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. With the increasing frequency and severity of emergencies world-wide the organisation is in the process of increasing its capacity to support programmes in both sudden onset and chronic emergency situations. Emergency Response Personnel (ERP) staff play a key part in Save the Children in this strategy.

They are deployed overseas for medium-term assignments in various roles including:

· An emergency response where Save the Children is scaling up and we need immediate emergency expertise.

· Providing surge capacity to a country programme by either filling a vacant position and/or adding further skills and experience to country programmes.

· Capacity building of individuals and/or country programmes

Role Purpose: To produce and edit multimedia resources documenting, explaining and profiling Save the Children’s life-saving work in emergencies, for delivery across a range of platforms including online, DVD release, television broadcast and print media/products. This role involves travel up to 80% of the time.

With the increasing frequency and severity of emergencies world-wide we are now in position to recruit a Photo & Film Officer. The successful candidate will have experience of working in an emergency response context or a fragile state in addition to working in remote field bases with Iimited infrastructure. Please note this position is known internally as Multi-Media Officer.
