More than 3.6 million people have fled across borders to seek safety in the 1st month since the escalation of conflict in Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and over 6.5 million Ukrainians are reported to be displaced internally. As the vast majority of the displaced are women, girls, and boys, this could become the worst humanitarian crisis Europe has seen in decades.

Between February 7-23, 2022, an IRC team undertook a scoping mission covering Poland and Ukraine to better understand the context, humanitarian and civil society landscape, and anticipated service gaps in the event of an escalation of conflict in Ukraine and consequent displacement into neighboring Poland. As of February 24th, the IRC has pivoted to an emergency response, and have identified partner agencies in Ukraine to facilitate immediate assistance that can be used where it is the most needed. Simultaneously, the IRC is establishing operations across Ukraine to complement partner response services either in breadth or scale.

This position will be based in Dnipro, with occasional travel to other locations in Ukraine as permitted and occasionally to Rzeszow Poland, and other locations. As this is a fluid and rapidly changing context, the location of this position and length of assignment may change based on the needs of the program.

The Safeguarding Manager will support the Ukraine Country Program as it prevents and responds to safeguarding violations in the context of the current crisis. The Safeguarding Manager will work collaboratively across programs and operations teams to ensure learning, accountability and zero tolerance of exploitation and abuse of clients, including but not limited to sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA). The Safeguarding Manager will work closely with the IRC Protection program and partners to ensure functional, safe and confidential reporting mechanisms and services for people who experience SEA and other safeguarding violations. Finally, the Safeguarding Manager will work alongside Human Resources to promote a safe workplace for all IRC staff and associates.
