About The Role/ What The Role Offers
CARE Canada’s bold strategic plan, From Caring Comes Courage (2021 – 2025), sets out CARE Canada’s commitment to bring all our resources, talent, and expertise together to unlock women’s leadership for a gender-just future. It recognizes that to lead change and realize a better life for herself and her community, every woman needs to be safe, healthy and have a dignified livelihood. It also fundamentally realizes that ‘business as usual’ is no longer good enough: this Plan challenges us to reimagine how we achieve our mission, inspire Canadian investment in that mission, and transform our organization to be future-ready.
The Risk Management, Safety, and Security Advisor charge for the implementation of the CARE International-required safety and security management systems that are required in CARE Canada and CARE Cuba.
Under the leadership of a Director, People, and Culture you will be responsible for overseeing safety and security aspects within the organization. Additionally, you will have a dotted line reporting relationship to the VP, Strategy, People, and Systems for the purpose of managing Risk Management aspects.
You will be leading the ongoing enhancement and management of systems and processes that enable CARE Canada to manage the safety & security of personnel, assets, and program implementation effectively within its risk appetite. You will provide the tools and information to Senior Leadership to ensure that safety and security risks both to staff, and the organization, are identified, assessed, documented, and mitigated and that the CARE Canada Board of Directors and the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) are equipped to fulfill their governance responsibilities in this area. In addition, they will participate in the CARE International Safety & Security network.
In your role, you will actively engage with CARE International and peers in relevant organizations in coordinated efforts to implement best practices, plans, and processes, harmonization of policies when possible, and enhance staff safety and security knowledge, skills, and culture through the provision, as well as coordination, of staff training.
Because of the nature of the work, demands are fast-paced and unpredictable. To thrive in this job, you will need to be flexible and be willing to both lead and work as part of a close-knit team when needed.
Gender is at the heart of CARE’s mandate, and therefore at the center of everything we do. You must have a strong commitment to gender equality and be keen to learn more about how these fit into the work that we do.
