Responsibilities & Context:
∎ Job Summary:
∎ CARE is one of the world's leading international humanitarian and development organizations, committed to helping people in poor communities improve their lives and alleviate poverty. Founded in 1945, CARE is working over 121 countries to fight global poverty and marginalization. CARE has been active in Bangladesh since 1949 and is one of the largest programs in CARE confederation. Women and girls are at the core of all CARE programs because they represent half of the marginalized group, and it is not possible to overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities. CARE Bangladesh works to implement programs with long-term impacts that result in sustainable changes for the extreme poor and marginalized communities.
∎ There is continuous new influx of refugees resulting in increase in population at multiple sites, which is overloading existing WASH facilities due to heavy use. Settlements are expanding quickly, with many more people still searching for space to make temporary shelters. There are acute humanitarian needs in the new settlements especially for emergency/lifesaving WASH support. The shortage of WASH facilities has also raised the risk of AWD outbreak.
∎ CARE Bangladesh is implementing the ‘Provision of life-saving WASH services to the Rohingyas refugee population in the Camp-15 under Ukhia sub-district, Cox's Bazar district’ with a project funded by UNICEF. The location of the project is Ukhia Upazila under Cox’s Bazar district.
∎ The Field Assistant will support the implementation, monitoring, and maintenance of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) activities at the field level. The role involves assessing the functionality of WASH facilities, ensuring repairs and maintenance, mobilizing volunteers, coordinating with stakeholders, and maintaining records. The Field Assistant will play a crucial role in ensuring service quality, community engagement, and safeguarding implementation according to the project's Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) and other relevant guidelines.
