Expert Application Advice

What this role involves
You will lead protection activities for refugees and vulnerable populations in Kyegegwa, coordinating case management, community outreach, and risk assessments. Your days will involve supervising field teams, ensuring compliance with humanitarian standards, and liaising with local authorities and partners to address protection gaps.

Key skills to highlight
Demonstrate expertise in refugee protection frameworks (e.g., UNHCR guidelines), case management, and GBV or child protection. Show proven ability to manage teams in remote or conflict-affected settings, plus strong report-writing and data analysis skills. Fluency in English and a local language like Runyankole or Swahili is a major plus.

Taf4All CV tip
Replace generic "protection experience" with a specific example: e.g., "Led a team of 10 community workers to identify and refer 200+ at-risk individuals in Kyaka II settlement." Quantify results and mention any training you conducted on survivor-centered approaches.

Before you apply
IRC never charges fees for applications or interviews. Verify this listing via IRC’s official careers page. Never share bank details or pay for “visa processing” — report any suspicious requests to Taf4All immediately.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

  • 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.
