Vor 4 Tagen
**Requisition ID**: 18473
**Region**: Global Deployment Option
**Contract type**: Open-ended contract
What we do
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) works worldwide to provide 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.
Your Role
The ICRC has made a commitment to providing high-quality health programmes, crafted to meet professional standards.
This emergency care is intended for various groups, including weapon-bearers, mine-clearers, protesters, community organizations, health-care personnel, and local emergency-response organizations.
Main responsibilities
The scope varies according to context and length of the assignment.
Develop a deep understanding of the health and emergency care system in given contexts
Identify the support needed to improve the emergency response from the scene to the referral health structures
Select adequate interventions to support and develop local capacity, and establish realistic project proposals in line with ICRC guidelines taking into account local realities
Implement, supervise and evaluate activities according to set objectives, and build action plans according to needs and resources
Ensure accurate staff management and safety and support local partners involved in the emergency response system
Build working relationships amongst emergency response partners (State and non-State actors, including the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement)
As an ambassador of the ICRC, maintain dialogue as necessary with all actors to ensure the work is carried out as securely and effectively as possible.
Education and experience required
University degree as a Paramedic is strongly favoured, however, Advanced Emergency Technicians, Nurses, and Doctors may be considered with extensive prehospital and ambulance experience.
A minimum of 3 to 5 years of proven experience post-degree, including 2-3 years of international humanitarian experience in contexts where the ICRC is operational (i.e. areas affected by conflict or other situations of violence)
Significant experience in Pre-hospital Emergency Care and First Aid with managerial responsibilities and a qualification and experience as a trainer
Excellent English verbal and written communication skills
Our operational context
In line with the principle of neutrality, the ICRC does not assign personnel to a country of which they are nationals
You are in good health and will do a medical check-up prior to departure in the field
You are prepared to accept unaccompanied postings (i.e. no spouse, partner, children or dependents) for at least the first 24 months.
In line with our security guidelines, you must hold a manual driving license
Our offer in a nutshell
Rewarding work in a humanitarian and multicultural environment with an attractive salary and social benefits
A two-week orientation course and other opportunities for further in-house training
Length of assignment can vary from a few months to over 12 months depending upon operational need.
