Full-Time Experienced (Non Manager) Jobs
The IRC:
Founded in 1933, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) is a global leader in providing emergency relief, rehabilitation, post conflict development, human rights protection, resettlement services and advocacy for refugees and others uprooted or affected by violent conflict and oppression. Over the past 17 years, the IRC has pioneered and implemented programs that prevent and respond to violence against women and children, as well as other vulnerable groups in refugee settings and in other conflict-affected contexts. IRC is one of the first humanitarian organisations to bring together specific expertise involved in violence prevention and response (VPR) in conflict affected settings to ensure collaborative and still specialized support to survivors and those at risk of violence. IRC presently implements VPR programs in over 26 countries, to support social and political environments that foster freedom from violence, discrimination, and exclusion for marginalized populations in contexts of crisis.
Background:
Building on a growing body of evidence – including IRC’s Cycles of Displacement report and other reports including The Only Way Is Up – in 2022, the IRC launched a flagship technical innovation project ‘TRANSFORM’ to develop mechanisms for humanitarian organizations to systematically embed diverse sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics (SOGIESC) considerations in conflict and displacement response. Through this BHA-funded project, the IRC is seeking to address the systemic reluctance/capacity issues holding back the humanitarian sector in a way that models a deep involvement of diverse SOGIESC CSOs and extends diverse SOGIESC inclusion across the humanitarian architecture. The TRANSFORM project will develop and socialize new approaches to advancing conversations and furthering commitments to diverse SOGIESC inclusion in the humanitarian sector and architecture.

Using Anonymous Recruitment
This organisation is using Anonymous Recruitment to reduce bias in the first stages of the hiring process. Our system keeps your personal information hidden until the recruiter contacts you.
Chapter2 is a young and growing charity that is uniquely focused on helping one of the most at-risk groups within our communities: fatherless boys. Millions of boys in the UK are growing up without any meaningful contact with their father and the consequences can be profound. Chapter2 is combatting this worsening trend across Reading by offering dedicated long-term male mentors for fatherless boys.
We have two mentoring programmes:
-
Partnership programme: The provision of trained and assessed mentors for young persons is achieved in partnership with a “Partner Organisation” such as a local church.
-
Centralised programme: The provision of trained and assessed mentors for young persons is achieved independently by Chapter2.
This role is an exciting opportunity to help grow our Centralised programme. This role is ideally suited to an outgoing self-starter who is comfortable working within an open and fast-moving environment.
The main purpose of the role is to recruit, train and supervise mentors. We are looking for a highly motivated individual whose personality, experience and skills are flexible and adept in navigating a range of responsibilities. We would consider either a part-time (minimum 3 days a week) or full-time position for this role.
As a charity with a Christian ethos, we want to bring our faith to the work we do and the men we work with. We are looking for someone with a deep-rooted Christian faith that plays a key role in their everyday life, seeking the guidance of the God’s will in all key decisions. Therefore, under the Equality Act 2010, this post has an occupational requirement to be a Christian.
