- An exciting opportunity to join the only international humanitarian and development organisation dedicated to older people
APPLICANTS MUST HAVE THE EXISTING RIGHT TO WORK IN THE COUNTRY THEY INTEND TO WORK FROM
Older people are some of the most
vulnerable people in conflicts and disaster contexts. As population
ageing transforms developing as well as developed countries, more and
more older people are affected by humanitarian crises. This is an
exciting opportunity to join HelpAge International, the only
international humanitarian and development organisation dedicated to
older people, to ensure older people receive the healthcare and
nutrition support they need in humanitarian crises.
HelpAge
International is a global network of not-for-profit organisations with a
vision of a world where older people fulfill their potential to lead
active, dignified, healthy and secure lives. With over 114 affiliates
and 300 partners across more than 50 countries the HelpAge network
brings together hundreds of organisations worldwide.
By providing strategic direction,
leadership and coordination to our humanitarian health programmes and
policy work, you will help to make the international humanitarian
ecosystem more inclusive of older people and more principled and
impartial in its response to the most vulnerable.
The ideal candidate will be passionate
about ensuring humanitarian assistance reaches the most vulnerable. You
will have a higher degree or postgraduate qualification in health. You
will be experienced in developing and implementing health and nutrition
programmes in low-middle income and fragile settings and in providing
technical advice and support to programme teams. You will be able and
willing to travel approximately 100 days a year, sometimes at short
notice.
In your covering letter, please:
- State which location you would be based in
- Confirm that you already have the right to work in that country
