Finn Church Aid Humanitarian Roster – applications now accepted

Are you an expert of humanitarian aid, development cooperation or program management - and available for short-time assignments in disaster areas around the world? Or are you a specialist in education, construction, logistics or livelihood, and interested to use your professional skills in humanitarian work?

The above are examples of the various professional skills which are needed in the Finn Church Aid (FCA) Humanitarian Roster. Applications are now accepted to Roster Basic Training Course, to be arranged on May 18 to 21, 2016, in / near Helsinki, Finland. The application period closes on 29th February.

What is FCA Roster?

After an earthquake or some other sudden disaster, the most rapid assistance is given by local emergency teams, saving lives and diminishing destruction. This is why Finn Church Aid (FCA) aims in all programs at improving local disaster preparedness and capacity, and at minimizing risks in advance. Link

Sometimes, however, the scale of a disaster exceeds local capacities, and international professionals are needed to work alongside the local aid workers, both instantly after a disaster as well as in the recovery and reconstruction phases.

One of FCA’s priorities in areas affected by disasters is to restart education for children as soon as possible, by building both temporary and permanent schools. At the same time the aim is to ensure continuous access to quality education by supporting schools and education actors during and in the aftermath of disasters.

To be able to react in acute situations, FCA has established a Roster of professionals, who are available for missions in crisis areas even at a very short notice. Short-time assignments may open both in FCA’s country programs and in the HQ in Helsinki. The length of missions usually varies from weeks to a few months. Roster membership opens an opportunity of employment with FCA, but does not automatically guarantee that.

The Criteria of Finn Church Aid’s Humanitarian Roster

Finn Church Aid is now looking especially for experts of humanitarian aid, qualified to do needs assessments in disaster areas as well as plan, coordinate and supervise implementation of relief operations. In addition, professionals of e.g. education, construction, livelihood and logistics are frequently needed in FCA’s operations.

To become an FCA Roster member, you should have a suitable educational background, at least two years’ working experience from your own field of expertise as well as experience of international work. Experience of international humanitarian aid or development work and/or international NGO’s as well as UN coordination and global fund raising (e.g. ECHO) are an asset.

Applicants are expected to have good health and to be able to work under pressure also in highly demanding environments. They should have good communication skills, be able to work in international teams and be culturally sensitive. A good command of the English language, both written and spoken, is obligatory, while fluency in other languages, especially French, is an asset. First aid skills are also required.

Candidates qualified for the following tasks will be prioritized:

• Needs assessments, planning, proposal writing, coordination and implementation of emergency aid

• Leading humanitarian operations

• Support to Education in Emergencies, i.e. restarting and supporting educational activities during disasters or immediately afterwards

• Planning and supporting food security and livelihood projects in disaster settings

• School construction in disaster settings (both temporary and permanent solutions)

• Logistics and material aid

The Basic Training Course in May 2016

To become a Finn Church Aid Roster member, candidates shall successfully pass a four-day Basic Training Course. The course is held in English, the focus being on core humanitarian principles and standards as well as FCA’s strategic themes and operational principles. The course fee is EUR 120, including full board and accommodation in double rooms during the course duration. Travelling costs to Helsinki and additional accommodation must be covered by the candidates themselves.

For more information please contact the Roster Coordinator, Ms. Liisa Perkkiö, tel. +358 40 5405541; e-mail: roster[at]kirkonulkomaanapu.fi.

Please find the application form for the May 2016 Basic Training Course using this link. Kindly fill the application form with detail, recording all relevant education, professional experience and other essential background information. The deadline for applications is February 29th, 2016. The applicants will be shortlisted for interviews which will take place during the weeks 12-14 (21^st March to 8^th April).
