**CONTEXT AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION:** AVSI Brazil is a non-profit civil society organization, founded in 2007, that works to improve the living conditions of people in situations of vulnerability. It operates in partnership with international cooperation actors, the public sector, and the private sector. Linked to the AVSI Foundation—an Italian NGO active in Brazil since the 1980s—its mission is to promote people’s protagonism in their own development, as well as that of their families and communities. It implements social projects based on a methodology of integral and solidarity-based development, focused on autonomy and human dignity. In recent years, Venezuela has experienced a severe crisis, resulting in social vulnerability and a humanitarian emergency manifested through intense migration into Brazilian territory. In 2018, in response to this demand, the Federal Government launched Operation Welcome, whose objective is to ensure assistance for Venezuelan refugees and migrants. The operation comprises a series of strategies—including documentation regularization, immunization, reception, and voluntary relocation—aimed at assisting vulnerable individuals by relocating them from municipalities in Roraima to other cities across Brazil. AVSI Brazil participates in the federal response to the Venezuelan humanitarian emergency under Operation Welcome and, in this context, formalized a Collaboration Agreement with the Ministry of Social Development (MDS) to operate in four (4) reception centers (shelters) for Venezuelan refugees and migrants in the cities of Boa Vista and Pacaraima, in Roraima. **SUMMARY JOB DESCRIPTION:** Under the supervision of the Community-Based Protection Officer, the Community-Based Protection Assistant shall support the implementation of community-based protection activities, particularly focusing on preventing violence within the shelter community environment, mitigating risks and vulnerabilities.
