Are you an experienced e-learning instructional designer, curious about learning in the humanitarian sector and with a special interest in data responsibility; and with special attention to the learning needs, circumstances surrounding the humanitarian learning environment, and cognisant of the constraints in designing and delivering e-learning? NRC is looking for you!
In collaboration with the Data Responsibility Lead, you will be responsible for translating content into learning modules, predominantly digital ones, and delivering global learning and development products, which can be translated into multiple languages.
Background
NRC has identified the need to establish a Data Responsibility practice across its programme teams delivering aid. As per the UN OCHA definition, data responsibility in humanitarian action is the safe, ethical and effective management of personal and nonpersonal data for operational response (OCHA 2021). The intention is to work across different elements such as data protection, information security, ethics, risk and compliance and programme design to create practical guidance for field teams to identify risks inherent in using digital solutions and mitigating these in several ways, including design, minimisation, avoidance, technical, etc. Ultimately success will be measured in the ability to raise awareness amongst NRC’s thousands of field workers and enable a responsible approach to data processing. Furthermore, as NRC intends to contribute to sector change, whatever is produced will be made available to other humanitarian actors and networks.
