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 with 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 and Camp-16 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 major responsibility of the Field Facilitator is to ensure the maintenance of hygienic conditions in camp and/or non-camp settings through conducting assessments on personal and environmental hygiene, identifying key issues and planning hygiene promotion activities, supervising Volunteers in hygiene activities, and training/leading a variety of hygiene promotion activities. Other than hygiene promotion, s/he will support other WASH activities going on at the particular Block as she has to play Block Focal role for the project. For day-to-day activities, the Field Facilitator reports directly to Project Officer and oversees the daily activities of the Volunteers-HP.
