Are you looking for a way to use your human resources or database skills to support the disasters that affect the Texas Gulf Coast? We have the volunteer opportunity for YOU!
Join us for Staff Services Overview - a 90 minute session dedicated to the work of those who support our disaster workforce during large scale disaster responses. We are a fun and positive team who love to make sure our workforce are safe and supported.
We typically work in the headquarters, volunteer intake centers, and even have virtual opportunities. Some of our volunteers take 2 week assignments or some pick up a few shifts a week, so we can accommodate a lot of varied availabilities.
The team breaks down in to specialty tracks focused on each aspect of "human resource" type needs. You could chose to specialize from one (or more) of the following:
- Staff Planning & Support: Checks in/out responders from the operation, manages the volunteer database ensuring work locations and supervisors are accurate, and ensuring everyone who works at least 7 days receives an evaluation
- Lodging: Takes care of responders coming from more than 50 miles away ensuring that they have a safe place to sleep
- Staff Ambassadors: Welcome visiting responders at locations such as airports and hotels. Create the "good hello" for the team. May take on additional check-in responsibilities
- Staff Relations: Help intervene when conflicts between responders arise on the relief operations
- Local Community Volunteers: Help connect local Red Cross volunteers to the relief operation for either 2 week assignments or single shifts
- Disaster Event Based Volunteers: Recruits and Engages brand new volunteers to support the disaster relief operation to ensure the needs of the community are met
