The British Red Cross 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. And when the crisis is over, we help them to recover and move on with their lives.
The Role Following the Haiti earthquake of January 2010, under the co-ordination framework of the International Federation of Red Cross/Crescent Societies (IFRC), the British Red Cross Society (BRCS) has established a programme to assist affected communities to recover from the disaster.
The BRCS programme activities focus around an integrated community approach to urban neighbourhood recovery, including risk reduction and improving community resilience through sustainable livelihoods, safe housing, public health improvements and infrastructure repairs and regeneration.
The programme focuses on earthquake affected urban neighbourhood in Delmas Port-au-Prince, and is expected to last until September 2014.
The Finance & Administration Manager will be responsible for all aspects of financial management relating to the Haiti programme, with key objectives including:
  1. To ensure compliance with BRCS financial policies and procedures, guaranteeing finance and administration controls are robust and yet flexible enough to meet the requirements of programmes.
  2. To contribute to the overall achievement of the programme goals by supporting and advising senior management in all finance related activities.
  3. To actively lead, motivate and support the finance and administration team, ensuring that it is run efficiently and effectively
  4. To oversee the close-down of the programme from a finance and administration perspective.
