IRC Job Vacancy 2022
Background/IRC Summary: IRC’s global Duty of Care (DoC) program has grown rapidly since its launch in 2018. Originally a one person team, we are now a thriving seven person unit which supports the health and wellbeing of IRC’s workforce. Starting in FY23, the DOC program will be adopting a regional structure. In this structure, each region will have a dedicated DOC staff member who will support staff care and staff health plans for each country program and the regional office. In addition to the growth of the overall team by volume, the DOC team will also be undergoing a shift from having two internal units (staff health and staff wellbeing) into a model wherein all staff will cross train to provide support in both areas. Each team member will also be encouraged to nurture a specialty area of focus in either staff health or response to violence (Ex: domestic violence, critical incident recovery). This model will enable the team as a whole to have the deep expertise required for materials development, staff facing interventions, and cross coverage.
Highlights of Your Key Responsibilities:
- Provide authoritative support and mentorship to senior leaders around staff care planning following critical incidents.
- Develop training materials and job aids to support transition to the new cross-training model.
- Provide ongoing support and training to team, improving their capacity to support the resilience and wellbeing of the client groups. This includes models for supporting local teams responding to acute mental health crisis, security incidents, domestic violence, and other life crises.
- Develop staff-facing training tools on DOC topics following an existing model.
- Lead on preparations for a one week in-person training to launch the new regional structure
- Lead on delivery of in-person training for DOC team members to launch new strategy
- Ensure oversight of new regional DOC model once launched through high touch planning support and strategic mentorship to Regional DOC Advisors, RVP/RDs, and Regional HR leaders
- Other support to the Senior Director as required.
Qualification:
- Masters or PhD prepared psychologist, counselor, social worker or other mental health professional
Experience:
- Extensive experience working in international development or humanitarian assistance organizations. Significant leadership experience in programs or administration.
