We are looking for a Doctor for our external roster to provide clinical care within an EHU module – cholera unit, mobile clinic or vaccination unit, providing technical leadership for the team and direct clinical care.
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.
Save the Children’s Emergency Health Unit is currently enlisting candidates for their humanitarian emergency roster to safeguard strong external health and operational support surge capacity when our emergency responses require it.

To become part of the external roster as a Doctor you will be a Medical Doctor, GP/ Emergency physician with previous experience of NGO work in public health humanitarian settings. Management experience supervising medical teams and experience in primary health care is also essential. In addition you will:
- Experience in primary health care, Acute Water Diarrheal management and immunization

- Experience of and commitment to working through systems of community participation and accountability
- Proven capacity to supervise, train and coach staff
- The capacity and willingness to be extremely flexible and accommodating in difficult and sometimes insecure working circumstances.
The roster does not automatically translate to a paid role as it is dependent on the scale of our response and the availability of the roster members. Deployments with Save the Children are paid, unless specifically identified as a volunteer role.
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.
