The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is a global humanitarian organisation helping people forced to flee.

Join us in assisting millions of people in areas where others cannot, tackling some of the world's most dangerous and difficult crises. Bring your skills and dedication to an organisation recognised for providing high quality aid and for defending the rights of refugees and internally displaced people.

At NRC, we give responsibility to employees at all levels and foster professional growth and innovative teams. You can expect a supportive culture and an open dialogue with management. We are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion.

Together, we save lives and rebuild futures.

Safeguarding is central to NRC’s work. We expect all employees to:

• treat everyone with respect and dignity

• contribute to building a safe environment for all

• never engage in any form of exploitation, harassment and specifically sexual exploitation, abuse and sexual harassment (SEAH)

• always report. NRC has a zero-tolerance approach to inaction against exploitation, abuse and SEAH

NORCAP works to improve aid to better protect and empower people affected by crisis and climate change. We do this by providing expertise and solutions to humanitarian, development and peacebuilding partners, because we believe working together is the best way to reduce needs, risks and vulnerability over time. We seek and promote more effective ways of working at the global level and in the field. NORCAP’s aim is not only to reduce needs, but also to create choice and opportunity for vulnerable people. NORCAP works with and through our partners to improve aid in two complementary ways:

• We provide targeted expertise to strengthen our partners’ response. • We collaborate with partners to develop solutions to un‑met gaps and challenges.

This assignment supports NORCAP’s commitment to strengthening coordinated, evidence-based protection responses through effective information management and partner collaboration.

NORCAP is supporting the Protection Cluster in Ukraine, led by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which plays a central role in coordinating protection and service delivery across humanitarian partners. The response focuses on ensuring safe access to services and strengthening referral pathways for people at heightened protection risk, including internally displaced people across the country.

The Assistant Information Management Officer will strengthen the Protection Cluster referral mechanism in Ukraine by improving the functionality and field application of the Service Advisor tool, enhancing service mapping, and supporting partners to deliver safe, timely referrals. Success in this role means better access to services for people affected by crisis, improved data use, and stronger coordination across partners.

This position is based in Kyiv, Ukraine, with travel to field locations, and is offered as a 6****‑****month assignment. The Assistant Information Management Officer will report to the Information Management Officer.

Ukrainian citizenship is required for this role.
