Job Vacancy at Oxfam

Our Oxfam registers are set up to assist regions to respond to resourcing requests for Humanitarian Professionals within 3 working days, by creating and maintaining an appropriate pool of suitable candidates.

Each register member has been interviewed and reference checked by their respective Technical team and has agreed that should a suitable short-term deployment arise, they will work for OGB on a fixed term basis at short notice.

This is an opportunity to be involved in immediate deployment in the first phase of an emergency stage, to assess the situation and subsequently implement public health engineering solutions appropriate to the context to provide life saving water and sanitation measures in accordance with international standards to alleviate the plight of the people affected by the emergency. Support may continue thereafter until the situation is stabilised and/or to strengthen capacities, systems and resources on the ground to be more prepared for either scaling up or future shocks.
