Oxfam seeks solutions to the situations that cause poverty and suffering,
including responding to humanitarian emergencies. In part, this involves
seeking the effective implementation of the principles of humanitarian
protection as defined in international law. Oxfam now needs a Protection
Officer to develop this work in relation to asylum and refugee issues in the
UK and the European Union.
With a background in international refugee protection issues, you're keen to
make a difference to the lives of asylum seekers and refugees in the UK and
Europe. Drawing on Oxfam's global humanitarian work, you'll be able to use
Oxfam's insights about what causes people to flee their countries of origin
to develop high impact policy, advocacy and media work. You will have strong
analytical and communication skills, as well as an understanding of gender
and diversity issues. With your passion for social justice, you'll have the
determination to develop this new area of work, building and supporting
alliances both internally and externally.
