Founded in 1945, CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty.

CARE places special focus on women and children, who are often disproportionately affected by disasters.
ABOUT THE ROLE / WHAT THE ROLE OFFERS
Women Lead in Emergencies is a proven CARE gender-transformative programming model for working with women in crisis-affected communities to increase their meaningful participation in humanitarian action, including preparedness, response, and early recovery in acute, protracted, and cyclical crises. Women Lead in Emergencies addresses an important gap in the humanitarian sector. It provides frontline humanitarians with a practical and flexible programming model and toolkit for working with women’s community-based groups to overcome barriers to their voice, participation and leadership so that they can take the lead in addressing the problems that are most important to them and their communities. Following piloting of WLiE between 2018-2021 and an independent evaluation (Dietrich, 2022), CARE is now rolling out the WLiE approach with CARE members and country offices in our humanitarian and nexus programming.
The Women Lead in Emergencies (WLiE) Specialist on the Rapid Response Team (RRT) plays a crucial role in providing responsive and high-quality technical and programming services for CARE staff and partners. The role requires an experienced technical advisor with expertise in both gender equality and inclusive governance. They will have practical experience of working in humanitarian and crisis-affected settings, including programming with communities and women-led organisations. They will be committed to becoming a specialist in the WLiE model (if not already) and be able to work flexibly with project teams and community-based women’s groups in diverse contexts to adapt the approach to their needs.
