Do YOU want to make a difference?

Join the world’s largest humanitarian network. The Canadian Red Cross Society (CRCS) is a not for profit, humanitarian organization dedicated to helping Canadians, as well as the most vulnerable throughout the world.

The Canadian Red Cross – International Operations is seeking experienced Logistician Delegate professionals to join our Emergency Response Unit (ERU) delegate register! When you apply to this selection process, you are not applying for a specific job, but to an inventory for future vacancies. As opportunities become available, applicants who meet the qualifications may be contacted for further assessment.

Background: An ERU is composed of trained personnel (whom we call delegates) and state-of-the-art equipment ready to deploy at short notice nationally or internationally, to some of the most remote regions of the world, providing medical and healthcare aid to anyone affected by disasters and emergencies. ERUs also prop up temporarily replaced local infrastructure with logistical, communication, administrative, clean water and sanitation support.

This opportunity means that if you’re selected to be part of the ERU Logistician Delegate register, your application will be reviewed on a rolling-basis, and should you meet the role qualifications, we will contact you accordingly once there is a direct requirement for your profile and start you on the path of deploying with us as a delegate!

To deploy with us on national or international missions as an ERU Logistician Delegate, you must have:

• Completed a number of mandatory online courses and in-person training as required upon selection and onboarding

• Previous international experience in a humanitarian-related context

• Excellent physical & mental health with the ability to complete and maintain a thorough medical screening process
