∎ Expected Start Date: At Earliest
∎ Founded in 1933, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) is one of the world’s leading agencies working in post-conflict and development contexts, supporting communities in over 40 fragile, failed and developing states. In this capacity, we work to restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted, struggling to endure and wishing to advance on a path of development.
∎ The IRC has been present in Bangladesh since 2017 and obtained registration with the NGOAB in March 2018. Since the IRC obtained registration in March 2018, it has moved quickly to expand its integrated emergency health and protection response through both direct and partner-based programming focused on primary healthcare, women’s protection and empowerment, sexual and reproductive health, gender-based violence and child protection. Recently IRC has also introduced two new programs: Protection Rule of Law (PRoL) and Education. Through 2018, the IRC’s response strategy will primarily target Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar, while meeting the significant needs in both refugee and host populations, as already existing vulnerabilities are compounded with cyclical monsoon and cyclone seasons that impose additional threats to the lives and protection of those refugees as well as vulnerable host populations. IRC will grow over time its geographic coverage within Cox’s bazar and to other parts of the country, thus expand its’ networks and partnerships around emergency preparedness and response work, reach beyond the Rohingya refugees, also targeting the vulnerable host groups in Cox’s Bazar and other parts of Bangladesh.
∎ The Senior Child Protection Officer will support responses for children vulnerable to abuse, exploitation, neglect, and violence, including unaccompanied and separated children. He will oversee and support case workers within integrated teams to identify, assess, and refer children in need of protection to appropriate services, ensuring technical guidance and supervision throughout the case management process. The role requires a minimum of three years of experience implementing child protection programs, with a strong focus on case management in humanitarian settings. The Senior Officer will provide critical guidance in implementing child protection and emergency response activities in the field. The role will prioritize delivering high-quality case management services in alignment with global standards and ensuring integration with the overall humanitarian response in Bangladesh.
∎ The Child Protection Senior Officer will support the Child Protection Manager in establishing child protection case management interventions and strengthening existing responses for children at risk of or experiencing abuse, neglect, violence, and exploitation, including unaccompanied and separated children. This role is particularly important in contexts of protracted response, emergency natural disasters or heightened child protection risks.
