Employer: Care USA
Location: Syrian Arab Republic
Closing date: 03 Jan 2019
CARE is seeking a Safety and Security Manager who will responsible for maintaining oversight of safety and security policy and strategy, developing contextual analysis, building capacity within the Country Office and Hub office safety and security teams, and developing and implementing context appropriate CARE safety protocols and procedures across CARE’s field and program locations as they relate to CARE’S Syrian emergency response. This position is based in Amouda, North East Syria (NES), with a significant portion of time spent visiting field locations and providing support to CARE’s Emergency Response Team.
The position is detached from the Country Office to provide direct support to the Area Manager and the North East Syria Hub. The SSM (NES) will report to and be supported in this role by the Safety Security Manager (Syria), and CARE’s Safety and Security Unit (CSU) to assure oversight for hub operations inside Syria. The SSM (NES) will supervise the safety and security team in NES. The focus will be on a connected security strategy that coordinates with the Country Office located in Amman, Jordan.
Whilst supporting the overarching CSU mission objective – providing the safest possible working environments for CARE staff – the SSM (NES) will support the CARE’s work with staff, partners, communities and peers to enhance the capacity of the assigned Hub office, providing routine and timely analysis and incident reports to the Area Manager and SSM (Syria Country Office), deploying as needed in support of program teams, and developing local field protocols for the management of safety and security of the assigned programmatic hub.
All operational security matters will remain the responsibility of the supporting Country Offices (in which CARE Syria has established programmatic hub), and through them to the relevant CARE Lead Member.
Key to the success of this post will be the SSM (NES) ability to be able to effectively coordinate across the various stakeholders involved in the emergency response and provide support to the areas it is most needed. One of the key challenges in this operating environment is information; high-quality and timely analysis – complete with actionable advice and recommendations – is a core facet of this role. The post-holder is also expected to be able to solve problems at a local level and demonstrate the ability to produce effective strategies and provide technical advice.

Other responsibilities as assigned
Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree in political science, international relations, humanitarian/development work, security risk management or related field
