Training and Capacity Building Manager (maternity cover)

Are you an experienced adult educator with experience of working in low resource environments?

UK-Med is a humanitarian charity that has been responding to disasters for thirty years.  We train medical teams, both in the UK and worldwide, so they are ready to respond when epidemics, conflict and natural disasters hit.  When Ebola struck West Africa in 2014 we recruited and trained UK doctors and nurses who helped local medical teams and other NGOs to bring the outbreak under control.  We are core partners, providing the clinical component and recruiting and training clinicians for the UK Emergency Medical Team (UK EMT) in line with WHO standards. We are seeking an experienced trainer / adult-educator to join us to cover maternity leave for our Training & Capacity Building Manager to make a significant contribution to the success of our ambitious strategic plan.

As Training & Capacity Building Manager, you will lead the development and delivery of a programme of training to prepare clinicians for joining humanitarian health responses overseas, and support our work working in partnership with national health systems to build their capacity.

We offer a competitive salary and benefits along with a friendly working environment and the opportunity to make a real difference through humanitarian work.
