This role does not require the right to work in the UK
We are looking for a Wash Manager to join our external roster and be responsible for all technical aspects supporting the WASH activities for an effective Basic Emergency Response including WASH facilities for Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD) treatment facilities and mobile clinics, primary health care and disease outbreak.
Save the Children’s origins lie in emergency response. The Emergency Health Unit (EHU) is an operational team deployed to support the Save the Children Humanitarian Health, Nutrition, HIV and WASH Strategy in providing and improving humanitarian responses. The EHU holds a pre-standing emergency health capacity to deploy in the event of a major disaster, diseases outbreak or conflict that affects population health and they will be set up within 72 hours of the disaster or identified emergency.
As a result of the ever changing landscape and the increased demand for specialist, rapidly deployable staff we are finding ourselves relying on various surge capacities more than ever. To ensure the successful deployment of the Emergency Health Unit (EHU) we are looking to build up our international external roster, to ensure it is made up of skilled, experienced specialists across multiple sectors who are rapidly deployable in the event of an emergency.
Being on the roster, you will only be deployed when gaps are identified in our responses and depending on the nature of the response, you may be deployed at short notice, often to insecure locations. The roster does not automatically translate to a paid role as it is dependent on the scale of our response and the availability of roster members. A deployment will be offered to members when needs arise and those with the right skillset and availability will be selected for deployment.
To become part of the external roster as an EHU Wash Manager you will have experience working within a senior management role within a complex country program in an emergency response including in first phase emergency response. As well as demonstrated monitoring and evaluation skills you will have experience managing a WASH team at national level, incuding national and international staff members. In addition you will have:
- Experience managing health care facility water, sanitation, wastewater and waste disposal systems
- The ability to work within both an advisory and a hands-on implementation capacity
- Experience preparing successful funding proposals for donors
- A proven capacity to supervise, train and coach staff in WASH technical skills
- Experience of WASH project management and programme coordination, implementing WASH programmme within donor constraints, on time and within budget.
At Save the Children we are committed to the safeguarding and protection of children in our work. We will do everything possible to ensure that only those who are suitable to work with children are recruited to work for us. This post is subject to a range of vetting checks including a criminal records disclosure.
