Employer:Save the Children
Location:Monrovia, Liberia
Closing date January 4, 2015
Save the Children is the world’s leading independent organisation for children. They work in 120 countries. They save children’s lives; they fight for their rights; they help them fulfil their potential.They work together, with their partners, to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.

In Liberia they are working hard to help those affected by the Ebola crisis. They’re scaling up our community awareness, contact tracing and outreach activities, and as a result are now looking for suitably experienced candidates for the role of Security Manager.

The Role:
They are interested in hearing from you if you have experience of working in a similar role in an emergency response, or if you have demonstrable experience of working in similarly complex countries or environments. The Security Manager will be in country for 8 weeks at any given time with 2 weeks R&R after each rotation or at the end of your contract. The Security Manager will also be offered a competitive salary package including full medical insurance, accommodation and other benefits.
They are looking for candidates who can be deployed either immediately or over the course of the coming months – they know that this will be a longer term response and as such their recruitment activity will continue. Please do include your availability on your cover letter, and don’t forget to also submit your CV (both should be submitted as one document.)
Prior to deployment to the field, a period of paid training will be provided which includes relevant organisation inductions, security training and external training on Ebola risk management.
Please note: due to the critical nature of this recruitment, applications will be reviewed as they are received and successful candidates contacted on an on-going basis.
