Save the Children UK are looking for experienced technical advisers to join the growing Humanitarian Food Security and Livelihoods (HFSL) team.

The development of operational support (finance and logistics), and joint operating procedures enables a greater focus on technical quality and innovation. New positions in cash operations management have been developed to support the implementation of CTPs from the initial feasibility and risk assessment stage, to the selection and implementation of a delivery mechanism and distribution process. Working together with the operations colleagues on CTP forms a critical part of the implementation and design focus for the HFSL team.
