The Save the Children Fund, commonly known as Save the Children, is an international non-governmental organization that promotes children's rights, provides relief and helps support children in developing countries
ROLE PURPOSE:
As part of our humanitarian ambition and 2030 global strategy, Save the Children has implemented the Global Expertise Humanitarian Surge Platform (GEHSP) to further improve the efficient deployment of high-quality surge staff to support the delivery of our Humanitarian Responses directly and in collaboration with SCI partners. This role will be rapidly deployed by the GEHSP to support the implementation of the response team activities in quickly developing humanitarian-responses.
The Emergency Health Unit (EHU) was established in 2015 as a dedicated humanitarian operational capability within Save the Children (SC). It consists of experienced multidisciplinary and operational technical teams that are internationally mobile and who can provide timely, high quality health interventions in some of the hardest places to work, where the needs for children are the greatest.
In 2018, the EHU developed a dedicated field hospital capability in recognition of the unmet needs by actors delivering secondary and primary level care during humanitarian responses. The focus of the field hospital is on the provision of specialist Maternal, New-born and Child Health care, which complements their already pre-existing primary health care capability. The field hospital can provide inpatient care for mothers, newborns, and children, with a specialist emergency obstetric surgical capability, alongside emergency and outpatient care (more information the EHU Field Hospital see here).
The post holder must be willing to deploy at short notice (< 72 hrs) for up to 12 weeks at a time
