Being a member

Among the things the DRC Stand-by Roster offers its members:

  • Deployments to UN operations that matches your personal professional profile
  • Professional development through trainings offered by DRC or the UN agencies
  • A challenging work environment within the humanitarian field
  • Information materials as handbooks and CD-Roms

Being a member of the DRC Stand-by Roster also implies accepting the following obligations:

  • The member has an obligation to always inform the DRC Stand-by Roster unit of changes in contact details and availability. Hence, any longer periods of unavailability should be shared with the DRC Stand-by Roster.
  • All members must reconfirm their membership of the DRC Stand-by Roster every six months. This is due to the requirements in the Danish Data Registration Act, which stipulates that CVs can only be filed for a period of six months.
  • By accepting membership, one allows the DRC Stand-by Roster unit to forward P11 or CV to UN organisations at any time in relation to relevant positions without prior confirmation.

The DRC Stand-by Roster member also has to meet the following conditions:

  • Participation in the DRC Stand-by Roster Induction Training (hosted twice a year)
  • At least one positive response to a request for deployment within a two year period (whether or not the member was subsequently deployed)
  • Accumulated at least three months in total of confirmed availability within a two year period
  • Qualifications continuously match the demands of our UN partners for secondees
  • Satisfactory performance during deployment
  • Satisfactory completion of any training signed up for through the DRC Stand-by Roster

Based on the above the DRC Stand-by Roster has the right to exclude a member from the DRC Stand-by Roster.
