Speech And Language Therapist Jobs in Lebanon

<p>The consultant is expected to draft a paper that develops a framework outlining the key determinants for advancing care reforms and systems.</p><p>Work Location Remote Expected duration 3 months Duties and Responsibilities Background Around the world, societies and economies are undergoing socio-demographic changes such as ageing populations, low fertility rates, urbanization, increased migration, widespread crises and conflicts, and climate change, which have all intensified the demand for care. However, while gaining global importance, care work still remains invisible and undervalued, often relegated to informal and unpaid labour, disproportionately borne by women, thus hindering their empowerment. Although this trend is observed globally, it is particularly acute in the Arab region where women undertake 80 to 90 per cent of all unpaid care work and spend 4.7 times more time than men on these responsibilities, exceeding the global average of 3.62 . Unpaid care work hinders women s visibility and participation in public economic and political spheres as well as in decision-making processes in the Arab region. The disproportionate unpaid care work undertaken by women limits their economic engagement and opportunities, as it makes it challenging for them to balance work and family responsibilities. Additionally, women often face gender stereotypes, limited professional development opportunities, and an institutional culture that marginalizes their contributions. Women s economic and political participation in the region remain low compared to global averages. In 2025, women s labour force participation was only 19 per cent, less than half the global average of 49 per cent, making it the lowest rate worldwide . Women s political representation shows a similarly stark gap. In December 2025, women held only 27 per cent of national parliamentary seats globally, with an even lower share in the Middle East and North Africa at around 16 per cent, the lowest in the world . However, there has been growing regional momentum realizing gains in the care economy with many countries in the Arab region offering instructive examples of care reforms. Nevertheless, these reforms are often sector-specific, focusing on one policy area such as labour without approaching care in a holistic manner interconnected across different sectors and policy areas. Within this context, understanding the political economy which examines how social, economic, and political factors shape care policies and systems becomes a pressing priority. Building on these reform efforts in the Arab region and looking at breakthroughs in care policymaking globally, including Latin America which has been particularly active in advancing comprehensive care systems, it is increasingly important to understand how care, often framed solely as a gender equality issue, intersects with other major development issues and policy domains. This highlights the regional need for policies that recognize care as a central element of sustainable economies and redistribute it among different stakeholders including the state. Ongoing inter-regional collaboration between UN regional commissions, namely ESCWA and the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) including through a project on advancing care policies for transformative recovery in Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia-Pacific and the Arab states, seeks to draw lessons from Latin American countries experiences in advancing comprehensive care systems. Given the inherent political nature of care policymaking, it is essential to understand what prompts political actors to prioritize care. A key driver is awareness around the critical role care plays in society and its far-reaching implications for economic and social well-being. When care is made visible as a cross-cutting issue that affects economic growth, labour force participation, health outcomes, social cohesion, and gender equality, it is more likely to gain traction in political discourse and influence the selection of policy instruments, thereby driving change in laws, budgets, and institutional support for care systems.</p><p>Objective and methodology ESCWA seeks to hire a consultant to assist in drafting a paper, in collaboration with ECLAC, that thoroughly examines the factors and determinants behind care reforms, investigating the political economy of care in the Arab region and relating it to Latin America s experience. The paper will draw on experiences from both Latin American and Arab countries to demonstrate the importance of moving beyond fragmented care reform policies towards comprehensive care systems. It will build on the recommendations provided by experts during ESCWA s Expert Group Meeting on the Political Economy of Care Policies: Determinants for Reform in the Arab Region organized in July 2026.</p><p>Tasks and responsibilities The consultant will be responsible for the following tasks:</p><ul><li>Desk review: undertake a desk review of available successful and as well as unachieved experiences in advancing care policies and systems from Latin America and the Arab region;</li><li>Based on the results of the desk review, undertake consultations with relevant stakeholders on the main determinants, challenges or barriers which they have faced while working on advancing care policies and systems;</li><li>Review the results of consultations with relevant stakeholders from the Arab region on the main determinants, challenges or barriers which they have faced while working on advancing care policies and systems;</li><li>Propose the elements and dynamics among key determinants to advance care policies and systems and draw lessons for future policy making and reforms on care while taking into account the discussions and recommendations of the Expert Group Meeting above mentioned.</li><li>Suggest a detailed outline to be validated and agreed upon with ESCWA s team in consultation with ECLAC;</li><li>Based on the agreed outline, prepare the first draft of the paper to be reviewed by ESCWA s team;</li><li>Prepare a final draft based on the comments and recommendations provided by ESCWA and ECLAC s teams.</li></ul><p>Supervision: The consultant will work Under the direct supervision of the Social Affairs Officer responsible for the care economy stream at the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) Ms. Rouba ARJA, and overall guidance of the gender Justice, Population and Inclusive Development cluster leader.

<p><h4>Description</h4> <p>Aspire Software is looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer (AI) to join our team in Lebanon.</p> <p>Here is a little window into our company: Aspire Software operates and manages wholly owned software companies, providing mission-critical solutions across multiple verticals. By implementing industry best practices, Aspire delivers a time sensitive integration process, and the operation of a decentralized model has allowed it to become a hub for creating rapid growth by reinvesting in its portfolio.</p> <h4>About the role</h4> <p>As a Forward Deployed Engineer (AI), you embed directly with our businesses to design and ship AI-powered solutions against real, often messy, problems. You'll move between companies and domains — building a retrieval pipeline for one business one month, standing up an agent workflow for another the next. You own problems end to end: understand the domain, scope the solution, build it, and get it into production.</p> <p>This is fundamentally a builder's role. We care far more about whether you can turn a problem into working software with modern AI tooling than about the title you held before. That means we're open to two kinds of people: experienced software developers, and senior product managers (or others from a product background) who have the technical know-how to actually build things themselves. If you can ship, and you're fluent with AI tooling, the lane you came from matters less than what you can do with it.</p> <h4>Why this role is different</h4> <ul> <li>Hard problems, real impact. The projects are demanding and technically ambitious — you'll work at the frontier of what current AI tooling makes possible, on systems people actually depend on.</li> <li>Breadth no single company can offer. Across finance, logistics, education, government, and automotive, you'll see a far wider range of problems, data, and constraints than you would inside one product — and get sharp at recognizing patterns across all of them.</li> <li>Latest tools, encouraged. We expect you to use the best available AI development tools and to push them hard. Experimentation is part of the job, not a side project.</li> <li>Genuinely generous with tooling. This is one of the real perks of the role. Our leadership structure lets us purchase tools quickly, and we're open about which AI toolsets you use — if a tool will make you faster or better, we'll get it for you without a drawn-out approval process.</li> <li>Autonomy. You're trusted to go deep into a business, figure out what's worth building, and ship it.</li> </ul> <h4>What you'll do</h4> <ul> <li>Embed with portfolio businesses to identify, scope, and build AI-powered solutions to high-value problems.</li> <li>Design and build RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) pipelines and agentic systems that integrate with each business's data and workflows.</li> <li>Integrate large language models via APIs (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI/GPT, and others) into production applications.</li> <li>Use AI-native development tools (Cursor, Claude, Windsurf) and automation platforms (n8n and similar) to build and ship quickly.</li> <li>Take projects from problem framing through to deployed, maintainable software.</li> <li>Move fluidly between business domains, ramping up fast on unfamiliar industries and codebases.</li> </ul> <h4>Requirements</h4> <p>The non-negotiable is that you can build. Beyond that, we recognize two paths into this role:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Senior software developers</strong> — you've built and shipped real systems and can operate independently. (In rare cases we'll consider a less experienced developer who is exceptionally strong with AI tooling, but senior experience is the norm.)</li> <li><strong>Senior product managers / product backgrounds</strong> — you've worked in a product or product-management role and have the genuine technical know-how to build things yourself, not just spec them. If you can take a problem and ship a working AI-powered solution, your product instincts are a real asset here.</li> </ul> <p>Whichever path you come from, we also expect:</p> <ul> <li>Hands-on experience with AI-native tools such as Cursor, Claude, and Windsurf, and a genuine interest in AI more broadly.</li> <li>Comfort integrating AI APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, and others) into real applications.</li> <li>The ability to own ambiguous problems end to end and ship.</li> <li>Adaptability — you enjoy jumping into new domains and getting productive quickly.</li> </ul> <h4>Nice to have</h4> <ul> <li>Experience building RAG pipelines in production.</li> <li>Experience building agents / agentic workflows.</li> <li>Familiarity with n8n or similar automation / orchestration platforms.</li> <li>Exposure to any of our verticals: finance, logistics, education, government, or automotive.</li> </ul> <h4>Tools & technologies you'll work with</h4> <p>Anthropic Claude · OpenAI/GPT · Cursor · Windsurf · RAG pipelines · AI agents · n8n · LLM APIs</p></p><p></p>

<h2 class="h5">Job description</h2> <div class="t-break" data-jb-field="description"> Result of Service<br>The consultant is expected to draft a paper that develops a framework outlining the key determinants for advancing care reforms and systems.<br> Work Location<br>Remote<br> Expected duration<br>3 months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>Background Around the world, societies and economies are undergoing socio-demographic changes such as ageing populations, low fertility rates, urbanization, increased migration, widespread crises and conflicts, and climate change, which have all intensified the demand for care. However, while gaining global importance, care work still remains invisible and undervalued, often relegated to informal and unpaid labour, disproportionately borne by women, thus hindering their empowerment. Although this trend is observed globally, it is particularly acute in the Arab region where women undertake 80 to 90 per cent of all unpaid care work and spend 4.7 times more time than men on these responsibilities, exceeding the global average of 3.62 . Unpaid care work hinders women’s visibility and participation in public economic and political spheres as well as in decision-making processes in the Arab region. The disproportionate unpaid care work undertaken by women limits their economic engagement and opportunities, as it makes it challenging for them to balance work and family responsibilities. Additionally, women often face gender stereotypes, limited professional development opportunities, and an institutional culture that marginalizes their contributions. Women’s economic and political participation in the region remain low compared to global averages. In 2025, women’s labour force participation was only 19 per cent, less than half the global average of 49 per cent, making it the lowest rate worldwide . Women’s political representation shows a similarly stark gap. In December 2025, women held only 27 per cent of national parliamentary seats globally, with an even lower share in the Middle East and North Africa at around 16 per cent, the lowest in the world . However, there has been growing regional momentum realizing gains in the care economy with many countries in the Arab region offering instructive examples of care reforms. Nevertheless, these reforms are often sector-specific, focusing on one policy area such as labour without approaching care in a holistic manner interconnected across different sectors and policy areas. Within this context, understanding the political economy which examines how social, economic, and political factors shape care policies and systems becomes a pressing priority. Building on these reform efforts in the Arab region and looking at breakthroughs in care policymaking globally, including Latin America which has been particularly active in advancing comprehensive care systems, it is increasingly important to understand how care, often framed solely as a gender equality issue, intersects with other major development issues and policy domains. This highlights the regional need for policies that recognize care as a central element of sustainable economies and redistribute it among different stakeholders including the state. Ongoing inter-regional collaboration between UN regional commissions, namely ESCWA and the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) including through a project on advancing care policies for transformative recovery in Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia-Pacific and the Arab states, seeks to draw lessons from Latin American countries’ experiences in advancing comprehensive care systems. Given the inherent political nature of care policymaking, it is essential to understand what prompts political actors to prioritize care. A key driver is awareness around the critical role care plays in society and its far-reaching implications for economic and social well-being. When care is made visible as a cross-cutting issue that affects economic growth, labour force participation, health outcomes, social cohesion, and gender equality, it is more likely to gain traction in political discourse and influence the selection of policy instruments, thereby driving change in laws, budgets, and institutional support for care systems. Objective and methodology ESCWA seeks to hire a consultant to assist in drafting a paper, in collaboration with ECLAC, that thoroughly examines the factors and determinants behind care reforms, investigating the political economy of care in the Arab region and relating it to Latin America’s experience. The paper will draw on experiences from both Latin American and Arab countries to demonstrate the importance of moving beyond fragmented care reform policies towards comprehensive care systems. It will build on the recommendations provided by experts during ESCWA’s Expert Group Meeting on the Political Economy of Care Policies: Determinants for Reform in the Arab Region organized in July 2026. Tasks and responsibilities The consultant will be responsible for the following tasks: - Desk review: undertake a desk review of available successful and as well as unachieved experiences in advancing care policies and systems from Latin America and the Arab region; - Based on the results of the desk review, undertake consultations with relevant stakeholders on the main determinants, challenges or barriers which they have faced while working on advancing care policies and systems; - Review the results of consultations with relevant stakeholders from the Arab region on the main determinants, challenges or barriers which they have faced while working on advancing care policies and systems; - Propose the elements and dynamics among key determinants to advance care policies and systems and draw lessons for future policy making and reforms on care while taking into account the discussions and recommendations of the Expert Group Meeting above mentioned. - Suggest a detailed outline to be validated and agreed upon with ESCWA’s team in consultation with ECLAC; - Based on the agreed outline, prepare the first draft of the paper to be reviewed by ESCWA’s team; - Prepare a final draft based on the comments and recommendations provided by ESCWA and ECLAC’s teams. Supervision: The consultant will work Under the direct supervision of the Social Affairs Officer responsible for the care economy stream at the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) Ms. Rouba ARJA, and overall guidance of the gender Justice, Population and Inclusive Development cluster leader.
