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 response to the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone, Save the Children is working with the UK government to set up a Treatment Centre which will enable us to undertake case management and provide support to some of those affected. As part of this we are looking for a number of clinical staff, to provide expertise and support:

  • Medical Team Leader
  • Doctors with infectious disease experience
  • Nurses with infectious disease experience
  • Health Information Manager
  • Outreach Manager
  • Pharmacist

Prior to deployment to the field, a period of paid training will be provided which includes relevant organisation inductions and security training, external training on Ebola risk management (hygiene protocols; use of PPE etc).

Deployments will be for a minimum of 4 weeks (but may be up to 6 months) and successful candidates will be offered a competitive salary package including medical insurance, accommodation and other benefits

We are interested in hearing from you if you have experience of working in a humanitarian situation or have worked in an international development environment (please outline this in your cover letter).

To apply, please send a covering letter along with up-to-date CV to the link provided, including the period of time you would be available for.

Please note: due to the nature of this recruitment, applications will be reviewed as they are received and suitable candidates contacted on an on-going basis, as we build a roster to support the treatment centre over the coming months.

We need to keep children safe so our selection process reflects our commitment to the protection of children from abuse.
