Terre des Hommes Netherlands (TdH NL) is an international non-governmental organisation committed to stopping child exploitation. Our mission is to protect children by preventing and stopping child exploitation, and by empowering children to make their voices count. Our vision is that children can flourish in a world free of all forms of exploitation.
TdH NL operates in multiple countries across Asia, Africa, and Europe. In Asia we work in Cambodia, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, the Philippines, and Thailand, the organisation maintains country offices and a regional structure supporting programmatic and operational excellence.
The HR Business Partner (HRBP) will play a central role in managing the HR implications of the Cambodia office closure, including where applicable, contract management, final settlements, documentation, and compliance with Cambodian labour legislation. In parallel, the role will support the transition of the Regional Office to Bangkok, including organisational adjustments, potential staff movements or re-contracting, onboarding within the new structure, and alignment and the overall operations transition of the Regional Office Asia aligned with Cambodia and Thai labour regulations.
This period requires strong change management, clear and empathetic communication, and close guidance to managers handling sensitive discussions. The HRBP will help ensure fairness, safeguard employee wellbeing, and maintain operational continuity throughout the transition.
