The opportunity to work in the steadily growing NRC mission of Bangladesh that has scaled up since inception in 2018 to respond to the Rohingya influx, and that has an increasingly growing portfolio and funding. NRC interventions are used to increase the acceptance of humanitarian assistance amongst Rohingya and Bangladeshi populations. Operations have included Shelter & Settlements, and Water, Sanitation, & Hygiene, responding to health and weather-related emergencies, ensuring education continuity through in-person and digital learning, and scaling-up information counselling for refugees and host Bangladeshis. In addition to the existing Rohingya refugee response, NRCโs integrated activities are addressing the impacts of displacement from climate change in Coxโs Bazar, in the North-East and South-West parts of Bangladesh. As of 2022, NRC is working to respond to severe floods in Sylhet. Bangladesh is one of the worldโs most disaster-prone countries while also hosting nearly 1 million Rohingya refugees. This is considered a protracted emergency in which displacement and recurrent climate disasters combine. Meaningful work that responds to the diverse needs, priorities, and concerns raised by beneficiary communities. The current context is set against a backdrop of continued conflict in Rakhine State, steady attenuation of humanitarian access, and political pressure to repatriate refugees. This is characterised by multiple localised emergencies adversely affecting communities and populations with low levels of resilience, high vulnerability, and acute poverty. Female candidates are strongly encouraged to join our work culture that empowers every employee to share ideas and take responsibility.
