About the Role

The American Red Cross is currently seeking a Mobile SAF-IS Regional Program Specialist to support the Service to Armed Forces and International Services Division mission. This position is regional, but also part of our mobile staff which requires meeting strict medical and security clearances prior to employment. In this role, worldwide deployment is a condition of employment.

Mobile staff must be ready to deploy whenever called upon, and to do so are required to meet and maintain specific medical and other readiness requirements. Requirements unique to mobile positions include:

U.S. citizenship is required. Must be able to obtain a secret security clearance and a no-fee U.S. passport.

Must accept work assignments anywhere in the world, including conflict areas, where the American Red Cross is providing services to members of the military and their families.

Must meet strict medical and physical requirements, including immunizations required by the U.S. military.

May be required to wear military uniforms, and live and work in harsh and stressful environments in conflict areas.

Periodically accompanies the military on deployments.

To maintain readiness, staff must maintain all medical and security requirements, engage in an annual deployment familiarization program to include trainings and meetings, and participate in additional trainings and meetings when activated to deploy.
