Who we are

Working for the ICRC

The International Committee of the Red Cross recruits staff, trains them and develops their skills, so that the organization can call on a sufficient number of qualified personnel to support and conduct its operations. More than 1,600 people, both specialized staff and delegates, are currently on field missions for the ICRC across the globe. This work is backed up by some 10,000 local employees and supported and coordinated by around 900 staff at its Geneva headquarters.
