Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. The IRC is on the ground in some 40 countries providing emergency relief, relocating refugees and rebuilding lives in the wake of disaster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The IRC is committed to a culture of bold leadership, innovation in all aspects of our work, creative partnerships and, most crucially, accountability to those we serve. The IRC is a tireless advocate for the most vulnerable. Europe is one of the fastest growing regions for the IRC and currently consists of offices in the UK, Belgium, Switzerland and Germany. IRC\u2019s Resettlement, Asylum and Integration team manages a number of country programmes in Europe including the UK, Germany, Greece and Italy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The IRC launched an emergency response to the crisis in Ukraine in February 2022 and has been working directly and with local partners to reach those most in need. At present we are in Poland, Ukraine and Moldova, delivering vital services such as cash assistance, mental health support, and safe healing and learning spaces for children. We have also expanded our support in Greece, Germany, Italy, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-size: large;\">THE EUROPE POLICY &amp; ADVOCACY DEPARTMENT<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The European Policy and Advocacy Team, headed by the Senior Director of Policy &amp; Advocacy, consists of 15 staff based across the UK, Belgium and Germany. The core purpose of the Policy and Advocacy Department is to increase the IRC\u2019s influence and profile, developing the IRC as a thought leader in Europe that can drive transformational policy change in the humanitarian sector. We aim to improve outcomes for people living in, and displaced by, conflict and crisis. The team works closely with IRC\u2019s global team of policy analysts and advocates based in Washington DC, New York and Geneva as well as programmes teams in countries and regions around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Purpose of the role<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">This position will conduct detailed policy monitoring and analysis, produce policy briefings and other products, and work closely with advocacy colleagues on strategies to influence EU institutions and key European countries in their approach to both the immediate and long term needs of refugees fleeing Ukraine.
