Save the Children is the world's leading independent organisation for children. We work in 120 countries. We save children's lives; we fight for their rights; we help them fulfil their potential.
We work together, with our partners, to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.
In Guinea we are working hard to help those affected by the Ebola crisis. We're scaling up our community awareness, contact tracing and outreach activities, and as a result are now looking for suitably experienced candidates for the role of Roving Response Coordinator. The ability to speak and write in French is essential for this role.
We are interested in hearing from you if you have experience of working in a similar role in an emergency response, or if you have demonstrable experience of working in similarly complex countries or environments.
You'll be in country for 8 weeks at any given time with 2 weeks R&R after each rotation or at the end of your contract. You will also be offered a competitive salary package including full medical insurance, accommodation and other benefits.
We are looking for candidates who can be deployed either immediately or over the course of the coming months - we know that this will be a longer term response and as such our recruitment activity will continue. Please do include your availability on your cover letter, and don't forget to also submit your CV (both should be submitted as one document.)
Prior to deployment to the field, a period of paid training will be provided which includes relevant organisation inductions, security training and external training on Ebola risk management.
Please note: due to the critical nature of this recruitment, applications will be reviewed as they are received and successful candidates contacted on an on-going basis.
We need to keep children safe so our selection process reflects our commitment to the protection of children from abuse.
