I've been searching both my mind and several thesauruses attempting to find the adjective that best describes this type of person.
The term "thick-skinned" is the closest to what I am trying to convey, but that carries the connotation that he/she is callous and does not care about others.
Is there a word that describes someone who is not easily offended — able to withstand criticism, ridicule, or jokes made at his/her expense — without also implying that the person is emotionally callous?

As a phrase, there is have a broad back:
But this goes back to thick-skinned:
As you said, thick-skinned has two meanings. One of the meaning is what you ask but the other one is what you want to avoid. It would depend on the context then.
