- Role and responsibilities
The purpose of a Protection from Violence Technical Officer position is to contribute with specific technical competences to project implementation. This position will normally not entail management responsibility of staff, but under certain circumstances the job may entail management responsibility for a very limited number of staffs at assistant level. These circumstances can either be related to a time-bound support or permanent but in scope limited administrative support. If supervision of technical or a wider range of staff is needed, the position of Team Leader is to be used.
In the usual norms, Protection from Violence (PfV) is a separate core competency (CC), however in the current context of Libya, PfV will be initiated under Information, counselling and legal assistance (ICLA) CC. This situation might change in the future.
The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an independent humanitarian organisation helping people forced to flee. We work in crises across more than 31 countries, providing emergencies and long-term assistance to millions of people every year. We stand up for people forced to flee, advocating their rights. NORCAP, our global provider of expertise, helps improve international and local ability to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from crises. NRC also runs the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre in Geneva, a global leader in reporting on and advocating for people displaced within their own country.
Employment with NRC may lead to employment in or deployment to Regions, Countries, Areas or Offices that may be host to considerable health, safety and security risks. NRC takes this very seriously and we have procedures in place to reduce known risks, but will never be able to take away all risks.
