Climate - Resilient Labour Mobility Specialist

IHRB is recruiting a Consultant to design and deliver a Climate-Resilient Labour Mobility Framework for Business – a tool intended to help businesses across front-line sectors from a climate perspective ensure their adaptation investments and solutions are inclusive of their workforce affected by those same climate risks, many of whom will be migrant workers who have left their home countries due to climate stresses.

This role requires deep expertise on the African continent, while the work itself will have a global remit. The consultant will work closely with IHRB colleagues leading work across the South Asia and Americas corridors, and their Africa-focused expertise should both complement and connect with this broader body of work.

Deadline for applications: Sunday 26 July 2026 (11.59pm BST)
