Logistics Skills Development Programme

The Logistics Skills Development Programme is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in international humanitarian programmes. The one year scheme is designed to enable participants to develop the necessary skills in order to launch a career in programme management in emergencies.

How does it work? As a trainee, you will undertake two 6 month placements. The first placement is a training placement where you will be based in the Save the Children HQ London office where you will get on the job training in various aspects of humanitarian operations programmes as well as completing 2 separate field based trainings. The second placement is a deployment placement where you will be based in the field in a Save the Children programme in an emergency or fragile state setting. You will train with humanitarian professionals who will act as your coaches to facilitate the development of the skills required for programme management work in emergencies.

Who are we looking for?
We are looking for talented people committed to long-term service in the humanitarian sector, who can demonstrate outstanding people skills and the motivation to develop humanitarian leadership & management skills. While this programme is aimed at candidates new to the sector with limited previous experience working in the international humanitarian/development sector, candidates need to demonstrate that they are committed to the humanitarian sector and have actively taken steps towards developing appropriate skills and experience necessary for working in the sector.
