Elizabeth, United States International Rescue Committee Full time

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises, helping to restore health, safety, education, economic wellbeing, and power to people devastated by conflict and disaster. Founded in 1933 at the call of Albert Einstein, the IRC is one of the world's largest international humanitarian non-governmental organizations (INGO), at work in more than 50 countries and more than 25 U.S. cities helping people to survive, reclaim control of their future and strengthen their communities. A force for humanity, IRC employees deliver lasting impact by restoring safety, dignity and hope to millions. If you're a solutions-driven, passionate change-maker, come join us in positively impacting the lives of millions of people world-wide for a better future.

BACKGROUND: International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. At work in more than 40 countries and over 20 U.S. cities, the IRC provides resettlement, education and empowerment support to refugees and displaced people. Oftentimes upon arrival and throughout their first few years, our clients face barriers limiting access to services and medical care. The Intensive Case Management program works one-on-one with clients to assess their needs and coordinate services accordingly.

SCOPE OF WORK for Non-BSW/MSW Interns: The ICM Intern collaborates closely with the ICM supervisor to evaluate resource gaps for clients and establishes community connections to enhance support for refugee and displaced individuals with severe physical or mental health conditions, the elderly, LGBTQ+ clients, single-headed households, and victims of sexual assault and gender-based violence participating in the Intensive Case Management (ICM) or Supplemental Case Management (SCM) programs. Additionally, ICM Interns assist ICM caseworkers in various in-person, client- centered tasks.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Maintain constant contact with ICM Supervisor and ICM Caseworkers for assignments.

  • Assess resource gaps and develop community connections as needed.

  • Revise existing resource sheets to guarantee accuracy and currency, including verifying information by phone calls or in-person to confirm details.

  • Organize community resource information by risk domain for effective accessibility.

  • Assist with fulfilling in-person duties, including but not limited to donation drop-offs, accompanying clients to medical or social service appointments, transportation orientations, networking, and conducting home visits.

  • Educate clients on the U.S. healthcare and benefits systems.

  • Keep thorough and accurate case file documentation in IRC's database as needed.

  • Communicate client concerns and potential challenges to ICM caseworkers.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  1. Acquire a thorough understanding of the U.S refugee resettlement process and services available to clients resettled by the IRC.

  1. Develop essential skills in identifying clients' needs, efficiently coordinating medical care, social services support, and establishing connections to vital supportive services within the community.

  1. Hone expertise in conducting wellness assessments at designated intervals post ICM/ SCM enrollment and maintain comprehensive case file documentation of all direct services rendered.


Minimum Qualifications:

Eligibility Requirements: To be eligible to apply, applicants must meet the following criteria:

  • Current NJ undergraduate student

  • Current NJ Graduate student

  • Recent NJ College Graduate: must have graduated less than one year prior to start of the internship experience

  • A current undergraduate student who is a permanent NJ resident-these candidates will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis for eligibility and there will be a limited amount of funding allotted for students meeting this criteria.

  • Selected interns are required to serve for 10 weeks between May to August 2024



Standard of Professional Conduct:The IRC and the IRC workers must adhere to the values and principles outlined in the IRC Way - our Code of Conduct. These are Integrity, Service, Accountability, and Equality.

Commitment to Gender, Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion: The IRC is committed to creating a diverse, inclusive, respectful, and safe work environment where all persons are treated fairly, with dignity and respect. The IRC expressly prohibits and will not tolerate discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or bullying of the IRC persons in any work setting. We aim to increase the representation of women, people that are from country and communities we serve, and people who identify as races and ethnicities that are under-represented in global power structures.
