at RED NOSES Clowndoctors International

๐Ÿข About RED NOSES Clowndoctors International

RED NOSES International is a unique non-profit that uses healthcare clowning to bring joy and emotional support to vulnerable communities worldwide. Working here means contributing to a creative, compassionate mission that spans 11 countries and crisis zones, with a strong emphasis on social inclusion and empowerment.

About This Role

This role leads the organization's first group-wide DEI Assessment, designing and implementing a mixed-methods evaluation across diverse cultural contexts in Europe, Jordan, and Palestine. You will shape RED NOSES' DEI strategy for 2027โ€“2030, directly influencing how the organization fosters equity and inclusion in its clowning programs and internal operations.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a video call with the DEI Advisory Panel to discuss interview protocols, followed by analyzing survey data from three country offices. After lunch, you'd facilitate a focus group with clowns and staff via Zoom, then draft a section of the DEI Assessment Report, incorporating trauma-informed feedback from the morning session.

โš ๏ธ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Avoid jargon-heavy language without showing practical application; the organization values empathy and creativity.
  • Don't overlook the remote, multi-country natureโ€”failing to address logistics of time zones, languages, and cultural nuances will seem naive.
