Security Adviser (international travel)
Location: Moorfields, London
Contract type: Permanent
Hours per week: 35
Salary: Circa GBP 48,000 per annum
A unique opportunity for the provision of security advice to staff and managers travelling and working overseas for the British Red Cross.
What you will be doing...
The British Red Cross helps people in crisis, whoever and wherever they are, it's what we do. To do that effectively, we need a Security Adviser who will provide advice, support and training to the staff and delegates, both in the UK and overseas on security and safety issues, with the aim of maintaining high standards in security and safety awareness, management and practice, in order to minimise risks to staff and thereby contribute to more effective programmes.

Who you will work with...
The Security Adviser role sits within the International HR department, embedded into the International Directorate. You will also be a member of the Health, Safety & Security Committee. You will have close working relationships with peers in other Red Cross National Societies as well as with counterparts in the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
What we are looking for...
This is a challenging role that requires a strong, resilient individual who has relevant experience of undertaking security assessments, developing country security plans, contingency plans and implementing security and safety procedures. Therefore, travel for up to two weeks at a time several times a year is expected.
You must also have demonstrable experience in developing, presenting and facilitating appropriate security training for staff as well as in establishing and maintaining incident reporting, incident mapping and analysis systems.
We would particularly welcome applicants with previous experience of representation and liaison at a senior level, particularly with INGOs, government authorities and the UN.
You should also have:
Extensive knowledge of personal security and safety issues affecting humanitarian personnel
Technical competency in field based communications systems such as HF and VHF radios, and satellite communications
General political and security knowledge of the regions in which British Red Cross is operational
Excellent judgement and decision-making skills, with proven ability to analyse complex issues, draw conclusions and make clear recommendations
Excellent inter-personal skills, with proven ability to influence others on the basis of sound analysis and advice
Closing date for applications is 23:59 on the 30th of April 2018 with interviews to follow.
