The purpose of NRC’s Humanitarian Access and Safety (HAS) function is to enable a principled humanitarian
response in a safe manner, for the communities and partners we work with and our staff. Despite NRC’s success in
delivering assistance to those in need, security and access constraints remain significant challenges. Obstacles
such as conflict and violence, environmental and physical challenges, bureaucratic hurdles, and interference in
humanitarian operations, hinder the delivery of services and protection to displacement affected people.

The Humanitarian Access and Safety (HAS) Officer provides a range of support in humanitarian access, safety, and
security within the area. Under the supervision of the HAS Coordinator the HAS Officer supports the
implementation and monitoring of the NRC's HAS Policy, plans, procedures, trackers, and processes in the North
Area Office and related Field Offices (Chernihiv and Shostka). This role requires frequent presence in the field
supporting the safe and principled delivery of programmes and the Duty of Care for NRC staff.
