Logistics Manager- H/F At Croix-Rouge Française

Présentation de la Croix-Rouge

Context
A major player in the social and solidarity economy, the French Red Cross runs a network of more than 600 establishments and services in the health, medical and social sectors and in training. It also runs 12 regional health and social training institutes.

Internationally, the FRC is active in 16 countries alongside National Societies and 2 regional platforms (PIRAC and PIROI), on the following themes Health and Disaster Risk Management.
In the same way as in the activities that it develops and implements in France, the French Red Cross at the international level includes all its missions in a sustainable humanitarian action plan.
This means that emergency, post-emergency, post-crisis and reconstruction activities are coordinated in order to be as effective as possible. The aim is to carry out actions with lasting effects and to enable the population to regain their full autonomy.
Our association also wants to strengthen its presence and the promotion of its priority commitments within the International Movement.

Romania, as a neighboring country to Ukraine, is impacted by the conflict that began in February 2022, particularly through the flow of people in exile passing through or stopping in Romania. In this context, cooperation has been set up between the French Red Cross and the Romanian Red Cross, with the ambition of supporting the assistance provided by the RRC to fleeing people and strengthening its capabilities (headquarters and branches) in the medium and long term. This cooperation is further strengthened by the fact that the FRC has opened a delegation in Bucharest. The FRC is currently running two projects in partnership with the RRC: Improving overall health of host communities and people fleeing Ukraine through a better access to healthcare (Mobile clinic and health centers); and developing the First Aid Department of the Romanian Red Cross.
The Logistics Manager will be based in Bucharest within the Romanian Red Cross HQ.
By joining us, you will share our commitment and ethics and develop your skills.
