Description | Introduction The Danish Refugee Council assists refugees and internally displaced persons across the globe: we provide emergency aid, fight for their rights, and strengthen their opportunity for a brighter future. We work in conflict-affected areas, along the displacement routes, and in the countries where refugees settle. In cooperation with local communities, we strive for responsible and sustainable solutions. We work toward successful integration and – whenever possible – for the fulfilment of the wish to return home. The Danish Refugee Council was founded in Denmark in 1956 and has since grown to become an international humanitarian organization with more than 7,000 staff and 8,000 volunteers. Based in Copenhagen (Denmark) and present in forty countries, the Danish Refugee Council is a non-profit-making, politically independent, non-governmental and non-denominational relief organization. Our vision is a dignified life for all displaced. All our efforts are based on our value compass: humanity, respect, independence and neutrality, participation, and honesty and transparency.
The Regional Safety Coordinator (RSC) will advise and assist the Executive Director for West & North Africa and Latin America (ED WANALA), the Regional Senior Management Team (RSMT) and Country Directors to develop and implement DRC’s Safety Risk Management System (SRMS) across DRC programming in the region. Fully implementing the SRMS will ensure that DRC meets an appropriate level of duty of care for those who fall under DRC’s responsibility as per Global Safety Policy. The RSC reports to the ED WANALA with a technical line to the Head of Global Safety (HoGS) at HQ. While the RSC does not directly line manage safety staff, they provide technical oversight and support to safety staff within the region. 2.
