Adviser - Red Cross People

Australian Red Cross
  • Permanent position
  • Full time - 38 hours per week
  • Based in East Perth, WA

Who are we

Australian Red Cross is part of the world’s largest humanitarian organisation. Our aim is to improve the lives of the most vulnerable people in Australia and across our region.

About the role

Promoting International Humanitarian Law (IHL), or ‘the laws of war’, is a key priority for Australian Red Cross, one of 192 National Societies in the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (the Movement). The Geneva Conventions and the Statutes of the Movement underpin the unique role of National Societies; how they work within the Fundamental Principles and their status as auxiliary to the public authorities in the humanitarian field.

Under the direction of the Senior Adviser to Red Cross People, and working closely with the IHL team, the Adviser to Red Cross People engages with Australian Red Cross staff, volunteers and members to promote understanding of the Movement, the unique role of the National Society and the Fundamental Principles. This understanding enables Red Cross people to use Red Cross ways of working to achieve the greatest humanitarian impact.

The role is primarily responsible for ensuring consistent and professional training and engagement of Red Cross people on these aspects of the Movement, the Fundamental Principles, and international humanitarian law. 

What you will bring

  • Training in or demonstrated interest and understanding of international humanitarian law
  • Qualifications or training in policy, law or other relevant fields (highly regarded)
  • Experience working for Australian Red Cross or other components of the Movement (as a staff member or volunteer) (highly regarded)
  • Ability to think strategically, creatively and innovatively
  • Ability to use different online platforms to deliver training and navigate remote access to Australian Red Cross online systems
  • Ability to work simultaneously with a range of diverse stakeholders
  • Capacity to travel interstate for short periods of time

A driver's licence is a mandatory requirement for this position.

The benefits

Be part of one of the largest humanitarian organisations and know that the work that you do will help improve outcomes for vulnerable people.
