these environments.
This is a short-term assignment of three months. The selected candidate must be able to step into the role immediately and deliver high-quality outputs within a limited timeframe, with minimal onboarding. The role demands a high degree of professional autonomy, sector credibility, and the ability to make sound, context-sensitive judgements from day one.
The Arabic Language Specialist – NGO Security Training will work daily at INSO’s headquarters in The Hague.
