Save the Children’s origins lie in emergency response and it has remained central to our work ever since our foundation in 1919. Our approach integrates our emergency and development work, through the medium of our country programmes, which we expect to have the expertise for both types of work. With the increasing frequency and severity of emergencies worldwide the organisation is in the process of increasing its standby capacity to support programmes.
Emergency Response Personnel (ERP) play a key part in the Save the Children UK strategy, by being deployed at short notice for medium-term assignments of approximately three months at a time, providing emergency expertise to help programmes respond. ERP’s generally spend 80% of their time on assignment.
Over the past few years, we have learned that, amongst other priorities, the rapid provision of high quality HR support in emergencies is central to us delivering on our Humanitarian strategy and vision for children. This role has been created to help meet this need.
