Be a Hero working from home! Red Cross volunteer Duty Officers Needed! (virtual)

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: American Red Cross - South Florida Region

Most of the 60,000 emergencies that the Red Cross responds to each year are local, small scale disasters like home fires. Disaster Action Teams (DAT) are dispatched to the scene to provide support to help families begin the process of recovery. However, Red Cross volunteer Duty Officers are the inital point of contact for every local disaster response where Red Cross immediate assistance is needed.

As an on-call Duty Officer you will receive calls from local emergency organizations such as fire departments and will then dispatch on-call Red Cross DAT volunteers to assist those in need. You will help ensure the timely activation and monitoring of local and regional DAT responses and support assigned Red Cross responders thru on-going communications.

*This is a remote role with no in-person reporting requirements during your shifts. Qualifications include:

  1. Must be willing to accept 8-10 on-call, 6 hour shifts per month.
  2. You must have a reliable computer and internet and phone service, must have excellent communication and listening skills, and be detailed oriented.
  3. Compassion, patience and good problem solving skills are important for this role.
  4. Must be 18+ years old.
  5. All new volunteer application steps and initial training must be completed before shift assignments will begin.

Will you help us help families when they need us most!
