About The Position
Americares is a health-focused relief and development organization that saves lives and improves health for people affected by poverty or disaster. Each year, Americares reaches 85 countries on average, including the United States, with life-changing health programs, medicine, medical supplies, and emergency aid. Americares is one of the world's leading nonprofit providers of donated medicine and medical supplies. Americares maintains a Global Roster, which is comprised of experienced professionals all over the world who can be available for short-term emergency deployments. Roster members are generally deployed after an initial rapid assessment is conducted by Americares core staff, but on occasion we may ask roster members to deploy immediately. Selected candidates will have a minimum of 3 years of experience and will be required to complete a series of short online training courses on general safety and security and other topics. Deployments can last anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months depending on the needs of the response. Roster members are not compensated for time spent on training or other requirements. Competitive deployment compensation will be offered based on the candidate's skills and experience if a member is requested to deploy.
