Where you come in:
As the HST WASH Advisor you will generally be deployed to the field in a complex, large-scale emergency. On occasion you may also be asked to gap fill a senior WASH technical advisory role in a chronic humanitarian country program or carry out short-term assessments. You will be expected to lead on sectoral assessment, program design and master budgeting, coordination, and support fundraising, recruitment and capacity building. In between deployments, you may be asked to work on various WASH issues from home, such as developing lessons learned documents based on deployments or supporting Save the Children's global technical working groups.
In addition, you will provide recommendations for integrating WASH work with other sectors like Education, Child Protection and Health. You will be expected to lead on sectoral assessment, program design and master budgeting, coordination, and support fundraising, recruitment and capacity building.
If we could compose the perfect you
You have significant experience working in emergency response contexts or fragile states, including previous first phase emergency response experience. You have direct experience in providing technical advice to WASH strategies and are passionate about proactively promoting high quality WASH interventions within country programs. Your technical knowledge will be coupled with experience in managing and building the capacity of a team of international and national staff and providing program management/technical support across multiple locations.
You will be willing to travel for up to 70% of the year, with deployment lengths of up to 3 months. You will be available and ready to be deployed anywhere in the world at short notice. You will normally work unusual hours and will often working in stressful and insecure environments.
Working at Save the Children is more than just a job.

You will be rewarded by the opportunity to work for an organisation which will invest in your professional development and career aspirations: you will be eligible to apply for a place on the Humanitarian Leadership Program (www.humanitarianleaders.org) and Save the Children Technical Training Programs which Save the Children Australia will fund, in line with our training policy.
