The program  Australian Red Cross Emergency Services has been responding to emergencies and providing humanitarian assistance in Australia since 1914.  We are committed to strengthening and extending our emergency aid services to all Australians to prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies. The Summer 2019-2020 season is expected to be an intense and busy season for Australian Red Cross Emergency Services. To ensure our volunteer-led service has the capacity, capability, resources, systems, processes and operations to support people and communities across Victoria this Summer we’re recruiting for a number of Deputy Divisional Operations Officers. Working across your division, you will be committed to providing psychological first aid, Register-Find-Reunite, and Food-&-Water programs to people during emergency events. This may be in a relief or evacuation centre, or visiting homes and other locations. You will also have the opportunity to develop your skills through Red Cross Leadership and Personal Development training while building local relationships with community groups and organisations.

The opportunity   This role is an excellent opportunity to provide leadership support in a geographic division and make a significant contribution to the community with the key goal to save lives, build resilient communities and support people in disasters.   Over a three-year term, the Deputy Divisional Operations Officer supports relationships with VIC Emergency Services, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations, local councils, and other relevant agencies.  With continued support from Red Cross Emergency Services staff, the Deputy Divisional Operations Officer supports their Leadership Team to carry out core capabilities while ensuring that the Red Cross is represented on the local Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee.  The Deputy Divisional Operations Officer will step into the Divisional Operations Officer position as required.

The impact  Your support will help empower the division, and ensure your team members are engaged and ready to be activated during emergencies. For more information, please contact Andrew Flynn on 1800 232 969.
