About the American Red Cross

By joining the American Red Cross, you will touch millions of lives every year and experience the greatness of the human spirit at its best. As the world's largest humanitarian network, we are a movement that matters, where success is measured in people helped, communities made whole, and individuals equipped to never stop changing lives and situations for the better.

Joining our team means becoming a vital part of a diverse, welcoming community of exceptional yet unassuming individuals. You will align your life’s work with an ongoing mission that is bigger than all of us, supported by mentors who empower your growth along a purposeful career path. We care for others while being cared for with competitive compensation and benefits, joining a community that respects who you are away from work as much as what you do while at work.

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 members typically deploy for 6 months at a time, approximately once every 18-24 months, and can be sent to any military base in the world. As a servant leader, you will support deployed military members through difficult and challenging issues, thriving on service and teamwork. You must be adaptable with the ability to manage through ambiguity, engaging others in problem-solving complex issues. Ideal candidates have a passion for supporting military members, possessing the physical stamina and emotional capacity to live and work alongside deployed military members in harsh climates and difficult environments.

Mobility and Deployment Requirements

Some positions are designated as “Mobile” and subject to unique job requirements. SAF Mobile Staff perform the same basic job responsibilities as non-mobile staff in regions. In addition to those responsibilities, this special workforce is required to deploy on short-term temporary assignments, serving alongside military members who are deployed to designated theaters of operations anywhere in the world.

Mobile staff must be ready to deploy whenever called upon. To maintain readiness, staff must:

  • Maintain all medical and security requirements.
  • Engage in an annual deployment familiarization program, including trainings and meetings.
  • When activated to deploy, participate in additional trainings and meetings to prepare for deployment.

Support both the day-to-day operations and emergency needs of the Hero Care Center as a member of the Hero Care Network Contingency Team. This includes completing all trainings and requirements to maintain casework proficiency, working shifts, and participating in readiness drills. You will respond to emergency, surge, and disaster situations as needed.

Equal Opportunity Employer

The American Red Cross is an Equal Opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, color, religion, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, age, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Qualified applicants with arrest or conviction records will be considered for employment in accordance with the Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance for Employers, San Diego Fair Chance Ordinance, the California Fair Chance Act, and any other applicable state and local laws.
