We are looking for Nutrition in emergency - Senior program manager for our external roster who can be rapidly deployed to undertake management and implementation of nutrition in emergency programming to ensure timely and quality delivery of program activities, when the need arises and the capacity of the current team is exceeded.

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.

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.
