NRC Ukraine Emergency Response: Ukraine Based Roles

The Norwegian Refugee Council today launches its humanitarian response plan for the next six- months, aiming to reach 800,000 people inside Ukraine and neighboring countries. 

The Norwegian Refugee Council has been present in Ukraine since 2014, helping more than 700,000 people with food, shelter, water, sanitation, and legal assistance.  

Today NRC is providing support to people affected by armed conflict and those fleeing in search of safety. NRC's focus is to provide immediate humanitarian relief, including cash, shelter assistance, information counselling and legal aid. Owing to a rapid change of the situation inside Ukraine in February 2022, during which the whole country became affected by rapidly escalating conflict, NRC is now scaling up its emergency programmes and establishing new logistic and supply chains stretching from outside of Ukraine and inside across the whole country, from west to the east. 

We are seeking highly qualified, resilient, dynamic professionals with the requisite skills and experience to be able to work and deliver high quality humanitarian response programming in Shelter, ICLA, WASH, Protection and Livelihoods and Food Security as well as filling important support functions for the country programme. Ukraine is a complex emergency, requiring staff with experience of working in dynamic and insecure security contexts. You will bring to your work an independent and can-do attitude, as well as advanced communication and collaboration skills.   

Current positions we are recruiting to help grow and expand our programme are listed below.  

Some of the positions will be prioritised for filling as quickly as possible, while some of the positions it may take some time before we can get back to applicants.
