What we do


The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) works worldwide to provide protection and humanitarian assistance to people affected by conflict and armed violence.

We take action in response to emergencies and at the same time promote respect for international humanitarian law. We are an independent and neutral organization, and our mandate stems essentially from the Geneva Conventions of 1949.

We work closely with National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and with their International Federation in order to ensure a concerted, rational and rapid humanitarian response to the needs of the victims of armed conflict or any other situation of internal violence.

We direct and coordinate the international activities conducted in these situations.

Purpose


Being a humanitarian worker is a rewarding activity, and ICRC staff have chosen to work for this Institution because they feel highly motivated by the purpose of what they do.

Humanitarian workers live and work in physically and psychologically difficult conditions.

They are in close contact with victims of armed conflict and other situations of violence and may themselves face life-threatening situations.

ICRC acknowledges the internal workplace psychosocial risk factors as well and has committed to protecting and promoting the mental health of the staff globally through the promotion of occupational well-being and the prevention and response to psychological distress disorders.

As a Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) for staff, you intervene at five levels:
Organizational setting
Psychosocial interventions for the community of colleagues
Basic psychological support
Advanced support; and access to specialized services.
You also work closely with Management to promote staff well-being.

Your role

Lead the implementation of MHPSS aspects of the Staff health strategy as part of the Staff Health team
Improve the access to mental health care by developing or reinforcing external networks and directly providing initial clinical support to ICRC employees (resident or mobile contract)
Crisis management preparedness and response
Assess and propose interventions to reduce psychosocial hazards and improve psychosocial well-being
Design, adapt and deliver MHPSS health promotion and prevention interventions at the individual, group, managerial and organizational level
Capacity building and support to medical staff health teams to increase their capacity in terms of MHPSS

Your profile:
Education and experience

Experience in capacity building, health promotion, team management, project management, and implementing MHPSS systems within an organization
Our operational & field constraints

Offer:

Rewarding work in a humanitarian and multicultural environment
Strong technical and peers support within a multidisciplinary team

A competitive employment package with attractive social benefits: a salary paid on thirteen months, a pension plan, medical and accident coverage, etc.
