Human Resource Consultant

Background & current challenges

UNOY Peacebuilders is a youth-led organisation, legally registered as a foundation in
the Netherlands. UNOY has become the largest youth-led global peacebuilding network
bringing together over 120 youth led member organisations in over 70 countries.
UNOY’s 3 action areas are capacity development, advocacy and networking.
UNOY’s mission is to build a world free from all forms of violence.
A world
where young people have the power to transform conflict;
where youth participation is real and meaningful for all;
where young people actively partner for peace without fear or threat.
The International Secretariat is based in the Hague and is composed of 9 staff members
(11 in a year’s time) and 6 interns who lead/coordinate most of the network’s joint
activities. For the last 6 years, UNOY has been undergoing a decentralisation process
and
currently has six regional coordinators across the world (working as volunteers on a part time basis) who provide a
bridge between the International Secretariat and UNOY’s
membership.
UNOY was founded in 1989 but for most of its existence relied on volunteers, even at
the International Secretariat in The Hague. Over the last ten years, UNOY staff has
increased substantially.
As a youth-led organisation, UNOY has a high turnover in its team. Any unplanned
turnover or absence can have a significant impact on work and on members of the
team. The nature and amount of work has had a negative impact on some staff with
historically high workload which continues to be a challenge. Being a relatively small
youth-led organisation, there is no dedicated HR person. Development and implementation of HR policies and
procedures are carried out by the Management
Team with support of the Board.
In 2016, UNOY’s board initiated a process of professionalising UNOY’s HR. Since 2019, UNOY
has been undergoing another round of professionalisation, partially due to donor
requirements and a significant growth in the number of staff.
Again in 2022 and most recently a partnership with the EU, the organisation has
undergone further professionalisation. This resulted in the progressive strengthening of HR
policies and procedures within the organisation as well as the improvement of working
conditions for staff. Despite of that, these developments have not match the level of overall
growth and professionalisation of the organisation which is why UNOY is now looking for a
consultant to support in this HR assignment.
Furthermore, since 2021 UNOY has introduced regular staff retreats, mental health
Chats and access to professional mental health support.

youth-led organisation, there is no dedicated HR person. Development
