London, United Kingdom Save the Children Full time

Save the Children UK has an exciting opportunity for a collaborative and influential individual with Statistical Analysis, Catastrophe Modelling or actuarial skills and experience to join us as our **Crisis Anticipation** **and Risk Financing Technical Adviser** working with our Humanitarian team** **to support the development of the Start Network's Anticipation and Risk Financing work through the development, testing and provision of scientific hazard data and models which are used to monitor risks and trigger financing and early humanitarian action.

**About Us**

Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.

The Start Network was incubated by SCUK over the last 10-years and became an independent entity comprised of multiple humanitarian agencies and an operational team referred to as the Start Platform, in May 2019. The Start Network is made up of more than 40 aid agencies, of which Save the Children is one, working across five continents, ranging from large international organisations to national NGOs. The aim of the Start Network is to deliver more effective emergency aid, harnessing the power and knowledge of the network to make faster and better decisions to help people affected by crises. It advocates for radical change to the system so that the world can better deal with the humanitarian challenges of today and in the future.

The Start Platform maintains a strong relationship with Save the Children as the grant custodian of many of the Start Network's programmes. The Start Crisis Anticipation and Risk Financing Team is a newly formed team which builds off the work of two former teams over the last 3-years. It is managed within Save the Children's Humanitarian Business Transformation Team but sits with the wider Start Programmes team (SCUK dedicated grant custodian team) and works closely with colleagues in the Start Platform
