Jobs @ Concern
Concern has a staff Code of Conduct and Programme Participant Protection Policy to ensure the maximum protection of programme participants from exploitation.
Concern receives a substantial amount of funding from external donors each year. Increasingly, donors are introducing requirements whereby future funding is conditional on Concern ensuring that the names of any new employee or volunteer do not appear on terrorism lists generated by the following:
- European Union (list of person, groups and entities to which regulation EC number 2580/2001 applies)
- US government (Office of Foreign Assets Control list of specially designated nationals and blocked persons)
- United Nations (consolidated list)
As a result, Concern will not make any offer of employment until a clearance check has been carried out to ensure that the name of a potential employee or volunteer does not appear on any of the aforementioned lists. Where the name of a potential new employee or volunteer does appear on such a list, Concern will not proceed with the recruitment of such person. By submitting a formal application for paid or voluntary employment to Concern, you agree to Concern carrying out a clearance check as outlined above and that Concern will not proceed to recruit you should your name appear on any of the aforementioned lists.
