Save the Children has launched recruitment for an Emergency Nutrition Advisor for the West and Central Africa (WCA) Region.
In line with a new Humanitarian Health, Nutrition, HIV and WASH strategy for 2014-2015, Save the Children is significantly scaling up our frontline health & nutrition capacity so that many more children’s lives can be saved in new emergencies and in chronic emergency contexts. The Emergency Nutrition Advisor will support country programs to design and deliver high quality humanitarian nutrition programs, including supporting emergency preparedness and capacity building and providing surge and desk support for new emergency nutrition programs in the West and Central Africa (WCA) region. The Emergency Nutrition Advisor for WCA will work collaboratively with regional and head office nutrition advisors from SCUS, SCUK, and/or other Save the Children members, ensuring that our emergency response work, preparedness and capacity building links closely with our longer-term development and chronic humanitarian nutrition programming. They will also ensure that communication and support to country programs and external representation is closely coordinated. The ideal candidate will be fluent in French with experience in WCA. Save the Children is open to negotiate a remote work location but has a preference for a base in WCA.
