About the role
This interview examines how you enable humanitarian work while managing threats, uncertainty and duty of care. The panel is looking for balanced risk analysis, principled access judgement, disciplined incident response and communication that field colleagues can act on.
How to prepare
- Prepare a risk assessment example that separates threats, exposure, vulnerabilities and practical controls.
- Review a movement incident and be clear about your information checks, escalation and documentation.
- Choose an access negotiation example where pressure could have compromised impartial delivery or staff safety.
- Practise giving a short security briefing with clear actions rather than a long list of threats.
Common mistakes
- Presenting security as a reason to stop activity without considering feasible risk controls.
- Relying on a single source for changing threat information.
- Making access commitments that compromise impartiality, safeguarding or organisational authority.
