Working in more than 120 countries, we do whatever it takes to create breakthroughs in the way the world treats children.

• Provide a timely response to external and internal requests for information about the HTU.
• Submit staff expenses claims and invoices to accounts, and keep the deployment database up-to-date with travel and financial information.
To be successful you will have previous experience in a co-ordination / administrative role, an interest in or experience of humanitarian or public health work, a flexible approach and great interpersonal and communication skills. You will also have:
• The ability to work effectively as part of a team in a rapidly changing environment, and at times under extreme pressure.
• Great problem-solving skills, plenty of initiative, and proven organisational and time management skills.
• Excellent computer literacy, including confidence with Microsoft Office systems and electronic diaries.
• A background developing administrative systems, and tracking, monitoring and reporting on budgets.
• A commitment to support cross-organisational initiatives and team work planning.
At Save the Children our mission is to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives. If you share our mission, are passionate about making it happen and strongly believe you can contribute then join us and we'll give you every opportunity to succeed.
