JOB DETAILS:

Family Circle Love Lab Organization (FCLLO) is a respected local NGO with a powerful mission: to prevent and respond to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) using community-rooted, trauma-informed mental health and psychosocial support approaches. For nearly a decade, FCLLO has worked tirelessly to transform pain into purpose and trauma into healing.

As we scale up our impact through our VUGA UKIRE – Trauma Healing and Resilience Hub, we are looking for a strong, committed, and visionary Mental Health Professional to serve as Project Officer—someone ready to lead with heart, grow with purpose, and stand with survivors.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design and implementation of psychosocial support activities for survivors of SGBV.
• Provide trauma-informed counseling, mental health assessments, and referral services.
• Train and supervise community-based facilitators and peer supporters.
• Monitor and evaluate the quality and impact of mental health interventions.
• Collaborate with stakeholders including local leaders, healthcare providers, and partner organizations to ensure holistic survivor support.
• Contribute to developing strategies to strengthen FCLLO’s mental health programming and scale up the VUGA UKIRE Hub model.
• Actively network, build partnerships, and support resource mobilization efforts to ensure sustainability and growth of mental health and psychosocial programs.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Clinical Psychology, Counselling, Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing, Social Work, or a related field.
• At least 3 years of experience providing mental health or psychosocial support, preferably in the context of SGBV or trauma recovery.
• Demonstrated knowledge of trauma-informed care and community mental health principles.
• Strong project management, advocacy, and communication skills.
• Experience in partner engagement, fundraising, or proposal writing is a strong asset.
• High emotional intelligence, integrity, resilience, and a genuine passion for healing work.
• Fluency in Kinyarwanda is required; working knowledge of English or French is an asset.

We Offer

• A chance to lead transformative healing work in one of Rwanda’s most impactful grassroots organizations.
• A supportive and mission-driven team environment.
• Opportunities for professional growth and innovation.
• Competitive local remuneration.
