    Disaster Response Coordinator

    At the Netherlands Red Cross, we are committed to strengthening the resilience of vulnerable communities worldwide. We respond to disasters and conflicts to save lives and alleviate suffering. In the Netherlands we achieve this with a team of more than thirty thousand volunteers and internationally through providing technical assistance, supplies and money. Together we act before, during and after disasters to meet humanitarian needs and improve lives.

    We do this without regards to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinion. Our guide our humanitarian work: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity and universality.

    We value diversity — in backgrounds and experiences. We welcome people from all cultural backgrounds, religions, gender identities, sexual orientations and age groups. Our diverse team member's perspectives are key to our success and help us build the future of our work in the humanitarian sector

    Are you passionate about making a difference in the world? The Netherlands Red Cross (NLRC) invites you to be part of our dynamic team. As Disaster Response Coordinator, you will play a pivotal role in analysing needs emerging from emergencies and crisis, managing funds and recommending financial contributions, assessing technical support needs to the operations we support globally, and liaising with partners of the Red Cross Red Crescent (RCRC) network, and other external and internal stakeholders to ensure timely and effective responses to disaster appeals.

    Disaster Response Coordinator

    The Hague, 32-40 hours p/w

    The Disaster Response Unit (DRU) is responsible for managing funding for international contributions to emergencies and crises, mobilising technical experts through the Rapid Response Roster, and providing system support for long term disaster management mechanisms to the international operations of the Red Cross Red Crescent (RCRC) movement around the world.

  • Managing NLRC financial contributions within your portfolio. This includes internal coordination, communication with the country teams, RCRC partners, preparation, and finalising of funding agreements, and ensuring that admin processes followed are compliant with the NLRCs internal systems and external audit requirements.
  • As well as external communication with donors, ensure donors' requirements and conditions are communicated and well understood by the implementing partner and properly reflected within funding agreements.
  • Monitoring the financial contributions, and ensuring reporting is timely and according to donor requirements.
  • External stakeholder coordination

  • The DRC plays a key role as focal point, and is the main responsible for multilateral operations in the regions maintaining an overview of the emergency, providing adequate updates of the situation to relevant stakeholders (NL authorities, diaspora, other interest groups).

  • The DRC liaises with the regional office of the IFRC and with other RCRC movement partners, on the development of regional disaster management capacity and systems support of the NLRC. This support can be through financial contributions and/or HR mobilisation.
  • Internal Stakeholders coordination

  • In case a bilateral partner requests support, the DRC coordinates with the country team and technical units of the NLRC and advises how the bilateral emergency operations of NLRC can best be supported.
  • On a daily basis the DRC liaises and works closely with other DRU team members, and is the focal point for communications, public affairs, and marketing and fundraising departments on emergency response operations in Asia Pacific and Europe regions.
  • The DRC plays a key role as disaster response advisor of the regions and its protracted crisis files (Afghanistan, Myanmar, and Ukraine).
  • Fundraising Campaign coordination

  • The NLRC is contributing to the international operations of RCRC through campaign funding, strategically launched or ad hoc when needed. As a focal point you participate in the regular internal communications, press and fundraising meetings to provide relevant information and update on the disaster response. This information is relevant for the decision making process for a go or no-go of the campaign, fact checking of public messages and is used to clarify (acute) questions received from general public, journalists, or donors.
