Emergency Response Personnel Livelihoods Officer

Save the Children UK

Save the Children’s origins lie in emergency response and it has remained central to our work ever since. 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.

Part of this process was the creation of the Emergencies Section in 1999. Emergency Response Personnel (ERP) play a key part in the Save the Children UK emergencies 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 70% to 80% of their time on assignment.

Save the Children has an established global reputation in the area of food security and livelihoods assessments in emergencies for the purposes of early warning, design and targeting of cash, food aid and other emergency/ recovery responses and the evaluation of such programmes. This work is carried out either for Save the Children UK country programmes, or as technical support to other agencies and governmental bodies.
