Recovery Operations Manager British Red Cross
The British Red Cross (BRC) helps people in crisis, whoever and wherever they are. We are part of a global voluntary network, responding to conflicts, natural disasters and individual emergencies.
We enable vulnerable people in the UK and abroad to prepare for and withstand emergencies in their own communities. When the crisis is over, we help them to recover and move on with their lives.
The organisation operates through 33,000 volunteers and 2,800 staff. Geographically, the British Red Cross in the UK is organised into 21 areas, which are grouped into 4 territories.
Overall Purpose of the Post
The post holder will be a core part of the disaster management team, with particular responsibility for managing BRC resources in response to programming within areas of recovery. The scope and scale of responsibilities, whilst subject to change as programmes develop and close, potentially includes responsibility for delivering multi million pound programmes via the ICRC, Federation or bilaterally with BRC field offices which may involve up to 100+ expatriate and national staff. This includes the provision and management of funds, personnel and technical support and ultimate delivery of the programme objectives. The post holder will also be the first point of contact for key donors and will be expected to provide accurate and informed quantitative and qualitative reporting. The post holder will be required to make regular management and monitoring visits to BRC recovery programmes.
The post holder will be expected to work with other key members of staff to ensure enhanced BRC understanding and implementation of recovery programming.
The post holder will be expected to work together with others in BRC to ensure that operational learning is shared, that practice informs policy and communications and that the standards and principles to which the BRC is committed are upheld.
The operations manager (Recovery) may be expected to provide surge capacity to the disaster management team during the first phase of a response and to deputise for the Disaster Response Manager during any absences at the request of the Head of Department.
