  • Safety and Security Auditor

    Safety and Security Auditor

    POSITION SUMMARY
    As part of the 2016 review of how to best meet the global safety and security needs of the CARE International (CI) Membership and the subsequent establishment of the CI Safety & Security Coordination Group (CI SSCG), it was agreed that the CI SSCG would develop an audit program for safety and security across the CI membership to provide assurance and oversight for CARE’s Senior Leadership around CI Members duty of care and the safety and security commitments and requirements stated in the CI Code. It was also agreed that the CI SSCG should design a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) to support a standard approach to the audit and enable a uniform set of benchmarks to be tracked and reported against. For this purpose, an external company (Safer Edge) was selected as the service provider to conduct the external audits. The CI Safety & Security Coordination Group (CI SSCG) decided at the end of 2023 to hire an internal resource to work in parallel and do some KPI audits and evaluate CARE CI’s capacity to undertake all KPI audits in 2025.

The KPIs will address systems, processes, protocols, training, documents, budgets, and other components of safety and security management that enable staff security and resilient programming across CI’s diverse operational portfolio. As the KPIs link directly to the CI Safety and Security Standards and Principles, they enable a high-level look at how well the CI membership is doing in adhering to these foundational safety and security commitments.
