Facility Coordinator

Do you want to fight for equality? Tackling inequality at its roots, together with colleagues, our partner organizations and activists in more than 90 countries? To change the systems behind it, once and for all!

Oxfam Novib stands behind the people who stand up for equality. Together, we fight for a world where everyone has equal opportunities, regardless of religion, ethnicity, sex, disability, sexual orientation and gender identity. A world where everyone feels safe; where income gaps are shrinking instead of growing, where climate change is tackled firmly. 

Equality is the common thread in our work, both internally and externally. We recognize that our team of colleagues can become even more diverse, and that only with a diverse team can we gain a broad perspective on the world. Therefore, we want to encourage everyone who is interested in applying. Our aim is to create an environment where colleagues feel welcome, diversity is embraced and celebrated, and a rich variety of perspectives come together to build an inclusive and inspiring workplace.

Apply and become part of Oxfam Novib!

Job description
The HRPC & Facilities Services Unit brings together two vital areas: Human Resources, People & Culture (HRPC) and Facilities Services. HRPC is all about shaping a vibrant, supportive, and inspiring workplace in The Hague that aligns with Oxfam Novib’s vision and long-term goals within the Oxfam confederation. The team focuses on fostering engagement, well-being and professional growth, creating opportunities for connection, learning and development, while embedding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) into all strategies and policies.

You will be part of a dedicated team, reporting directly to the HRPC Manager, playing a key role in shaping the workplace experience.

At Oxfam Novib, the office is more than a workplace – it’s a hub for collaboration, creativity, and connection, set in the serene surroundings of The Hague Forest. The Facility Coordinator plays a central role in making this happen, ensuring that both the physical environment (the “bricks”) and the office culture (the “behavior”) support a productive, inclusive, and enjoyable experience for everyone.

• Promote desired behaviors, such as collaborative work, inclusion, and active office presence.

• Serve as the main contact for staff and management regarding facilities.
