JOB SUMMARY:
BACKGROUND
Since 1933, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) has developed unparalleled expertise in
responding to emergencies and helping uprooted communities to rebuild. Founded at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers life-saving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster.
The International Rescue Committee UK is part of the IRC global network, which is on the ground in more than 40 countries, providing emergency relief, relocating refugees and rebuilding lives in the wake of disaster. Through over 20 regional offices in cities across the United States, the IRC also helps refugees resettle in the US and become self-sufficient.
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.
IRC UK
IRC UK was established in London in 1997 to support the organisation’s global activities and
particularly to diversify its donor base and be able to better advocate with European policy-makers on behalf of the people we serve. Since its establishment IRC UK has grown rapidly and is now acknowledged for its high-quality project management, technical expertise in governance and rights and economic recovery, and innovative thinking on early recovery and gender-based
violence. IRC UK comprises approximately 240 staff.
IRC UK launched its first Resettlement Asylum and Integration (RAI) programme in the UK called RISE in 2020, working in partnership with local councils, to provide integration support to resettled refugees in Southeast England. The IRC now supports refugees and asylum seekers throughout England. In September 2023 we will launch a new Refugee Employability Project (REP) in the South West of England, a programme to help support refugees into work.
