Open Position: Program Officer

Job Profile

OSF’s PHP seeks a full-time Program Officer (PO) based in Budapest to develop and implement portfolios of grants to advance the health and human rights of people with the lived experience of mental health problems. PHP’s mental health work promotes the rights, dignity and social inclusion of people with the lived experience aiming to counterbalance the predominance of the biomedical framework that has governed policy and practice in mental health, often with grave human rights consequences. Presently, our work focuses on four interconnected issues in mental health and human rights: global financing for mental health reforms; the influence of the pharmaceutical industry and other private interests in mental health; the mental health and wellbeing of people in high-risk situations, such migrants and people who use drugs; and the establishment of a new enterprise to support the dissemination of models of community inclusion in mental health and disability globally.
