Dear Nepal RPCV's:
Handicap Internationalhas posted this job in country. I am sure there is somepne out there who would be wonderful at this.

Rehabilitation Trainer, Nepal
Nepal has always suffered from a harsh lack of specialised services in physical rehabilitation. It has less than a dozen of centres for the whole country and its 24 millions inhabitants. The current spreading of the armed conflict and subsequent worsening of the situation has dramatically increased the real, direct consequences of this lack for the most vulnerable people with disabilities.

Project Description
The projects aims at providing training and guidance in physical rehabilitation to both the CAHD (Community Approach of Handicap in Development) and Rehabilitation program technical staff in order to facilitate their capacity building. The planned result of this training will be the improvement of the quality of the rehabilitation services provided by the 2 Handicap International programs to victims with physical disabilities in Nepal.

While this first one-year project will focus on the quick and efficient boost of services availability in the short-term, it will also in the same time design and develop a mid- and long-term strategy for general expansion and reinforcement of the physical rehabilitation capacities and services in the country.

Job description

Primary Objective
The post is based in Kathmandu with regular travels on the field. Under the management of the Physiotherapy Coordinator and with the assistance of a project/training assistant (national staff), the Rehabilitation Trainer will be responsible for providing complimentary training in Physical Rehabilitation Therapy and Community Based Rehabilitation for all the program technical staff. He/she will also provide additional training for 60 community development workers trained in general CAHD and working amongst a network of 20 partners in 10 different districts.

Specific Objectives

* With support from the Physiotherapy Coordinator, analyse and provide detailed assessment of training needs and priority areas with the partners, the trainees, the CAHD and the physical rehabilitation program management team.
* Prepare plan of training by providing an adapted training methodology including training courses, practical organisation and coordination of training sessions.
* Provide training and technical guidance of the program technical staff through formal training sessions, technical observations, on the job training, field support and guidance visits.
* Develop internal training capacities and monitor the mid-term training progress of 8 Nepalese rehabilitation workers, returning after one year training in Mobility India (Bangalore), back to their respective organisations.
* Develop internal training capacities of the partners’ master trainers and training officers, Handicap International technical officers and other potential trainers
* Alongside the Physiotherapy Coordinator, provide the project and programme management with support, expertise, assistance and advice on all aspects related to Physio/CBR for effective project implementation, design of strategic orientations and development of future rehabilitation projects.
* Write regular activity reports to the Physiotherapy Coordinator, Respective Program Manager and donor (USAID).

Difficulties involved in the job

* The country is currently engaged in sensitive and unstable phase. The armed conflict between the Monarchy, the Maoist rebels and the political parties can generate increased sources of insecurity. The security rules and guidelines in place must be strictly followed.
* The position will require regular travels to the different project locations and other places in the country, around 50% of working time to be expected travelling on the field.

Applicant profile

* Physiotherapy or Occupational Therapy degree, with at least 5 years of professional experience
* Experience in designing and providing training in rehabilitation
* Proven track record in advanced physio/CBR coordination in development context
* Experience in team management in multidisciplinary and multicultural contexts
* Great capacity of adaptation. Strong communication capacities and confirmed interest for partnership approach.
* Strong capacity to work strategically by objectives and priorities.
* Languages: English mandatory

Length of the mission

This is wonderful project carried on by HI in Nepal. The condition of field of Disability and its Rehabilitation is so poor in the Country. Lots of organisation working on this field and working for disabled are even in large number but unfortunately the key solution for the development of this situation of rehabilitatin field has never been realised by anyone. Everyone says Nepal is a poor country with lower literate population. But dose those population (in health sector)even think about the rehabilitation health in the country ? Its really nice that HI is working in its own pace for the betterment of the disabled people. But do they also realise whether the result of the poject can be sustained or not without the skilled man power of the native place, Nepal? And do they make realise the country that without inclusion of such man power from their own country the project will work only until the project remains there. Unfountunately, if the project has to be stopped then could the country carry on these development aspect of disability founded by HI? So inclusion of the manpower from the native place is important to write the success history of HI Nepal.
Best of Luck For all those dedication From HI to the disability of the world. I do Respect.
