At the ICRC, we recruit three kinds of staff: mobile field staff, resident headquarters staff and resident field staff.

Below you will find everything you need to know about our contract types and our recruitment process, which differ for these three types of staff.

CONTRACT TYPES

  • Mobile Contracts

Employees on mobile contracts are hired on a Swiss-based contract and can be deployed to work in any country where there is an operational need. Employees on mobile contracts typically change country with each new assignment.

All current job openings for mobile field staff are accessible on this career site.

Please note that employees on mobile contracts cannot be assigned to a country of which they are nationals.

  • Headquarters Positions
