Expert Application Advice
What this role involves
You will lead protection activities for refugees and host communities in Arua, coordinating case management, community-based support, and referrals. Daily tasks include identifying vulnerable individuals, monitoring protection risks, and ensuring survivors of violence access timely services. This is a field-heavy role requiring regular travel to settlements and close work with local partners.
Key skills to highlight
Strong knowledge of protection principles (GBV, child protection, PSS) and experience with UNHCR or NGO case management systems. Demonstrated ability to train community volunteers, conduct rapid assessments, and write concise reports in English. Fluency in Lugbara or Kakwa is a major plus for community trust.
Taf4All CV tip
List a specific protection project you led, e.g., “Managed 120+ GBV cases in Bidibidi settlement, achieving 95% referral completion.” Use metrics to show scale and impact, not just duties. Add a line on your familiarity with Uganda’s Refugee Act or Protection Policy.
Before you apply
IRC never asks for payment or personal bank details during recruitment. Verify the vacancy on IRC’s official careers page or their Uganda country office site. If contacted via WhatsApp or asked for money, report immediately.
🎯 Make your application ATS-ready
ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

- •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
- •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
- •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
- •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
- •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
- •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
