ICRC language tests

What to expect: Working for the International Committee of the Red Cross is all about people, and working with people means communication. Our staff generally need to know how to communicate in more than one language, regardless of the position they apply for. In this short film, we explain what language skills we look for in candidates. We describe what our tests are like and how to prepare for them – and what to do if you’re not successful first time.

ICRC medical standards

All new employees to the ICRC must submit to a medical examination. The ICRC Senior Medical Advisor recommends that certain medical conditions (cardiac diseases, respiratory diseases, severe allergies, mental health issues, severe obesity, severe immuno-suppression, for example) are considered with special attention. Indeed, in most contexts where the ICRC operates, necessary medical care may not be available, access to health care may be very limited or absent, and deployment in these conditions could endanger the lives of staff with these medical problems.
