Programme Manager – Integration
The Irish Red Cross is recruiting for a Programme Manager- Integration.
JOB DETAILS
Title: Programme Manager – Integration
Duration: One year (with possible extension)
Salary: Programme Manager €55,000 to €63,0001
Reporting to: Head of International & Migration
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Irish Red Cross Society (IRC) is part of the world’s largest independent humanitarian network, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. The IRC is committed to and bound by, its Fundamental Principles of Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary Service, Unity and Universality. The vision of the Irish Red Cross is to be a leading humanitarian organisation, providing impartial services and support to vulnerable communities both at home and abroad.
Our mission is to identify and deliver humanitarian assistance to those who are most in need. Migration is a priority focus for the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement internationally as well as for the IRC in Ireland. Ireland, along with other countries, has experienced considerably more inward migration in recent years from people in need of protection and, as a result, is challenged to respond with appropriate supports for all affected. The IRC has worked on migration for several years and is considered a key actor in responding to the humanitarian needs of refugees/migrants seeking protection and a future in Ireland, with programming in the areas of resettlement and responding to the Ukraine crisis, among others.
SUMMARY OF ROLE
This Programme Manager will be responsible for leading and managing significant programme areas within the Migration department. Specifically, the role will lead on the integration programming. This currently includes integration activities such as skills and language training for migrants (implemented by sub-contractors and – to a lesser extent directly), signposting and awareness raising to integration supports, and engaging with relevant local stakeholders (such as local authority integration teams and others). The role will also support the integration approaches of wider migration programme and it is expected that the role will further expand activities, in line with organisational strategy. The role is also responsible for donor grant management and will directly line manage a team of three.
