Save the Children is the world’s leading independent child
rights organisation.
We’re outraged that millions of children are still denied proper
healthcare, food, education and protection and we’re determined to change this.
Our health and nutrition programmes are key to this goal and we
are seeking to dramatically expand the scale and impact of our work, both
direct interventions with communities, support to health systems at district
and national level and policy, advocacy and campaigns.
In line with this goal, we are seeking to recruit experienced and committed humanitarian health and nutrition professionals to help deliver this ambitious strategy for the East Africa Region to be based in Nairobi.
