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.
By joining us, you will share our commitment and ethics and develop your skills.
Working environment:
The French Red Cross opened a delegation in Occupied Palestinian Territories in 2022, thanks to a 5-year project funded by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD).
The FRC Delegation supports the strategic and programmatic development of Ibn Sina College of Health Sciences in Nablus, Occupied Palestinian Territories, through the redesign of the curriculum to adapt it to international LMD standards, as well as digitalization, modernization of simulations labs and creation of a continuous training center, a research Lab and PGI action plan. The French Red Cross works in collaboration with the University of Montreal, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and the Palestinian Ministries of Higher Education and Health.
Located in the West Bank, Ibn Sina College currently welcomes 300 students and has the ambition to become a " leading college in nursing and midwifery, both locally and internationally, adopting the principles of lifelong learning for its students and health personnel, through curricula based on competencies, skills and practises based on scientific evidence ". Another component of the project includes the construction of a new school to welcome Ibn Sina College students; this part is managed by AFD directly.
Furthermore, the French Red Cross (FRC) delegation is closely working with the PRCS to develop projects aiming to support their activities in the fields of pre-hospital care and first aid services in the West Bank and recently secured funds from the CDCS. The PRCS is the lead Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provider in Occupied Palestinian Territories, both in Gaza and in the West Bank, and as such, it provides support to people in need through its fleet of ambulances, training of EMS staff for appropriate pre-hospital care response and activities at community level.
